Shaping a stronger Oxfam for people living in poverty

Oxfam is convinced that people have the power to end poverty. All they need is an opportunity. Oxfam is committed to make sure everyone gets that chance. That is why we support local projects in developing countries, why we lobby governments and companies to listen to the poorest people, and why we campaign to involve both men and women in our work. Oxfam is a confederation of 17 organizations that work together to increase the impact of its long term development and humanitarian responses.

In Egypt Oxfam works with local partners on three main priorities: Gender equality, local governance with a focus on social and economic development and food security including youth employment. On these issues the Egypt country program has ongoing externally funded programs and the ambition to develop new programs to increase its level of activity.
