Background, Rationale and Purpose of the Evaluation
In alignment with the Oxfam global vision 2020 process, Oxfam in Nigeria aligned itself with the global goals and the one Oxfam model. To achieve this, an Oxfam Country Strategy (OCS) and Country Operational Model (COM) 2015-2019 was developed and launched.

The OCS is anchored on a vision of a ‘secure and prosperous Nigeria, where the benefits from economic growth are shared so the basic needs of all people are met; where the rights of women are respected; where all people, especially the youth, can participate in decision making and influence the policies that impact on their lives; and where public and private sector institutions are accountable and transparent’.

This vision is being achieved through the implementation of four interrelated change goals:
  • Transforming attitude about women's rights; and
  • Increased active citizenship and the accountability of public and private sector.
  • Saving lives
  • Sustainable increased income for the poor;
The OCS is being implemented in collaboration with close to 6O local partners including youth led, women rights organizations and the private sectors working in various capacities in all the four thematic areas of the goals, except for the Humanitarian Response where the organization ended up doing a direct implementation before the response was suspended in 2018. The OCS, whose implementation is supposed to end in March 2020, has been extended to September 2020.
