OHK Funding 25-26 Project Audit
1. Background
Oxfam operates as a confederation, which is a decentralized network of independent organizations (affiliates) working together under a shared mission and brand. It is an international confederation of 23 organizations working across 77 countries as part of a global movement to create a future free from poverty and injustice.
Oxfam operates under the “One Oxfam Model,” which defines the different roles and responsibilities of Executive Affiliates (EA), Partner Affiliates (PA), Oxfam International (OI), Regional Platforms, and country offices to strengthen coordination and collaboration across the confederation.
As part of this model, Regional Platforms have been established in different regions, including the Asia Regional Platform, to serve as hubs for strategic leadership, joint programming, advocacy, management, and accountability within the region. These platforms enable affiliates to pool resources and expertise for greater regional impact. The Regional Platform itself is not physically registered and receives business operational support from different Executive Affiliates (EAs) with an objective to bring regional platform operations under one consolidated budget, monitoring framework, and financial management system that allows effective tracking of budget against expenditure.
The role of the Regional Platform is primarily focused on strategic leadership, management, coordination, accountability, and regional impact and program implementation. Funding for the Regional Platform is generally supported through core funds and pooled funds contributed by different Partner Affiliates (PAs) and restricted grants from external donors.
** Localisation**
In Asia, the Asia Regional Platform provides strategic leadership, management, and accountability support across the region, while Oxfam GB serves as the regional business service provider for the Asia Regional Platform. Under the pooled fund mechanism, Partner Affiliates contribute annual funding allocations to support the mission and vision of the Regional Platform.
OHK is one of the Partner Affiliates contributing annual funding support to the Asia Regional Platform. As stipulated in the agreement between the Asia Regional Platform and OHK, the Asia Regional Platform intends to engage the services of an independent external audit firm to conduct the audit of OHK funding for FY 2025–2026.
