DEVELOPING MODULE IN GENDER & LIVELIHOOD
One
person in three in the world lives in poverty. Oxfam is determined to change
that world by mobilising the power of people against poverty.
Around
the globe, Oxfam works to find practical, innovative ways for people to lift
themselves out of poverty and thrive. We save lives & 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 organisations and alongside vulnerable
women and men to end the injustice that cause poverty.
Program
Restoring Coastal Livelihoods (RCL) is a 5-years project initiated
by CIDA, Oxfam Canada, and Oxfam GB to be implemented in South Sulawesi. RCL undertaken with the financial supports of the
Government of Canada provided through the Canadian International Development
Agency (CIDA). The project supports sustainable economic growth by working with
communities and local partners to increase family incomes by sustainably using
renewable natural resources.
Formal policies do grant
equal rights to women and men. However the reality is that those policies might
only affect change on the ground – and promotes equitable rights for men and
women – when appropriate programs and projects are planned and implemented and
sufficient budget allocations are made.
To ensure this, community participation in the government’s planning and
budgeting process is needed. And as women’s specific concerns are not always
represented at the community level, their increased participation is vital. In
order for community representatives to be able to effectively participate in
government planning, budgeting, and decision making processes, they need to be
organized and possess a confidence based on adequate knowledge of the issues
and of the processes they will participate in.
For this purpose, the
project has facilitated the formation of a community’s group at the village level, supporting them
with routine meeting which comprise various gender issues especially with
related to community’s daily life. However, it’s noticed that we are lacking
practical module which is applicable for
community.
Objective :

advocacy for gender and livelihood trough routine meeting using applicable and
interactive tools (games, simulation, study case or pictures) so that women and men could possess confidence and
actively participate in decision making process i.e Musrenbang process both in

be conducted to try out the module before widely distributed.
