Oxfam in Vietnam

What Oxfam in Vietnam does

Oxfam in Vietnam is the Vietnamese country office of Stichting Oxfam International, a Dutch-registered confederation of 21 member organizations operating in 79 countries. Established in Vietnam since 1955 with long-term development work since the late 1980s, the organization is headquartered in Hanoi with project implementation presence in Hue, Can Tho, Ca Mau, Thai Nguyen, and Da Nang. It operates as a non-profit, funded primarily through grants and donations from international institutional donors including DFAT (Australia), SDC (Switzerland), and DGD (Belgium), rather than commercial revenue.

The organization implements a portfolio of development programs organized around three strategic goals: Gender Equality and Women's Agency; Social Accountability and Empowered Citizens; and Secured Livelihoods and Resilient Communities. Active flagship projects include the Mekong Water Governance Programme Phase 3 (IP3, 2025-2029), the DGD Project on decent work in shrimp-rice value chains (2022-2026), the AGREEN Project on green investment and ESG in agriculture, and the PWG (Women-Led Green Transition Initiatives, 2024-2029). Implementation is delivered through a network of local partners including the Centre for Social Research and Development (CSRD), Vietnam Farmers' Union, VCCI-HCM, the Mekong Institute, and local Red Cross chapters.

The organization also produces knowledge products such as the ESG Report on Agricultural Value Chains, the Human Economy photobook, and the Inequality Matters magazine, and promotes a "Human Economy" framework positioning people and the planet ahead of profit. Core technology is not applicable; the operating model relies on field-based program delivery, government and civil society partnerships, and donor-funded grant administration rather than proprietary technology products.
