| OXFAM (Oxfam Mekong Initiative) |
| Description | Oxfam is an international development agency, which works with local partners to find lasting solutions to poverty and related injustice around the world.
The Oxfam Mekong Initiative (OMI) is a joint effort of the eight Oxfams working in the six riparian states of the Mekong River. Together with its partners, Oxfam is working to promote the interests of the poor throughout the Mekong Region during a time of extensive and rapid development, which is complex in nature and often includes difficult trans-boundary issues.
|
| Activities | In recognition of the right of all people to be able to farm, fish, trade, have an informed voice, and contribute to decision-making at the levels that they choose, the OMI has focused on the four thematic issues: trade, poverty reduction, infrastructure, and capacity building. The Oxfams in the Oxfam Mekong Initiative are affiliates of a worldwide confederation of twelve Oxfams.
As the Mekong Subregion is developing rapidly, it is increasingly vital that the millions of people who depend on the Mekong’s rich natural resources for their livelihoods maintain access to and management of these resources. Oxfam is working with counterparts to enable politically and economically excluded communities to have a say in the development decisions that affect their livelihoods.
