OUR WORK IN ETHIOPIA

Since the early 1970s, we have been working to address the underlying causes of poverty and marginalization by focusing on developing sustainable livelihoods, providing water and sanitation, agriculture, climate research, gender, and humanitarian issues

Oxfam in Ethiopia is currently developing a program with the aim of contributing toward the economic empowerment of disadvantaged women and men youths in Ethiopia. The program will have two core change pathways: (a) contributing toward meaningful employment and job creation for youths; and (b) supporting enterprises to launch, expand and sustain business which will eventually contribute to job creation in addition to enhancing productivity. As part of the program, Oxfam is envisioning to work with a vast list of stakeholders including government authorities responsible for job creation, Technical and Vocational Training Institutions and other relevant educational institutions, Business Development Service providers, private sector actions, sector/industry representatives and the likes of it. This list is not exhaustive, nor it intend to be, and Oxfam is open to considering any other entities who can add value and contribute to the program.    

Considering the above, Oxfam is looking to identify credible partners who can complement the program design as well implementation of the program in either one or both the change pathways mentioned above.
