This consultancy will help Oxfam examine its internal practices, promoting shifts toward shared leadership, collective decision-making, and transformative accountability. This journey aligns with Oxfam’s Global Strategic Framework (GSF) and the Horizon 2 Roadmap for 2024, which envision Oxfam as an confederation that embodies and champions decolonial feminist values in both internal and external spaces.


The primary objective of this consultancy is to support Oxfam in beginning a transformative feminist organizational change process grounded in decolonial feminist approaches. This initial phase will lay the foundation for long-term change by embedding and cultivating practices that counter colonial, patriarchal, and hierarchical practices and structures while prioritizing shared feminist leadership, inclusion and equity.
