How We Work

Oxfam works primarily through grassroots organizations to bring about deep rooted sustainable changes in people's lives through long-term development programming linked to positive policy changes at various levels. We also work through the lens of social exclusion and most marginalized by facilitating their right to be heard and mobilize them to campaign for greater economic and social reforms.

Oxfam seeks to:

Build capacity of the poor people at the grass roots-- facilitating relationships, networks, resources and capabilities to boost voice and opportunities of poor people and bridging the social gap;

Promote Multi-stakeholder dialogue - creating a joint platform to facilitate a constructive conversation among the poor, civil society organizations, governments, private bodies including media;

Monitor, research, analyze - delivery of public expenditure/private provision/government policy and using findings to promote informed opinion, debate;

Shifting attitudes and beliefs - through popular campaigning, alliances and mass mobilization; and

Mainstream - gender, caste and ethnicity (social inclusion) into all Oxfam's work.
