Local partners
Oxfam collaborates with local organizations to help people identify and address the root causes of poverty. Today, we maintain relationships with more than 250 partners on the ground; these strategic alliances are the key to our success.
Oxfam's work with local partners brings together the following:
Local skill and knowledge
Communities often have a clearer idea of what could help them overcome their problems, but lack the resources to make it happen. When empowered to take ownership of a problem, they create solutions that last.
Global strength and experience
Oxfam provides funding, training, and support to get solutions started. With our decades of development experience, we offer tested ideas of what has worked for other people in similar situations. Our position in the international community also enables us to tap into institutional and governmental players that communities may need to realize change.
