Oxfam Colombia works through a community-led go-to-market model, partnering with local NGOs, social movements, women's groups, and indigenous networks, and combines direct community intervention with evidence-based advocacy and high-level participation in conferences such as COP4 Escaz\u00fa, the Santa Marta 2026 Conference, and IAFFE 2026.\n\nOxfam Colombia is a non-commercial, donation- and grant-funded entity with no revenue disclosure. Its funding sources include individual donors, institutional donors, governments, and foundations channeled through the Oxfam International confederation. Distribution is conducted via direct program implementation, free open-access research publications, conference participation, and earned media through its regional communications team, with no products sold and no proprietary technology stack.
