Impact updates

a Global Innovation Lab for Equality (aGILE) – 2-Year Report (2023–2025)

In this first two-year report marking aGILE’s journey, there are powerful stories of creativity, innovation, resilience, change, and impact from Oxfam, partner organizations, and the communities served across Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

The report offers an inside look at aGILE—how it works, what it has achieved, the lessons learned, and a roadmap for the future. It highlights how aGILE elevates innovation across Oxfam and partner organizations by shifting mindsets, embracing experimentation, adopting agile and sprint methodologies, building innovation capabilities, and forging unlikely partnerships. At the heart of this work is a deep commitment to centering the agency of those on the frontlines of inequality—true to Oxfam’s feminist and decolonial principles.

None of this would be possible without the incredible support of our donors, partners, and Oxfam’s leadership. We are deeply grateful.

Let’s reimagine what innovation for justice can look like—together!
