Nairobi, Nairobi Area, Kenya Oxfam Full time

In Kenya, Oxfam works with others to alleviate poverty and inequality. We focus on the most vulnerable communities in the dry and remote northern regions, and in the impoverished slums of the capital, Nairobi.

Oxfam's highest poverty levels are in the northern pastoralist districts - in some areas, 95% of people fall below the poverty line. We are committed to supporting these communities and addressing the root causes of poverty and inequality.

  • Evaluate how gender roles influence the distribution of care work during crises and the ways in which climate change and conflict exacerbates these roles.
