It was the first missionary experience of the organization.
Oxfam perspectives are to focus both internally and externally. When talking about external factors and looking at their generic strategies, it is hard to identify it clearly.

"The organization focuses on areas such as climate change, education, health care, gender and race, sustainable livelihood, and protection from violence and disasters. Oxfam receives funds from donors and the sale of second-hand items at its Oxfam shops."
From above we see that they try to manage different issues that arises in our todays world. They got themselves into different niches and try to stay on top of them. Which is probably the best way in this
