About Oxfam

Oxfam is a global movement of millions of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty is not inevitable. Our vision is a just and sustainable world without poverty, a world in which people and planet are at the centre of just economies. We want a world where people enjoy their rights as full citizens; where every woman and man is empowered, valued and treated equally; where individuals can influence decisions affecting their lives.

Background and Purpose of the Assignment

Oxfam in Asia’s strategic vision of becoming a Knowledge-Based Organization and Thought Leader requires that knowledge becomes part of our day-to-day work and what we do. One of the key factors identified to support this transformation, is to enable Oxfam colleagues to quickly and effectively access accurate and relevant internal knowledge that has been documented in different forms.

Currently, Oxfam uses various internal digital platforms to foster exchanges and access to information and knowledge, including Oxfam’s intranet platform called COMPASS. COMPASS is mainly used and seen as a virtual resource center and is organised around communities, one of these being the “Oxfam in Asia” community. While COMPASS offers a great potential for shared knowledge, various challenges affect its effectiveness and so the access and use of knowledge.

The purpose of the assignment is to develop the Oxfam in Asia COMPASS community as a gateway to access Oxfam in Asia and Oxfam Global knowledge. We want to simplify the internal access to accurate documented knowledge for Oxfam in Asia colleagues by providing one gateway that:

• Makes available Oxfam in Asia’s knowledge products in the Oxfam in Asia COMPASS community.
• Organises knowledge as relevant to the Oxfam in Asia Strategy, main thematic focus and main approaches.
• Links to other knowledge resources relevant to Oxfam in Asia work.
