How Oxfam's local partner model is changing the system of humanitarian response in the pandemic

Local Leadership and Decolonizing Recovery ([link removed] )

Hi Friend,

Today, our country is at an inflection point. At Oxfam, we're coming together to uncover the systems of oppression that permeate our world and reflect on the racist and colonialist roots of humanitarian response.

In order to achieve this, we recognize that we must challenge and transform ourselves, redefining and deepening our partnerships, and learning to more effectively support local humanitarian actors and leaders.

We invite you to take part in our vision of a globally equitable recovery from COVID-19 – one that centers the needs, skills, and capacities of our partners. Join us for a special, one-hour session of our COVID-19 Conversation Series about Local Humanitarian Leadership and how together we're building back better for the future.

Tune in to Local Leadership and Decolonizing Recovery ([link removed] ) , live next Tuesday, July 28, at 5:30 p.m. ET. You'll be in conversation with Oxfam staff Janice Ian C. Manlutac, local humanitarian leadership advisor, and Fatema Sumar, vice president of global programs, discussing:

- The impact you help achieve through Oxfam's local partner model
- Firsthand results from the shift to Local Humanitarian Leadership in the Philippines
- Other actions Oxfam is taking to reverse the legacy of colonialism in humanitarian response
