In Nigeria Oxfam works in the areas of Economic Justice/Livelihood, Basic Social Services, Humanitarian programming, Gender Justice / Female Leadership and Good governance, adopting a rights based approach. The International Centre for Energy, Environment & Development (ICEED) is a Nigerian think tank focused on addressing climate change and promoting clean energy through policy research, advocacy and communication on the low carbon economy. Oxfam and ICEED, with funding support from the European Union and the National Planning Commission (NPC) as the contracting authority, are collaborating in the implementation of a four year project on renewable energy production, including Agro-forestry. The project is aimed at sustainably improving the fuel-wood balance and resilience of livelihoods of rural households in 7 LGAs in Katsina state by increasing wood supply through farmer managed natural regeneration whilst reducing fuel wood demand through dissemination and use of fire wood efficient stoves. While Oxfam is responsible for the delivery of the Agro-forestry component, ICEED is charged with managing that of the efficient cookstoves, with the two organizations working in close collaboration.Research, Policy and Advocacy CoordinatorDivison/Department/Location:: International Division/ West Africa/AbujaJOB FAMILY: Advocacy and Campaigns,SALARY: Based on the National Salary Scale of Nigeria Country OfficeLEVEL: C2 (National), Fixed Term 1 yearOXFAM PURPOSE: To work with others to find lasting solutions to poverty and sufferingTEAM PURPOSE:The Nigeria Country Team works on programs focussed on economic justice, gender justice, humanitarian and good governance.
