OXFAM who are we?
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 and help rebuild livelihood when crisis strikes. And we campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them.

Background The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) ratified the ASEAN Agreement on Disaster Management and Emergency Response (AADMER) in 2005.

The APG’s programme started in 2009 supporting ASEAN bodies with the drafting of the AADMER Work Programme, the implementation strategy for AADMER. Since then, the APG has been collaborating with the ASEAN Committee on Disaster Management (ACDM) and its Working Groups, the ASEAN Secretariat and the ASEAN Humanitarian Assistance (AHA) Centre, as well as ASEAN Member States to support the popularisation and implementation of AADMER. APG has recently initiated the 3rd phase of its strategic engagement, ‘Embedding Civil Society Engagement in AADMER Implementation towards Disaster Resilient ASEAN Communities.’
