Oxfam - Dar Es Salaam

Oxfam is an international confederation of 19 organizations working together with partners and local communities in more than 90 countries.

One person in three in the world lives in poverty. Oxfam is determined to change that world by mobilizing the power of people against poverty.

Around the globe, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. We save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes. And we campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them.

In all we do, Oxfam works with partner organizations and alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty.

The program of work described in the Oxfam Country Strategy (OCS) 2015-19 will see the consolidation and strengthening of influencing work, improved documentation and publication practice, better supported strategic partnerships and collaborative approaches, embedded systematic learning from program and operational experiences which inform policy influencing at national level, and scaled up digital technologies use in programming and influencing.

The OCS aligns with the Tanzanian Government’s own development objectives, articulated in the Tanzania Development Vision 2025, and will also bring OiTZ into alignment with the broader strategic ambition of the Oxfam Confederation and Vision 2020.
