About Oxfam

Oxfam is a global movement of people who won’t live with the injustice of poverty. Together we save and rebuild lives in disasters. We help people build better lives for themselves. We speak out on the big issues that keep people poor, like inequality, discrimination against women and climate change. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can live without poverty. 

Background

As the Oxfam Pilipinas country team embarks on its application process for full membership status within the global Oxfam confederation and fully transitions to its portfolio management system, there is a need to carefully assess results and impact of its past programs and draw out insights that could inform future work with partners. In line with the Oxfam confederation’s new Global Strategic Framework or GSF (entitled Fight Inequality: Together, We Can End Poverty and Injustice, 2020-2030), the country team has also recently drafted its own country strategy paper (“Patas na Bukas: The Future is Equal – Together we can end poverty and injustice”, 2022-2027), outlining desired immediate to long-term outcomes along its three (3) new portfolios – resilience, gender justice, and humanitarian.  As locus for Oxfam Pilipinas’ programming within the next five (5) years, these portfolios’ theories of change would benefit from a systematic review of gains, shortfalls, and insights from previous programs.

For the past eight years since April 2015, Oxfam in the Philippines as Oxfam Great Britain’s office in the country has been implementing the Economic Justice (EJ) program with its target impact of contributing to the reduction of inequality and vulnerability among people living in poverty within partner communities.  Towards this goal, the Oxfam country teams and program partners have set for themselves four (4) long-term or final target outcomes which are:

• Rural and urban poor and most vulnerable women assert their power in markets and households, have control over productive assets and benefit from social protection
• Vulnerable households have their land, common property, and livelihood rights upheld
• Adaptation and risk reduction plans are adequately resourced and implemented to reduce risks to agriculture-based livelihood among rural and urban poor
• Available public, corporate, and civil society resources are invested responsibly to help improve economic conditions of the poor and most vulnerable people/communities
• In early 2019, the Economic Justice program team went through a midterm review (MTR) with co-steer and inputs from a contracted external evaluator. Following this review, in February 2020, Oxfam in the Philippines’ Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning, and Social Accountability (MELSA) unit conducted a metareview of sixteen (16) selected formal project evaluations and learning reviews done from 2018 to 2020, including findings from three (3) projects under the EJ program. The said metareview and the country team’s subsequent yearend assessment employed the outcome harvesting (OH) approach to capture observed changes in program stakeholders’ behavior, policies, and practices, and the contributions of Oxfam Pilipinas’ and partners’ programmatic interventions as well as other factors in achieving such outcomes.

In view of the Economic Justice program’s targeted closure in 2023, and in accordance with the Oxfam confederation’s Common Approaches to Monitoring, Evaluation, Learning, and Social Accountability (CAMSA), Oxfam Pilipinas has planned for the conduct of a final program evaluation with program partners and other key actors.  With funding support from Oxfam in America (OUS)’s Outcomes, Results and Changes (ORC) Evaluation Fund, said evaluation has been targeted for the fiscal year 2023-2024. 

It is against this backdrop that the program team intends to engage the services of a qualified and experienced AVP producer to develop an engaging audio-visual presentation on the key processes and results of the Economic Justice Program Final Evaluation, also highlighting the EJ program journey and its transition to its successor program, the Resilience Portfolio, with  a brief introduction of its programmatic goal, thematic priorities and ongoing projects. The video shall also illustrate how the EJ Program Final Evaluation results will or are informing the Resilience portfolio programming.
