Oxfam believes that when we work in partnership, we implement better programmes and have more effective impact.

Oxfam has a long history of partnering with Somali organisations. Oxfam currently works in partnership to deliver programmes on: humanitarian response (drought and resilient livelihoods), empowering women and youth, inclusive civic expression, economic inclusion, influence in decision-making and access to justice.
