OGB Indonesia UP Case studies Research/Case studies in Indonesia for the development of the UP Campaign
ON The Hague and Oxfam in Indonesia are excited about theUP campaign development by the Jakarta team. ON has supported this development financially (research and a policy lead)and with human resources.
This project aims to collect stories through interviews of shrimp processing workers in Surabaya, shrimp farmers and processing workers in Lampung and fishing vessel workers in Muara Baru and Benoa, Bali in order to highlight the conditions they are forced to work in.
These interviews took place and complemented the facts already collected by our research conducted in these places and summarized in our Case Study and launch reports (produced via our previous project A-03593-53, to be more specific the outputsconsisted of a Case Study - output 3, launch report - output 4)
The interviews were in some cases followed up by video interviews and the basis of the stories was used in campaign materials. Additionally, Oxfam provided human resources support which allowed to contract a digital campaigner. The latter made possible the development of part of the designs as well as the campaign strategy. Ultimately, this allowed to strengthen the digital campaign capacity of the alliance andpartners.
Access to land for people of rural area In rural areas in general and curiously in the areas of the project, women, youth and people with disabilities hardly access production factors. Those that have access to it don't have control even though the agricultural orientation law stipulates respectively its articles 53 and 54 that: The government guarantees equal rights to women and men in rural areas, in particular in agricultural exploitations. The insertion of youth in all activities bound to the Agricultural professions constitutes a priorityfor central and local governments.
The present project appears in the setting of the improvement of living conditions of the farming populations notably women, youth (girls and boys) and people with disabilities providing them with access to resources (land, finances) through theircapacity building on influence in the regions of Sikasso and Mopti in Mali. Vulnerable layers or even marginalized in relation to access constitute in these zones, women, youth and people with disabilities with regard to controlling production factors, although they constitute the majority of active producers in rural areas.
The project is based on an inclusive approach that combines strategies of mobilization, information, sensitization, empowerment, data collection and treatment and advocacy/lobbying, in favor of a change of policies and practices with regard to the layers above mentioned.

Oxfam will provide emergency assistance in cash or in-kind (food and NFI) according to the localisation of the IDPs targeted, improve access to water and basic sanitary infrastructures (latrines) and will activate committee protection in remote areas.
Tax Incentive Policy &Practice Transparency International Cambodia (TIC) is a chapter of Transparency International which as established in 2010. Its mission is working to fight corruption, and promote integrity, transparency and accountability in Cambodia.
Oxfam in Cambodia has beenin partnership with TIC in 2016 under Finance for Development project. The contribution of TIC in phase I was the national-wide survey on citizen#s perception on budget transparency and accountability in Cambodia and engagement initiatives in the participation from young people on fiscal issues.
In phase II, TIC will contribute with respect to tax exemption. Tax issue has attracted a lot of media attentions in recent years. While the country has committed itself to becoming an upper middle income countryin 2030, diversifying tax base is key to achieve this aim. The government has taken various measures in strengthening revenue collection while there is steady reduction in ODA. The expansion of the revenue collection has also created demands from citizensand civil society for fiscal governance to be more open and transparent. People need to know how money is raised, who pays and who does not pay their fair share of tax and how tax money is invested. It is important that everyone plays by the rules.
Whilethe public is pressured for tax compliance, especially through tax on incomes, they are also skeptical about tax fairness. They also want to know if big companies or corporations have paid a fair share of tax. They are questioning if these large entitiesare complying with tax laws, or if tax incentives or exemptions are provided in a transparent manner. The public really wants to know if the government is acting in a fair and honest way.
The government normally states that tax exemption is provided toattract investments to the country which in return generates jobs for people. In long-term, it is expected to receive more revenues from these entities through tax payments after the end of these exemptions or holidays. However, it is also argued that current tax exemption is not the most important factor for investment decision. Therefore, it should be more tailored rather than giving blanket offers as it reduces revenues for the country. It is also argued thattax exemption may also lead to tax avoidanceassome big countries are able to play with incentive/exemption rules which result in loss of state revenues.
The issue can be raised at different platforms. It can be brought into agenda at the public-private public forum. It can also be raised at other key popular moments that may arise in the future. The issue can also be brought into social media. Public usage of social media as a medium of getting information is more extensive. It has become an important platform to bring messages directly to thepoliticians.
Working with key development partners including the World Bank, the ADB, the SIDA and other partners is key for lobbying efforts. Through the collective voice, we may be able to have spare to work with key government institutionson realizing policy recommendations.
MENA regional activities Tunisia A regional power analysis and influencing workshop will enable Oxfam to shape its strategy and to strengthen and expand its regional network while a small portion of this fund will be allocated to contribute to the Influencing workshop aiming ultimately to develop the regional influencing strategy ensuring a solid and participatory process.
Part of this contribution will be granted to supporta local partner in Tunisia to strengthen its capacity and further consolidate the partnership, building on previous work with KAWAKIBI and the Civic space program. KAWAKIBI is playing a major role leading a coalition of CSOs (including Oxfam) to defend civic space through policy and advocacy work on the legal framework. It links to the broader region as we are witnessing many signals of Civicspace shrinking (e.g. Egypt). Oxfam Tunisia#s civic space works on protecting an enabling legal environment in which the freedoms of association, expression and peaceful assembly are guaranteed. At the same time, Oxfam works and supports various (informal) citizen movements and youth groups to create bottom-up spaces for civic engagement. As concrete example, Oxfam in Tunisia is working together with KAWAKIBI with a coalition of partners to prevent change of currently progressive NGO law to a more restrictive model through policy papers, supporting an advocacy campaign and lobbying.
Further work revolves around supporting a national event gathering a wide network of CSOs, the symposium of Civil Society annual editions, as a clear expression of our support to civic space protection.
To protect an enabling legal environment on civic space, Oxfam cooperates closely with leading national and regional human rights,democracy transition, and governance monitoring NGOS in Tunisia, including KAWAKIBI, FTDES and Bawsala. These groups play an important role in ensuring accountability of governments to the people, active participation of citizens in the public policy formulation and reforms, and protection of human rights in Tunisia.
Oxfam in Tunisia is also connecting with youth groups and citizen movements.Many of these groups have just recently formed during the democratic transition period and are seen as vital to safeguard and further socialize democratic values on local and national levels. These groups are organized per themes, and tackle various issues touching on for instance local development, environment and economic opportunities. They are active on social medias and have a different modus operandi than traditional civic movements. #
Channeling additional funds to such experience will further strengthen the partnership and produce learnings and models to be replicated in the region.
Intermon Milk Campaign West Africa This strategic partnership project falls under the thematic area Right to Food. Through our work Oxfam Novib and SOMO aim to achieve that more small-scale food producers and agricultural workers, particularly women and their communities, benefit from local to global public and private sector policies that protect and promote their prosperity and resilience.

This project is part of a regionaleffort to advocate for fair and sustainable international practices in the milk value chains. This project is acontinuation of A-05631-02 and in this second phase of the project an advocacy note will be developed, which consolidates recommendations from previous research. These arguments will feed into the ECOWAS technical committee responsible for elaborating thelocal milk development strategy, Offensive Lait. To this end we will secure spaces for communication on these recommendations with the EOCWAS committee, opening the floor to representatives of West African regional producers# organizations, so they can voice their claims. We will amplify the public's voice by organizing a digital campaign and engaging with the President of the ECOWAS Parliament. And we will stimulate the implementation of the influencing strategy by national partners in several countriesin West Africa. As strategy in 2019-2000, we#ll seize the opportunity of validating the committee#s regional study and use this to create space for the national civil society stakeholders in the conversation about a regional local milk development strategy. We specifically use the spaces to:
- Feed the regionalstrategy of local milk development through an advocacy note produced by by the regional civil society organisations and which includes evidence-based arguments,
- Influence the ECOWAS ministriestoendorse the regional strategy document,
- Submit to Ecowas Heads ofStates, at their summit, an advocacy note asking for a directive on this regional strategy#s implementation.
- Get the support of the Ecowas parliament Speaker, who represents the community population, for the advocacy note already supported by 50 000 signatures of ECOWAS citizen.

The advocacy takes place in the context of empowering small holder farmers, especially women, through generatingincome from the local milk sector by improving production and linking the local production to international and local markets. The power of this campaigning and advocating work comes from the diversity of the stakeholders engaged and their respective entry pointsat institutional and political level in their countries and at the regional level. The strength of this work also results from the European coalition joining the campaign, so the voices can be better heard at European Union institutional level.
