OXFAM who are we?
OXFAM INTERNATIONAL VISION:
Oxfam’s vision is a just world without poverty: a world in which people
can influence decisions that affect their lives, enjoy their rights, and
assume their responsibilities as full citizens of a world in which all
human beings are valued and treated equally.
OXFAM INTERNATIONAL OBJECTIVE:
Humanitarian Assistance: By 2019, supported by the international community
and humanitarian organizations, local state institutions and civil society
in the most crisis prone/affected countries are able and willing to
deliver high quality, impartial and independent assistance to those in
need
Resilience: By 2019, resilience to disasters and conflict is strengthened
in high risk countries, through improved disaster preparedness and risk
reduction, and building the capacity of civil society groups and
communities, in particular women, to manage shocks, stresses and address
root causes of conflict.
Women's rights: By 2019 the different impact of conflict and disasters on
men and women, and their differing needs, are recognized and addressed by
duty bearers and humanitarian organizations, leading to greater gender
justice and respect for women's rights in crisis affected countries.
Vision for Indonesia
Oxfam Indonesia has the vision that people in Indonesia will live
equitably and free from injustice of poverty, enjoy their rights, and are
resilient in times of disasters. By 2020, 2.5 million women and men in
Indonesia are empowered to overcome poverty, vulnerability and inequality.
Background
The Power Up-Participation via Technology is a three year (2017-2019), $3
million project funded by Global Affairs Canada and will be implemented in
Nusa Tenggara Barat (NTB) province in Indonesia. Using innovative and
accessible technology it will empower women, men, boys, girls, and
marginalized groups to increase their engagement in democratic decision
making processes to exercise their rights’ improve their ability to access
and understand information, demand improved government accountability, and
access improved services.
The initiative will make extensive use of technology platforms based on
mobile communication and websites to strengthen active citizen
involvement, with special focus on women and especially marginalized
women. The initiative responds to the Government of Indonesia’s commitment
to the decentralization of decision-making in budgeting and planning to
district and village levels, including but not limited to the 2014 Law on
Village Development (law 6), which obliges village level government to
facilitate effective participation of citizens in budgeting and planning
especially for health needs of women.
The project will also work closely with the district and sub-district
health offices under the Ministry to Health for better transparency and
accountability is ensured at the village level to address the maternal
health needs of the women using technology. Oxfam’s partner in developing
the project’s innovative technology applications and platforms will be
VOTO Mobile. VOTO Mobile is a Canadian technology company with years of
experience in developing applications to increase public participation in
democratic processes in collaboration with local Indonesian mobile network
operators (MNOs).
