This grant to Oxfam America will support the Women’s Economic Empowerment and Care (WE-Care) program. WE-Care is Oxfam’s flagship initiative to increase women’s and girls’ time and choice to participate in social, economic, and political life by transforming how unpaid care and domestic work is valued, shared, and invested in. This grant will support advocacy for unpaid care and domestic work and undertake a collaborative co-creation process to design the next phase of the WE-Care program globally, regionally, and nationally in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.

This grant will particularly focus on strengthening the advocacy efforts to push for 30% of development funds from extractive sector revenue to benefit the development and rights of women and girls.
