Our partners

While differences in contexts may require different approaches, Oxfam Novib strives to ensure that all its work with partners reflect these six partnership principles, and as an example, we present the list of Oxfam Novib’s policies and principles to adhere to in the execution of the Project:

• The General terms and conditions of Oxfam Novib clarify the general rights and duties of partners applicable to agreements Oxfam enters into with partners to finance a project. They apply to all our Financing Agreements with partners (FR) (PT) (NL).

If a partner organisation has its own Code of Conduct that has been assessed to be in line with Oxfam’s (no or minimal discrepancies in values, definitions, scope and acceptable behaviours) the partner can use its own Code of Conduct.
