Company Profile Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty. One person in three in the world lives in poverty. Oxfam is determined to change that world by mobilizing the power of people against poverty. Around the world, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift themselves out of poverty and thrive. We save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes. And we campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them. In all we do, Oxfam works with partner organizations and alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty. Job Description Terms of Reference for a consultant to support Partners develop safeguarding and Risk Management Policies and Processes.
BACKGROUND In the past year, Oxfam experienced some safeguarding crises which has necessitated the review of our current culture, policies and processes and strengthen them to ensure we do not experience another crisis in future. Oxfam also believes in putting gender justice at the centre of all we do. This belief is shared by our CSO partners. In Oxfam in Ghana we use the three core safeguarding policies by OGB. These are focused on Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse Policy, our Child Protection Policy and our Safeguarding Adults Policy. These policies set out the standards of behaviour expected from all Oxfam GB staff and representatives, partners, and the protections offered to anyone under Oxfam's duty of care. These are complimented by our full suite of human resources policies. Oxfam GB's safeguarding policies are applied in all countries through the Oxfam International Country Director and Country Management Team, Human Resources, and the Safeguarding Focal Points. Achieving our goal of putting gender in centre of all we do is guided by our gender policies. These policies also set out standards of acceptable performance by staff and partners in organisational development, culture and management as well as in the design and management of our campaign and programme activities. In Ghana, this is currently being implemented as through our Safeguarding and Gender working groups made up of focal points. Due to the fact that we rely on partners for the implementation of most of our programmes, the risk of safeguarding seems quite high with partners. At the same time the need for partners to formulate and implement good organisational gender policies is high. One main objective of this assignment is to support partners put in place their own specific policies and process on safeguarding, gender and ensure accountability. In June 2018, we had an engagement with all partners to dialogue on the subject of safeguarding. Follow up action plans by partners indicate the need for further support to strengthen their systems to deal with the risk of safeguarding. The need for partners to have gender policies came up as a priority institutional strengthening need during consultations to agree on partner.
