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.

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.
