Background
Oxfam is a global movement of people who won’t live with the injustice of poverty. Together we save and rebuild lives in disasters. We help people build better lives for themselves. We speak out on the big issues that keep people poor, like inequality, discrimination against women and climate change. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can live without poverty.
The vision of the Programme Strategy and Impact Team (PSIT) is to increase the positive impact of
programme interventions in support of our aim to alleviate the injustice of poverty. We do this by
driving higher quality programming and learning within Oxfam, developing more integrated
approaches to programming, by networking across teams and offices and increasing the influence
of Oxfam’s leadership on policy and practice internally and externally.
