Oxfam is a global movement of people who are fighting inequality to end poverty and injustice. There are currently 21 member organizations working in 87 countries. We have a vision of a just and sustainable world. A world where people and the planet are at the center of our economy. Where women and girls live free from violence and discrimination. Where the climate crisis is contained. And where governance systems are inclusive and allow for those in power to be held to account.
ABOUT FAIR FOR ALL
The strategic objective of FAIR4ALL is: A strengthened civil society which is capable of creating space and mobilizing people across geographies to demand and contribute to more inclusive and sustainable trade and value chains that respect human rights, protect the environment and promote women’s economic empowerment.
A consortium comprised of Oxfam Novib, Huairou Commission, Third World Network (TWN)-Africa and SOMO will implement this 5-year programme with funding from the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) under its Power of Voices subsidy framework. Total programme budget is just over 71 million Euro’s. Recognizing the complexity of global value chains and challenges, this coalition has consciously assembled partners with a diversity of tools and capacities to approach the problem with multiple tactics and strategies and to create influential spaces to re-shape global value chains. Our key strengths relevant for this programme include: The programme will be implemented from 2021 through 2025 by over 130 organizations in 17 projects: 13country projects (Brazil, South Africa, Mozambique, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, OPT, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Cambodia, Myanmar), two regional projects (Africa and Asia), Global and Netherlands projects. A profile of the organizations is provided in the chapter summarising these organisations’ self-assessments of their capacities.
THE OVERALL PURPOSE OF THIS ASSIGNMENT
To this end, we are commissioning an Event Organizer to take lead on all logistics: travel preparations, including visa, immigration and public health requirements in particular; organising local transportation, arranging accommodation inclusive of meals, undertaking the communications leading towards and during the event, and managing the technical and organisational aspects of the meeting until the departure of the whole FAIR for ALL team back to their respective countries.
OBJECTIVES OF THE ASSIGNMENT
When Fair for ALL started, there was initial conversation among country teams and regional platform Asia to closely coordinate and identify the areas for collective influencing at regional level. As we reach the halfway mark of the FAIR for ALL journey, we strongly feel the need to come together to take stock of the programme’s progress so far by reflecting on the MTR findings to foster personal connections and inspire one another. Next to building synergies across countries, creating these real-life spaces is much needed to connect and collectively explore news ways of addressing cross-cutting challenges – such as the progressive shrinking of civic space across the world, attacks against human rights, and the impacts of climate change that changes everything. In facing these challenges, we also see our partners responding in smart and flexible ways and the projects are adjusting to it. Two years down the line of implementation, we need a safe space to share our learnings, discuss emerging issues, adaptive management approaches, and strategies that will help us move closer to our strategic objective of a strong civil society that is capable of demanding economic justice.
The Fair for All Programme is organizing two events, titled: BRIDGING THE SYSTEMS: RECONNECT ASIA in both programme regions: in Accra, Ghana for the Africa region between 3-6 October, 2023 and Phnomh Penh, Cambodia, for the Asia region between 17-20 October, 2023 for all FAIR for ALL partners. The events are intended to create an opportunity for learning and reflection and help scale efforts through increased regional collaboration.
