Media and Communications Officer Oxfam International Afghanistan
Oxfam Novib is committed to ridding the world of poverty. We have a conviction that people are well capable of building a livelihood without poverty on their own, once given the chance to do so. Which is why we support local projects in developing countries, why we lobby governments and companies to take into account the interests of the poorest people, and why we campaign to involve Dutch men and women also in our work. We work together with other Oxfam affiliates to increase our impact on development issues. For the Oxfam Novib Office in Kabul we are currently looking for a Media and Communications Officer, Context In 2005 OGB, ON and Oxfam America (OA) jointly established an Oxfam International policy and advocacy programme in Afghanistan. It is regarded as one of the leading policy and advocacy organizations in Afghanistan. We have sought to achieve policy change in a range of areas in order to reduce poverty, promote rural development, reconstruction and stability. OI has produced comprehensive briefing papers advocating for: greater resources for and reform of the education system; trade policies which support poverty reduction; greater support for community peace building; action on key priorities, including sub-national governance reform and agriculture; and increased and more effective international assistance to the country. OI has also pressed for greater protection for civilians in the course of military operations, improved civil-military coordination, and for greater support for the poor and vulnerable, including those suffering as a result of humanitarian crises. The framework for current work is the OI advocacy campaign, Rights in Crisis (RiC), through which we will draw international attention to the right to protection and the right to assistance of people in humanitarian need, as well as calling for policy change and action on the longer-term issues of peace and development. Media and popular communications is an important dimension of the campaign. Purpose of the job | ||
