Mission Statement
Oxfam in Vietnam works for a place where benefits, costs, opportunities and risks of growth are equitably shared and where disadvantaged and marginalised groups are no longer excluded. We seek to end poverty, inequality and injustice through dialogue with government and business, through pressure where people’s voices will need to be compelling. All Oxfam’s work is framed by our commitment to five broad rights-based aims: i) The right to a sustainable livelihood; ii) The right to basic social services; iii) The right to life and security; iv) The right to be heard; v) The right to an identity.
History of operations in Vietnam
In Vietnam, Oxfam is one of the leading international non-governmental organisations (INGOs), especially in rural development, disaster risk reduction and humanitarian response, civil society development, ethnic minorities, and women’s empowerment. Oxfam’s first activities in Vietnam took place in 1955, when we provided humanitarian assistance. Since the late 1980s we have implemented a number of development projects across Vietnam aimed at reducing poverty. After Vietnam reached the lower-middle income benchmark in 2010, the needs of the poorest and most marginalised groups in society remain high; Oxfam’s country strategy has shifted accordingly to addressing inequality.
