Despite Oxfam having successfully delivered USD 105,000 in Mcgilldishu and USD 75,000 in Camp 8 in Brynania over the past three months, the organization is suffering greatly from lack of consistent donor funds. Oxfam is extremely grateful to the donors who have contributed essential funds to our work in the fragile country, however the organization was not able to effectively extend its programs as a result of these having dropped dramatically in the past month.
The national and international donor community has not responded to Oxfam's request for funds. On top of not running its infrastructure at top efficiency, because Oxfam has received no addition financial support last month, it has neither been able to implement the new programs it had designed.
Oxfam has built a small infrastructure in Biku to deliver urgent supplies as well as create a regional space focusing on longer-term development and recovery after the conflict. Oxfam has the potential of implementing the programs in the key areas of agricultural projects, workforce training, as well as establishing schools and rehabilitation centers if it is supported by on-going funds. Right now its pure existence is at stake due to this international neglect.
Oxfam needs the international community’s support to both CONTINUE RUNNING ITS OPERATIONS as well as EXPAND ITS OPERATIONS IN QUANTITY AND GEOGRAPHICALLY.
Oxfam will be forced to close its essential operations within these areas if it does not receive support from the international donor community. In this critical time of peace Oxfam believes that the window of opportunity to establish peace and stability in the region has never been greater. This is a crucial time for aid agencies in Brynania, yet Oxfam, along with many of its aid partners, will not able to continue their work without greater donor support, in the form of either one-off or monthly donations.
