Business Transformation THE BROADER OPPORTUNITY The economic agenda is shifting rapidly and many are questioning the ability of the shareholder capitalism model to deliver fair and sustainable outcomes. Even institutions and thought -leaders, such as the WEF and the magazine the Economist, are even questioning whether we need to rethink the dominant structures of companies so the economy incentivises decisions leading to sustainable and fairer outcomes. The global narrative is opening to allow questions to be asked around whether alternative business structures, such as employee -ownership, co -operatives, benefit corporations and social enterprises (among others) hold answers to promoting a new breed of companies with sustainability and fairness instilled in their DNA. IN NATIONAL INFLUENCING  In countries Oxfam works in, opportunities are opening for Oxfam and allies to be more propositional about the kinds of business structures that are better for people and planet – and the kind of policies that can help these structures enter the mainstream of the economy. Oxfam is well placed to be a thought -leader on this, due to its extensive experience in enterprise development of similar progressive models of business. As countries look to link programmes and influencing, promoting public policies that favour the kinds of companies that are closer to Oxfam's values can be key. Knowing what these companies look like and the evidence of their positive impacts will help tremendously. This project will allow us to map out the range of corporate structures that exist around the world and pull together what is already known about their impacts.  IN THE SHORT TERM It would serve an immediate need of allowing us to be more specific in papers, speeches and advocacy meetings about the kinds of corporate models that could be promoted.  IN THE LONGER TERM It will serve a longer -term need by preparing the ground -work for a larger collaboration with thought -leaders and institutions (such as universities, think -t

Dangerous Delay - Global Research Report This paper will look at systemic changes required to deal with drought.  It will highlight the critical recommendations from Dangerous Delay and other reports, and look at whether progress has been made on them, in the context of the current El Nino drought. It will build on Dangerous Delay, but will take the narrative in a different direction – arguing for more development -based/preventative solutions focused on building resilience, rather than reactive humanitarian ones. The report will make the case for fundamental and systemic change to the approach to drought.  It will look at the blockages for this, and propose incentives. It will also highlight the cost of not doing this.  It will be produced for the World Humanitarian Summit. The summit will (amongst other things) address the development -humanitarian nexus and is the right place to produce a report that will address the urgent need for fundamental systemic change so that development takes predictable drought stress into account. In the short term, the report will provide a focus on the current El Nino crisis, and give further impetus to the short and long term responses required.

Research: World Bank implication in land disputes Investigation of World Bank involvement in land grabs between 2008 and 2012/3. Particular focus on agribusiness projects involving involuntary resettlement, but focus could also extend to projects acquiring land currently used for farming or projects acquiring common land/forestry resources people rely on for their food security, with a particular focus on the rights of women and marginalised groups. Research should include collection of testimonies/quotes from affected communities where possible. Investigation should encompass three categories of project:
Effectiveness of community engagement in WASH emergencies The project will be implemented in three different programme locations looking at different contexts ranging from rapid onsets (e.g. Bangladesh), to protracted crisis /conflict settings and disease outbreaks.

Focus is on PLHIV marginalised groups such as women, OVC, MSM, TG people, sex workers, IDUs. Integrating HIV issues into emergency response will be given attention in light of climate change.
Enhanced Response Capacity - Cash Based programming Out of consideration for ‘do no harm' and efficiency principles, humanitarians have increasingly invested in market analysis in recent years. The expansion of cash and voucher based responses in the humanitarian sector, together with pro -smallholder procurement and other market -based activities has driven this trend. One such initiative is cash -based programming (CBP) building on the potential, appropriateness and importance of allowing for and supporting markets to respond to humanitarian needs where feasible. At the same time, introducing CBP programming where appropriate and feasible continues to be hindered by perceptions and concerns of the increased protection risks presumed inherent in CBPs. There is a simultaneous and growing recognition that the role of humanitarians is not limited to the provision of material assistance, spurring dialogue on the protection implications of cash and vouchers; specifically the obligation to reduce potential negative impacts (do no harm) and the potential to maximise positive impacts.   Recent research has indicated that clear gaps remain including: the policy and operational implications of programming the multipurpose grant, and the knowledge base and tools to better understand and manage protection risks and benefits of cash. To this end, Oxfam will work with a partnership of UN agencies and international and national non -governmental organisations (NGOs), to increase emergency preparedness and capacity to deliver multipurpose cash grants, while taking into consideration the protection implications of doing so. It will do so by building on previous and complimentary initiatives, adding value to important ongoing investments and efforts.
WE-Care: Women's Economic Empowerment and Care (Phase IV) Oxfam is a global organization working to create lasting solutions to the social injustice of poverty and inequality. The Women's Economic Empowerment and Care (WE -Care) program is Oxfam's flagship initiative to increase women's and girls' time and choice to participate in social, economic and political life by transforming how unpaid care and domestic work (UCDW) is valued, shared and invested in. WE -Care aims to: increase the recognition of UCDW in public policy; reduce heavy and time -consuming UCDW through investments in essential public services and infrastructure; redistribute the responsibility for UCDW more equally between men and women, and between households and the state; and ensure that women with care responsibilities are represented in the planning and implementation of budgets and policies that affect their lives. During the proposed grant period, WE -Care will scale -up civil society -led advocacy to push for tangible policy commitments on UCDW at sub -national, national, regional and international levels. It will support stronger engagement with key sub -national and national sectoral ministries such as water, public planning, energy and finance to advocate for greater investments in care -supporting infrastructure and public services. At the regional and global level, it will build pressure and visibility of UCDW as an economic, development and gender equality issue. It will support and work alongside women's rights organizations (WROs) to effectively influence decisions on UCDW in policy -making and budget -making processes.
Emergency Response in Lebanon for Syria Crisis The project aims at reducing the vulnerability of Syrians refugees and vulnerable host community members in Lebanon to hygiene and sanitation related diseases through the provision of basic personal and household hygiene materials.

Regional influencing capability development This project is intended to have indirect impact on the lives of people living in poverty across the MECIS Region.  This will be achieved as follows:  by running a programme of training and capacity building to increase the capability of Oxfam staff and partners to achieve policy, practice, attitude or bahaviour change at the local, national, regional and global level in the following programmes: economic justice and climate change adapation; rights in crisis; inequality;  gender justice; institutional accountability and good governance.
Oxfam Digital Lives around the world are increasingly digital. This project will begin Oxfam on a journey to ensure inclusion and confront the ways in which rights are upheld in our digital reality.  We will start by asking how we genuinely listen and are accountable to people we work with by seeking their feedback, scaling up the Your Word Counts project and understanding barriers to reporting misconduct. We will further seek to influence the ways the rights of people are upheld in the future of work and how this looks different in the context of digital changes such as automation or the gig economy.
Mobilising European citizens to place inequality and tax justice in the EC This project will initiate exciting and innovative campaigning to help European citizens link their experience of austerity and inequality to the tax justice agenda. This project will raise awareness and support for the global role of the EU in combatting tax avoidance and evasion and in promoting progressive and equitable tax reform. It will provide the impetus for reforms at national, pan -European and global level to take particular account of the needs and interests of developing countries. Policy -makers in EU institutions and MS promoting progressive tax reform will become more confident as they become more aware of widespread public support from European citizens and from activists in developing countries. Other decision -makers will be convinced of the importance of this agenda. Key actors in the EU will commit to and begin to implement reforms to facilitate increases in domestic public resource mobilisation in developing countries thereby reducing aid dependency and promoting fairer relations between developed and developing countries, in the context of the post -MDG consensus.
Climate change and agriculture advocacy This project will provide capacity and resources for reactive campaigning and media work on climate change and agriculture as necessary.
