humanitarian aid

The world’s population requiring humanitarian assistance has been growing in recent years. The UnBlocked Cash project is a blockchain-powered cash transfer solution that improves how aid is delivered without compromising the dignity of beneficiaries. It is saving costs of distributing aid, reducing delivery times, and bringing more transparency and accountability.

The European Union risks fuelling conflict and human rights abuses around the world if it adopts the European Peace Facility (EPF) in its current form, warned Oxfam and 39 other civil society organisations with expertise on peace, human rights and the protection of civilians.

This paper explores the lessons learned by the Norwegian Refugee Council and Oxfam in more than ten years of combined operational experience from Damascus which can inform and improve the overall aid response in Syria.

Oxfam has developed an “Improving Safeguarding and Culture Plan” to drive its work over the next two years. The plan aims to align our approach across the confederation and links our work on safeguarding, culture change, gender, programs and human resources, within an improved governance framework.

Current levels of aid from rich countries are woefully inadequate to help developing countries face the coronavirus crisis, said Oxfam today in response to new OECD aid figures for 2019.

Tens of thousands of people across Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique are still suffering 12 months after Cyclone Idai battered Southern Africa, warned Oxfam today. Cyclone Idai, one of the worst cyclones to hit Africa, made landfall on 14th March 2019.

Oxfam’s humanitarian work in Iraq is restricted due to heightened security concerns, road checkpoints and travel difficulties, following Iranian missile attacks on US military bases in Iraq overnight in retaliation for the US killing of the Iranian General Suleimani.

In the worst-affected areas of Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Malawi, we’ve met survivors like Dorothy, Joshua and Madelema who have lost everything, their lives devastated by Cyclone Idai. They are in urgent need of life-saving humanitarian assistance. You can make a difference.

Battered by cyclones and ravaged by extreme drought, poor communities in the Horn of Africa and Mozambique have found themselves on the front line of a climate crisis they did little to create.

Oxfam has a long and well-recognized record of humanitarian relief in times of crisis. When disaster strikes, we respond - delivering high quality lifesaving assistance and essential protection to the most affected.
