Yes. As you know, Oxfam works in about 90 countries. There was just a meeting of the executive directors of the Oxfam affiliates, of which there are 17 now, in Australia. They came out strongly in favour of resourcing for knowledge. Knowledge sharing and knowledge creation in Oxfam are really important roles because we have a privileged position. In any one country, like Tanzania, Oxfam is there working on lots of different kinds of projects but with all kinds of partners. There are lots of different definitions for the word “partner”, but definitely we work with civil society organizations of all kinds. We are working closely with government ministries, with the private sector, with academics. In any one country, there's always a great network.
I'll just give a quick example of how we even reach out across countries. I have the pleasure to lead what we'll call a knowledge hub on violence against women. We're leading it right here from Ottawa, in collaboration with Oxfam-Québec, of course, in Montreal. It turns out that over 40 countries in which Oxfam works have very well-regarded programs on violence against women. We serve as a hub joining up the knowledge and information that our colleagues are gathering on the issue in terms of the programs they're doing.
I'll end there, because I know there are a lot of different questions out there.
But having worked in the field myself, and in quite a number of countries, I know that the people who are working on the ground, i.e., my colleagues there, and the partners and so on, are very smart people, very dedicated people. They're dans le feu de l'action, in the fire of the action. They're thinking and adapting every day, really, in terms of the objectives they're trying to achieve. They don't have a lot of time to write things down, to do the webinar, to explain, to capture that learning. Part of our job is to help draw that out, share it, translate it. We have a huge duty, we feel, to translate things into English, French, Spanish. We're looking at other languages as well so that we can unlock the learning that's going on in those different places.
