CO-Coordination and Management Given the commitment of Oxfam US and the Oxfam Regional Platform in Asia to promote justice in extractive sectors in Asia; and following the Oxfam 2020 modality, this regional project is to demonstrate the funding commitment from OUS to the OI Regional Platform in Asia  with the support of ONL as an Executive Agency to help manage this project. This project main objective is to enable the Regional EI Program Coordinator to fulfil his roles to coordinate the implementation of country and regional partner grant proposals inorder to deliver program outcomes and impacts. It will also enable him to contribute to the design of the new OI Global EI Program Strategic Plan taking into account the program experiences, the Asia#s context and priorities as guided by One Oxfam Regional Strategy Framework for Asia.



This project will complement the country based and regional partner based projects by fostering regional networks, learning and exchanges within existing regional platforms related to indigenous people rights, gender, and revenue transparency that would improve capacity of staff Oxfam country offices and NGO partners in Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Timore Lester, Philippine and  Indonesia while country investment of the program remains with 2 countries including Cambodia and Vietnam.  In addition, this project will strengthen its alignment with the OI Regional Strategy Framework by taking into account the changing context, opportunities, and challenges where ownership and leadership of the program have been transferred to the OI Regional Platform. This project will enable the regional EI program coordinator to develop, manage and oversee EI related projects contracted by OUS with partners such as Oxfam in Cambodia; Oxfam in Vietnam; AIPP in Thailand;and NTFP-EP in the Philippines.


 In addition under this project, we take the following approaches to integrate gender into the project interventions where the regional EI program coordinator will have the roles to play:
-       Gender and power analysis: This project will enable the regional EI program coordinator to offer technical advices and support to country projects in Cambodia and Vietnam and our regional partners namely NTFP-EP and AIPP to socializeapproaches of gender impact assessments and to promote better understanding of gender and power analysis with their local partners and network members.
-       Collection and analysis of sex and age disaggregated data: This project will enable the regional EI coordinator to offer technical supports and oversights to plan for gender impact assessment pilot in Cambodia
-       Gender capacity needs: This project will enable Oxfam to be better informed by grant partners about gender capacity needs through the Regional Women in Action on Mining inAsia Skillshare workshops. Identifications of gender capacity will eventually be turned into a project proposal for Oxfam#s funding.

-       Oxfam funds a Women#s Rights Organization: This project enables the regional EI program coordinator to offer coordination and technical oversights to NTFP-EP and Dhaatri who have received funding support from Oxfam to develop capacity of Women Human Right Defenders through the regional network called Women in Action on Mining in Asia (WAMA).

-       Individual Women#s access to resources: This project will enable the regional EI program coordinator to offer technical support in planning and review to enhance women voice at local, country and regional levels; and to strengthenwomen roles in controlling and access natural resources.
-       Social and cultural norms and exclusionary practices: The project will enable the regional EI coordinator to facilitate discussions with AIPP, a regional partner, on how to develop closer linkage between gender and FPIC.
