About Oxfam

Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty.

That means we tackle the inequality that keeps people poor. Together we save, protect and rebuild lives. When disaster strikes, we help people build better lives for themselves, and for others. We take on issues like land rights, climate change and discrimination against women. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can enjoy life free from poverty.

We are an international confederation of 19 organisations (affiliates) working together with partners and local communities in the areas of humanitarian, development and campaigning, in more than 90 countries.

All our work is led by five core values: Accountability, Empowerment, Equality, Inclusiveness and Sustainability. To read more about our values please click here

As an agency undertaking work both nationally and internationally and in humanitarian response, Oxfam takes its duty of care seriously to safeguard children, young people and adults and recognises that it must meet community expectations and the trust placed in its personnel to maintain the highest standards of conduct with children. Therefore, all positions within Oxfam are required to comply with the One Oxfam Child Safeguarding and Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse policies and all staff sign the Oxfam Australia Child Safeguarding and One Oxfam Employee Codes of Conduct.

The Role

The Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP), funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), supports accredited Australian NGOs to implement community-based projects that have a direct impact on reducing poverty in developing countries. Valued at over $8 million, Oxfam Australia’s ANCP portfolio spans 14 projects, mostly in Asia-Pacific.

As the ANCP Coordinator, you will be responsible for ensuring that Oxfam Australia develops and delivers a high-quality portfolio of projects that meet Oxfam and DFAT’s standards and drive positive and inclusive change.

You will coordinate project planning, performance reporting, grant management and contractual compliance, and budget and financial management. In addition, you will lead the development of a five-year strategic roadmap for the ANCP portfolio to maximise its impact.

Reporting to the Institutional Funding Partnerships Manager and working within the Program Development & Effectiveness team, you will play an important role in identifying new flagship programs for Oxfam Australia’s ANCP portfolio that demonstrate and build upon our track record in gender justice, economic justice and climate justice.
