OUR Impact

OEF’s work produces real results for people living in fragile and conflictaffected environments.

A small loan may help an entrepreneur grow a business that not only generates income for her, but also provides livelihoods and economic opportunity for her community. Peacebuilding and networked coordination can increase food security for a farmer and his family and foster social cohesion that contributes to longterm stability. Enforcement of regulations and data-gathering in coastal areas reduce piracy and help fishing communities thrive.

More than ten years of experience working on the ground directly with communities has enabled OEF to create and implement programs tailored to their specific needs and opportunities.

This approach is an impact multiplier that produces outsized results for our partner communities.
