CO-506609 Oxfam is engaged in Burundi since the 1990#s. First focused on financing strategic plans of local organizations and then engaged inhumanitarian response during civil war, Oxfam#s focus has from 2011 onwards progressively shifted again towards longer term development programs.
Today Oxfam is engaged in nine provinces (Cibitoke, Bubanza, Bujumbura rural, Rumongue, Makamba, Rutana, Ruyigi, Cankuzo and Muyinga) out of the 17 Burundian provinces and reaches about 50,000 beneficiaries through four main programs.
OXFAM has led two humanitarian projects in Makamba. The first one was a capacity building project on distribution of food around a WFP project of urgent food assistance in the province of Makamba (Nyanza-lac commune) from August 2015 to end of January 2016.
OXFAM has also been leading an unconditional cash transfer distribution (105,000 Euros from Irish aid) targeting 1,000 beneficiaries (identified along vulnerability criteria) in the Nyanza-Lac end of 2016.
Apart from Humanitarian projects, OXFAM is leading development and resilience projects both in Bubanza and Makamba.
OXFAM remains focused on development activities, including resilience projects targeting vulnerable populations (including activities in line with result 3 mitigation measures such as developing income generating activities, increase production and decrease vulnerability to shocks through good practices). However with the change of context, subsequent increase of humanitarian needs and population falling progressively in greater vulnerabilities, OXFAM is revising its approach to be able to respond or develop local capacities of response to humanitarian needs. OXFAM is developing an integrated approach to include response to population in needs of humanitarian aid and liaise/link with its development and longer term response to needs in Burundi.
In all its intervention Oxfam aims to support and build up capacities of local actors, and especially NGOs to ensure a local ownership and leadership over both development and humanitarian programs. Oxfam implements the majority of its project with local partnersand complements their interventions.
NAFEZA - Active Citizenship Nafeza, which is Núcleo das Associacoes Femininas da Zambézia is a network of women organisations in Zambezia Province. It used to receive support to strengthen the network of feminist Civil Society Organisations in Zambezia. For the current phase, NAFEZA is partof the AGIR Programme to promote CSO networks in Zambezia. Apart from working with other civil society organisations, the partner has also engaged with governmental institutions particularly the provincial branches of the Education and Health Sectors to promote sexual and reproductive health and rights. It has also worked with provincial branch of the Ministry of Interior in the support of gender-based violence survivors in Zambezia including a house to temporarily host these survivors.

The idea behind this network is that Oxfam has already invested in both organisational and thematic support to this partner under other programmes. The results of this support has started to appear and AGIR needs to consolidate the work well done so far by this potential partner. Zambézia is a strategic province for Oxfam in the coming years. In spite of being the second most populated province, and thus politically relevant, civil society platform is still very incipient in that province. Under the AGIR, the idea is to replicate the experience of Nampula Civil Society Platform to Zambézia. The partner will also scale up gender and SRHR activities in that province,

United for Land Rights in East Africa Ujamaa-Community Resource Team (UCRT). Reference: V-1730-XG-IF-54
The project aims to give voice to highly marginalised indigenous communities so that they can become one united voice, campaigning for their land rights at the regional and international level. This initiative is the result of joint efforts of six community-rooted partners in four East African Countries: Tanzania, Kenya, Rwandaand Uganda.
Land rights and access to resources continue to be a major issue for Ogiek, Batwa, Maasai and Benetindigenous communities. They suffer from lack of or limited access to resources and social services due to persisting forceful eviction from ancestral land and forests in the name of creating national parks or game reserves and other touristic facilities.Not only were these lands their ancestral homes, but also valuable resources for their livelihood and cultural traditions.
Through this project affected marginalised indigenous communities lead their own paths to claim justice as one united voice at community level and up. Together they strengthen their capacities, learn from one another and become the actors of change at different levels. The outcomes of this project are: a strong local/inter-community capacity building, mobilisation efforts, synergistic regional and international action effectively challenging current human and land rights abuses.

WE-Care partners UWONET in Uganda have made progress with the Uganda Bureau of Statistics, Uganda Revenue Authority and Uganda#s Ministry of Water and Environment recently announced an initiative explicitly aimed to reduce unpaid care workloads through public-sector investments.

Support Community Complaint vs FI-FMO The New Liberty gold mine, located in Grand Cape Mount County, Liberia, consists of an open-pit mining operation and an on-site processing plant. Supported by Inclusive Development International (IDI), Rights and Rice Foundation (Liberia) has a history with the affected communities, where they have tried to have a dialogue with the mining company. IDI supported RRF to write a letter to the company, which outlined the  human rights violations and requested a meeting with affected communities but the company was dismissive.The affected communities have urged Rights and Rice Foundation (RFF) in Liberia, during their field mission, to help them file a complaint to the FMOs ICM as a next step in their long struggle of seeking redress for the harms caused by this mine.
Through this grant, Oxfam will support partners to further investigate legitimate concerns over investments, and their ability to effectively engagethrough the ICM, so as to strengthen accountability mechanisms around ICM and the participation of civil society.
HO-503001 Oxfam America and Oxfam Novib are increasing their collaboration on common areas of work. The grant will be used to convene a workshop to develop a program framework on agriculture and climate change. The key objectives of the workshop will be to discuss and agree on key areas of work including a theory of change, joint focus areas, as well as identifying key roles and responsibilities of thespecific affiliates. Additional topics to be addressed include funding
opportunities (e.g. mapping of potential donors and existingrelations, etc.) and research needs. Gender will be a key aspect of the discussions and deliberations.

Gender Analysis Findings:
The grant will be used to fund a design workshop. The workshop will incorporate a gender analysis. Climate change impacts are strongly gendered and so participants will need to be looking at adaptation options and strategies that support women#s empowerment and improved gender relations.

Project Context:
For both Novib and OUS, climate change and agriculture are key areas of work. For OUS, theFood Systems theme includes two sub-themes directly relevant to this grant: expanding farmer opportunity and climate change. Likewise, Novib has just developed a climate change strategy and is looking to implement this strategy in particular geographies. The workshop will be an opportunity for the two Oxfams and key country staff to deliberate and arrive at joint priorities that will meet therequirements of specific Oxfam Country Strategies as well as be aligned with the strategic priorities of Oxfam Novib and Oxfam America. The workshop will also provide an opportunity for Oxfam staff to coordinate their support to country offices and thus avoid duplication of efforts.
