Oxfam Closeup, Summer 2026
Revolutionizing Rice Farming
In this issue, we explore how Oxfam continues to support the needs of people facing crisis, including our response to the Ebola epidemic in the Democratic Republic of Congo in the current context of aid cuts. You will also read about the Paso Canoas Humanitarian Network, a collective of volunteers, organizations, and religious groups that helps migrants at the Costa Rica–Panama border. Our feature story on rice farming in Vietnam demonstrates how a commitment to supporting innovation can be the seed for long-term, transformative change.
