Country Office 505418 Oxfam Novib Pakist Oxfam Novib# Lobby and Advocacy Team has decided to invest in programme development, one of the focus this year is on strengtheningOxfam# GROW campaign . An Action Plan was developed in March 2014 # initial work involves different countries in Asia region linking local campaign strategies to national, regional and global campaign strategies of GROW. This global GROW programme will build on on-going GROW national campaigns in Asian countries, the South Asia and Southeast Asia GROW regional campaigns and advocacy work at the international level. A Core Group has been set up to deliver the Action Plan in close coordination with Oxfam Novib Regional Manager for Asia and the head of the Lobby and Advocacy Team.
The evolving programme areas are focused on 3 themes (with knowledge management as cross cutting): right to food/food justice, land governance, and climate adaptation.  So far, concept notes have been developed already defining the (1) regional (East Asia and South Asia) GROW campaign strategies targeting national governments and regional institutions (ASEAN, Asian Development Bank); (2) global Right to Food influencing work (involving 3 Asian countries), and (3) land governance  advocacy in the Mekong Region. The consultant is expected to use these regional programme ideas in helping country and regional Oxfam teams identify local/national to regional/global campaign strategies which is core to her/his task towards designing the global GROW programme framework. This  global framework (programme summary/cpncept note) will be used in contacting and exploring partnership with external donors.

CEFORD-Provision of Wash services Despite the Peace Accord signed in the fall of 2015 and effected in June 2016, the influx into Uganda continues. The eruption of fighting in Juba in the week of July 3-8 2016; and the generally ongoing conflict across the country notwithstanding the now collapsedpeace accord, has led to renewed ethnic violence and more people are forced to flee the country though with access difficulties. The number of South Sudanese refugees fleeing to Uganda has once again escalated. More than 90,000 South Sudanese refugees have fled to Uganda since the outbreak of new fighting in Juba early July. An estimated cumulative total of 299,238 South Sudanese refugees have been received in Uganda as of 9th August 2016[1].  It is anticipated that the new influx will continue to increase reaching an estimated 150,000 (likely) within this year alone (2016).
CO-Social Protection and Labour Rights This programme is about the promotion of #Active Citizenship# with regard to social protection issues. More in particular look at the interplay between civil society and governments (local and national) and ASEAN, concretised in consensus building on demands, advocacy for demands, and promoting constructive dialogue.  It aims to support the strengthening of local, national and regional alliances and increase their cooperation in order to make maximal use of leverage points.

The project will approach the concept of the social protection from the perspective of #workers in marginal and informal employment#.  These workers have no access to the existingsocial security schemes, which are but meant for workers with a record of formal employment and are usually based on workers# financial contributions, deducted from their wages.  We will focus on influecing the government on their broader responsibility to provide protection to larger sections of the marginalised labour force, and more in particular to those who cannot afford to# buy# social security especially women.

Decent wages and working conditions, a key area in our previous programme, is considered as important complementary work, for which trade unions are better placed, given the responsibility of employers in this matter.
CO- Uganda Oxfam, in partnership with International Institute for Sustainable Development, IISD has finalized the development of a Technical and Community Gendered tool for Meaningful engagement in Large Scale Land Based investment. The guide is intended to provide an overview of the key steps in the Large Scale Land Based Investment (LSLBI) process, defining what women and community engagement looks like through LSLBI processes. It seeks to provide a resource for women, communities and those seeking to empower them by addressing associated issues in a simplified manner
The guide is specifically intended for use by women, communities, their organizers and their facilitators once they discover an LSLBI is proposed or underway in their area. The guide highlights five key entry points which communities can use to influence the LSLBI process through organized and targeted engagement.  The guide is intended to help maximize women and community#s ability to engage meaningfully in LSLBI processes. The guide development process was informed by community consultations in sampled countries among Communities affected by LSLBI. The countries include Cameroon, Kenya, Senegal and Zambia. Whileby no means providing all the evidence required, the information gathered from these countries was critical in development of the tools.

Pilot Testing of the Gendered tools
The proposed pilot exercise is intended to test the practicability of the guides while appreciating any flaws that may otherwise hinder the effective implementation of the tool.
Pilot testing of the guide will allow for feedback and an opportunity to raise issues about confusion or uncertainty of processes provided in the guide. The feedback will further facilitate refinement of the guide to ensure easy of its implementation. Additionally, the pilot testing will allow for identification of sensitive issues that may otherwise hinder the effective implementation.
The pilot testing exercise is critical as it provides an opportunity for communities to practically put the guide into real perspective, appreciate the step by step processes and the dynamics of using the tool in the future.

Objectives of Pilot testing of the tool
1. To explore issues that may potentially have an antagonistic impact on the tool implementation
2. To test the implementation approach and reliability of the process of implementation
3. To determine the acceptability of the tool among target audience
4. To test whether the tool meets its intended objectives

Country Office 506493 OXFAM NOVIB COUNTR Promote involvement of governments, media, CSOs and public in addressing gender stereotypes on WPL, in order to contribute to the advancement of gender justice in Viet Nam.
Over the past five years, a range of agencies # mostly government bodies, the media and international development partners- have done numerous studies and interventions to enhance WPL, hhowever, gaps still exist in tackling such an issue. Some of the examples include 1) limited understanding of what factors help challenge gender stereotypes to design effective interventions to tackle these issues, despite the fact that gender stereotypes have been identified as major barriers for the participation of WPL; 2) existing projects/interventions are not fully addressing gender stereotypes on women political leadership to shift the power imbalance; 3) media content has been found to reinforce gender stereotypes rather than challenging them; 4) limited co-operation or joint campaigns between the aforementioned stakeholders to shift public attitudes and perceptions on WPL; 5) insignificant role and limited participation of CSOs in promoting WPL.

The 2016 election is a critical momentum for strengthening multiple partnerships among government bodies, CSOs and media outlets aiming to change public perceptions and to influence policies on WPL.

This is a One Oxfam coordinated and joint effort to strengthen our influencing capacity in the area of gender equality and women empowerment. Through in depth research and collection of cases and stories, Oxfam will have strong evidences to build a significant advocacy and campaign programme over coming years. This project will further contribute to governance, economic leadership, and humanitarian programme. Oxfam will document the lessons learned and share broadly to provide better understanding of current WPL#s practices and gaps in the region.

Objectives: The project aims to promote involvement of governments, media, CSOs and public in addressing gender stereotypes on WPL, in order to contribute to the advancement of gender justice in Viet Nam.

Humanitarian Capacity Building Project Saibaan entered into partnership with Oxfam Novib for Humanitarian Capacity Building project in June 2013 focusing on the capacity building of staff and reactivation of DRR forums at district level. Some organizational systems were also to be reviewed and upgraded in the project plan. A significant part of the project interventions is focused on the staff capacity building, strengthening of District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) and community which overlapped with the HCB project interventions. Saibaan management, to avoid the overlapping of activities and effective and productive utilization of funds, in its last review meeting discussed it indetail and felt that new project (DRR) is fulfilling the staff capacity building needs, has enough engagements with the district disaster management authority and also sufficient focus on communities, therefore our focus in HCB project should be on the organizational policies and systems strengthening.

Saibaan Management discussed it in detail in review meeting and decided to request ON for amendments in the project (HCB) plan. It was also discussed in last (December 2013) BoG meeting and board also advised for the shiftof those activities of HCB project that were focused on staff capacity building trainings and DDMA functioning to strengthening andupgrading of organizational policies and processes. In this scenario it was extremely important to review the existing policies andprocedures of the organization, upgrade and refine financial, HR and M<(>&<)>E systems and software to make these inline with the present day needs and requirements. Saibaan management believes that staff capacity building is an integral part of organizational development but for a sustainable development and functioning of the organization, the systems should be strong, procedures and policies should be available to be benefitted by all the new staff.
World Citizen Panel Impact Survey- VEDCO The World Citizens Panel is an impact measurement method developed by Oxfam. The focus is on measuring changes in peoples' lives bycombining quantitative research (impact surveys) among Oxfam#s  target population and a control group with qualitative research (stories of change) and thus give participants a voice.  This project will help Oxfam understand how programmes can be improved, as well as contribute to the public debate on effectiveness of development cooperation.  The project builds on a previous startup workshopin which Oxfam agreed on how to undertake this impact survey.  Thereafter a reflection workshop was held to discuss the main findings based on the data collected among 14 partners with more than 4.000 respondents. The next step is to train partners in collectingqualitative stories of change in order to deepen the insights gained from the impact survey and get a better understanding of the changes that happened in people's lives. An impact report will be published, based on the surveysand the stories of change.
