Who we are
Oxfam in Kenya implements a large and innovative programme that incorporates humanitarian responses as well as longer term development and policy work that delivers impact for some of the country’s most marginalised people. Oxfam Kenya applies a one programme approach which means it has multiple activities that support a holistic approach to humanitarian, development and advocacy for long lasting change in poverty reduction. Oxfam in Kenya works in the arid lands of the north, principally in Turkana, Dadaab and Wajir; in the Nairobi informal settlements and at national level advocacy and coordination in multi stakeholder forums.
In Kenya, Oxfam aims to help millions of people with improved Hygiene and Sanitation, Social Safety Nets (including cash distribution), resilient livelihoods and more citizen led governance. Oxfam is increasingly developing its role as a facilitator or catalyst for change and it puts women at the heart of everything it does. Oxfam Kenya implements some of the organisation’s largest development projects and is increasingly focused on building Kenyan institutions rather than directly implementing itself.
