Media and Communication

In order to encourage strong communication within and outside Oxfam, we produced a number of communication products—monthly newsletters, infographs, short videos, collection of stories, and one pagers.

We regularly interacted with our audience on social media, Facebook in particular, which has become the most convenient medium for anyone to reach out to us, either seeking information on the trainings we provide, the support we provide to farmers, or current openings. We have also been supporting Oxfam employees and partner staff to document stories better. In all of the stories we produced or helped produced, we put people first, their voices and their issues, with a special focus on women.
