OXFAM: who are we?

Oxfam is a leading aid, development and campaigning not-for-profit organisation
with a world-wide reputation for excellence and over 60 years’ experience

and find lasting solutions to poverty.

Currently we are looking for Consultant
for documenting and analysing land conflict cases

Background
Oxfam in Indonesia has been implementing
a project since 2014 named “Securing land rights of local communities
and setting the agenda for decent work in the palm oil sector”. The overall
objective of this project is to contribute to securing land rights and
labour rights of Indonesian communities affected by the palm oil sector.
Over the years the expansion of palm oil plantations in Indonesia has gone
hand in hand with land grabbing from local (indigenous) communities resulting
in over 3,500 conflicts   of which the majority remains without remedy.
The loss of land has lead to both economic and social problems for (indigenous)
communities leading to decreased food security, lower income and social
destabilisation. Women’s land rights are hardly taken into account. Many
community members who lost their lands to palm oil plantations had no other
choice than to become labourers on the palm oil plantations, working under
poor labour conditions, often severely marginalising their socio-economic
position. Amongst others, palm oil labourers experience that their rights
to organise are hindered by companies, they face poor safety and health
conditions especially for women, low payments (below minimum wage) and
inequality of payments between men and women.

One of crucial activity within the project
is to analyse and document 5 land rights conflict cases and formulate recommendations
to access remedy at national and/or international level. At the beginning,
the activity should be conducted by partner by mid project year. However,
due to any potential more delay implementation, Oxfam in Indonesia initiated
to take over the activity by hiring consultant(s) to achieve this target.

The consultant recruitment aim is to
get good documentation for learning from project implementation with regard
land conflict cases advocacy.
