Mascot, Australia Oxfam Full time

**Context**

Oxfam Australia is one of 20 members of the global Oxfam confederation with a presence in 90 countries around the world. At Oxfam Australia, we believe all lives are equal and no one should live in poverty. We believe that in a wealthy world, poverty is unjustifiable and preventable, that the present state of inequality and injustice must be challenged, and that with the right support, people can change their lives for the better. In 2019-2020, Oxfam Australia directly reached more than 12.7 million people in 23 countries. We work directly with communities, in most cases through local partner organisations and seek to influence policy makers on issues which have a direct bearing on people’s lives. We strive to achieve our mission through long term development programs, humanitarian response, campaigns, policy research and advocacy. Our work is based on four intersectional thematic pillars, namely Gender Justice, Climate Justice, Economic Justice, and First People’s Justice.

**Responsibilities**

This proposed work is envisaged to correspond to the following tasks. Alternative workplans and timeframe may be presented by the consultant based on proven methodologies, approaches or experience.
