Enhancing Livelihoods Fund with Unilever and Ford Foundation Extension The Fund will provide finance for enterprises (usually the supplier) in Unilever's supply chains to improve their social impact in sourcing from smallholders, empowering women in the supply chain and improving conditions for workers. In this initial stage, the Fund will provide mainly grants to incentivize investment in new processes and relationships that yield better social impact.  The investee enterprise will also be required to contribute its own resources.  Investments will usually be around EUR 200,000 in total per investment.   The Fund will be governed by an Investment Board (supervisory) with representation from both Oxfam and Unilever and independent advisers.  The Fund Management Team (executive) will be a joint Oxfam -Unilever project team.   A key part of this initiative is to learn how major buyers (such as Unilever) can support suppliers to adopt more inclusive business models.

Women's Empowerment and Care (Work your Dreams)- Quality and Influencing This project will focus on ‘the how' of the WE -Care approach, communication and outreach to broader institutions. The technical content in relation to concepts, processes and methodologies of the WE -Care programme has new dimensions for most staff that Oxfam and partners will engage to work on in the programme. Even experienced, skilled staff will have a fairly limited knowledge around assessing unpaid care provision in households and communities or designing Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) systems to monitor and evaluate outcomes on care work and will usually have partial knowledge about how to design WASH with low -cost, low -tech laundry facilities to reduce care work. Likewise, staff may have knowledge about communications to shift social norms and gender roles but it is unlikely they will have experience addressing gender roles and perceptions of care work.At the heart of the project will be research, innovation, learning and the opportunity to build a critical mass of best practice through the prototyping of the latest technologies (within country initiatives) on low -cost, low -tech laundry technologies and to communicate ‘our' innovations ‘out' – so that good practice is replicated more widely beyond the immediate programme
Robin Hood Tax Campaign (early 2011) We have 12 months to secure a Robin Hood Tax but it is the first quarter of 2011 which will be the real test of the campaign. We need to utilise key opportunities and build the momentum in Europe during this period to carry us to success by November. Key events such as the World Economic Forum in Davos, G20 Finance Ministers meeting, EU Leaders European Council and the UK Budget all fall within this period. We need to galvanise European national campaigns so that they are able to exploit such moments to boost public support. A large volume of vocal support is essential if we are to demonstrate that a Robin Hood Tax is politically viable.

Capacity bulding to integrate gender based violence accross humanitarian sector The project will be implemented in emergency food security and vulnerable livelihoods (EFSVL) activities in two countries for a 12 month period. It will include the following components: 1. Development of sector -specific programme models that integrate Gender Based Violence (GBV) risk mitigation components. Programme models are intended to articulate how GBV risk mitigation guidance was adapted to the respective project with the goal of promoting learning for other humanitarian practitioners. Programme models will include lessons learned, what worked, what failed and samples of program management materials (e.g. assessment approach, log frames, implementation plans etc.).  2. Focused attention on measuring the effectiveness of GBV risk mitigation actions on sector -specific outcomes and perceptions of safety. This measurement will be embedded within existing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plans for each project. 3. A comprehensive learning and documentation process that prioritizes practical, field -oriented learning for practitioners and building the knowledge base on the effectiveness of GBV risk mitigation. The project will develop one case study per country in addition to other learning products determined during the life of the project. 4. Targeted capacity -building and technical assistance on GBV risk mitigation delivered by United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF's) Gender Based Violence in Emergencies (GBViE) team.

Promoting the Needs of Women in Conflict in MENA - Phase II This project will build on the first phase to contribute to making decision -makers at the national, regional and international levels more aware of and responsive to the practical needs and strategic interests of women and girls in conflict and fragile settings in MENA. It will do this through engagement of women's rights organisations (WROs) with national governments, regional bodies, and the UN system.  This will be achieved through two outputs:  1. increasing the capacity of WROs to advance women's leadership and participation on issues affecting women and girls in conflict; 2. facilitating WROs to play a more effective role in collectively influencing decision -makers.  To support these changes, Oxfam will capitalise on its global networks and alliances as well as its access to decision -making spaces that remain challenging for WROs to access. We will also use different models of partnership, like sub -granting, strategic alliances and coalitions; and work with actors including grass -roots organisations, well -established WROs, INGOs, UN agencies, and regional bodies.  Activities will be undertaken at the local, national, regional and global level and include knowledge generation and dissemination, developing the influencing skills of WROs and their ability to promote women's leadership and participation, convening and linking different actors, small -grant funding for grassroots organisations (GROs), dissemination of policy papers, national lobbying meetings, national campaigning, regional meetings and engagement with global networks.

Support to AAK The rising inequality has created disparity in accessing public health and education services in society. The main reason for the rise in inequality is unequal opportunities and access to basic public services. The most sufferers in society on this front are marginalized Scheduled Caste (SC or Dalit), Scheduled Tribe (ST), and girls facing multiple forms of exclusion in society. Through the findings of various research and studies, it became evident that to meet the expenses of education and health services, marginalized sections are pushed down to poverty. There has been an increasing trend of privatization of health and education services, which has further led to the exclusion of marginalized sections. The role of private service providers in both education and healthcare services is crucial, but at the same time, there should be a proper regulatory mechanism to safeguard the rights of patients' and parents' (or children), especially those from marginalized (SC, ST, women, and girls, Economically Weaker Section) sections. The project 'Discrimination -Free Access to Education and Health Services' strives to strengthen public healthcare and education services, while on the other hand, efforts are made to regulate private healthcare and education service providers. The project will strengthen the public healthcare and education systems by raising issues of discrimination and quality services at the grassroots and addressing gaps in policy or its implementation through volunteers and like -minded people working on the issue. The project will develop the capacity of the community, including parents, mothers' groups, and citizens, to identify gaps in implementation and issues of discrimination, support them in doing community -based monitoring of services, and help them raise grievances through appropriate grievance redressal mechanisms. The development of the decentralized plan by engaging panchayats and local authorities is one of the focus areas. The project creates an
Research fund for national research for the GROW campaign The project will finance and support several pieces of national -level research that will contribute towards the GROW campaign.
