N'zi-Hassane became Africa Director of Oxfam International in October 2022.[2] In September 2024 she called for reform of the UN Security Council, to reflect the needs of African countries:
The UN Security Council was built in a bygone colonial time and is marred by deep inequalities that does not reflect the realities of today. Despite bearing the brunt of both climate change and ongoing conflicts, Africa's voice remains muted in the corridors of global power. This has robbed Africa of opportunities for peace and sustainable development.[3]
