Public health has a major role to play in addressing issues of food security, livelihoods and emergencies. To date Oxfam in West Africa has had a moderately sized public health programme in the region. However we now have an opportunity to increase the scale of our public health work, and more importantly to increase the impact of the programme, by ensuring that it is structured to most appropriately respond to the real underlying problems and to ensure that it integrates more effectively with other existing programmes.
Oxfam's Public Health work in West Africa also includes using water for livelihoods - including water harvesting and appropriate irrigation. We also aim to build on approaches to public health that can lead to risk reduction in regard to potential emergencies in the region.
Oxfam in West Africa is seeking to have a much more significant impact in the region through its Public Health Work. This is an opportunity to lead on the process of change required to help Oxfam achieve this aspiration.Consortium Coordinator
