Consultancy in Oxfam in Indonesia: Partnership Asessment Study

Background

OXFAM in Indonesia currently works with more than 50 partner
organizations, networks, alliances and CBOs. Through this work, OXFAM aspires
to make a sustained and significant positive impact on poverty and injustice. OXFAM
believes it is only by the collective effort of many actors (civil society,
state, private sector and others) that this goal can be achieved. Each of these
actors has a role to play in accordance with its responsibility, legitimacy,
its capacity and strengths, while holding duty bearers to account for their
commitments. These relationships are not about side-lining, displacing or
instrumentalizing others; they seek instead to foster complementary and to
harness the added value each may bring.


Last year (October 2012) the various
Oxfam affiliates active in Indonesia (OGB, ONL, OAU, ONZ) have agreed to bring
the various programs and projects under a more harmonised management system to
reduce confusion and promote efficiency particularly with regard to cost
effectiveness and impact.Working with partners is central in this joint
approach. The Oxfams are all working along one agreed country  strategy (JCAS) in which work is on three
programme: Gender Justice, Economic Justice and Rights in Crises.

However, there are challenges in our current partnership as well as
differences in the various approaches of the four Oxfam affiliates that may
hinder the effectiveness and the efficiency of our effort to make lasting
changes in people’s lives. Therefore, it is our expectation that this
assessment may help to  understand our
partnership practices and make necessary action points henceforth.
