IMBISA Institutional Support:Empowering the Laity for effective engagement and uptake of Laudato Si. With the increase in enviromental problems, natural resource depletion that strain liveihoods, CAFOD has been supporting IMBISA to coodinate regional and international conferences, agencies and players both within the government and outside to tackle the issue of enviromental problems facing Southern Africa.In light of this Catholic Bishops of Southern Africa adopted the theme “Empowering the Laity for effective engagement in socio-political and environmental issues: Laudato Si as point of reference”; in order to promote good environmental practices in the region. After adoption of the theme during the 2016 Plenary, a survey was conducted with the aim of having a general overview of Laudato Si interventions being implemented by member conferences. One of the recommendation from the survey was the need to have a deeper understating/ reflection of the encyclical by focal persons from various Church institutions with the aim of influences policies at local and regional level.
Funding is therefore required to enable the IMBISA secretariat to effectively coordinate the Conferences so that they come up with clear action plans and a training  Manual on Laudato SI for the region. There are inconsistencies in the presentation of the encyclical  Laudato SI, developing a regional manual on Laudato Si will ensure that there is uniformity in training information on skills, processes, and other information. The manual will be used beyond this project to engage key stakeholders that include Seminary Rectors, young people and the Church with the aim of influencing policies at regional and local level. These target groups will form regional working groups that would meet from time to time to deliberate and make statements on environmental and other issues of concern. The Project goal is IMBISA becoming a prophetic voice in the promotion of care for the environment.
Humanitarian Capacity Strengthening 2021 - Caritas Gokwe The main purpose of the HCS Transition project is to enable local and national organisations such as Caritas Gokwe to improve the quality and effectiveness of their humanitarian preparedness and response capacity. This will be done through a process of capacity self-assessment and capacity strengthening action planning, Training of Trainers and cascading of learning on key emergency response and volunteer topics, and peer learning between the 10 organisations involved in the programme. CAFOD staff will provide support throughout this process.

The proposed objectives are:
•	Uphold agreed partner commitments for a further 1 year of support in Zimbabwe.  
•	Support Caritas Gokwe to continue to embed learning, policies and processes developed during PEOPLE project.
•	Capture learning on the longer-term impact of capacity strengthening support .
•	Involve Caritas Gokwe and the CS team in piloting new approaches and developing CS tools.
•	Facilitate peer exchange between HCS and CAFOD staff and partners from other countries to share expertise and promote different CS approaches.
•	Learning from the transition phase and HCS experiences to date will feed into the development of a CS strategy and approach for the international programme.
Justice for Children Trust- Putting Chldren First Legal Support (  PCF111  ) The putting children first project is being implemented in Centenary and Muzarabani Didstrict , Mabvuku, Tafara and Hopley and Hopley , Mbare and GlenNora by 3 partners, namely St Alberts Missin Hospital, Mavambo Orphan Care Trust and Mashambanzou Care Trust. Putting Children First - ( PCF111)  is a project where CAFOD and its implementing partners,  have been working to enhance child protection in the targeted areas since 2013. In spite of the many successes accomplished in the previous phases of PCF ,   access to essential child protection services in Zimbabwe remains limited  for many children, especially within the most vulnerable community groups of the six wards in Centenary /Muzarabani District, Hopley, Mbare Mabvuku , Tafara and Caledonia catchment areas of St Alberts Mission Hospital , Mashambanzou Care Trust and Mavambo Trust . The end of project evaluation of PCF2 , together with extensive internal discussions between CAFOD and its partners, highlighted that increased cross partner support and CAFOD support focusing on three main objectives which are :
1.	Improved access to and increased utilization of essential child protection services for 7,350 children and 7,650 adults through strengthened child protection structures in targeted communities of Mbare, Hopley Glen Norah, Mabvuku, Tafara, Caledonia and the 6 wards of Centenary and Muzarabani
2.	Improved knowledge, attitude and practices for 45,000 people in the selected communities of Mbare Hopley Glen Norah, Mabvuku, Tafara, Caledonia and the 6 wards of Centenary and Muzarabani on gender based violence through increased awareness.
3.	Increased income of vulnerable households through training in entrepreneurship that will result in the establishment of small businesses
This project will ensure that there is coordination and learning amongst partners and a robust monitoring of activities and impact assessment aimed at promoting a higher project effectiveness. The approach will emphasize close partner collaboration and coordination to facilitate sharing of recommendations, lessons learnt and best practices. There is also incorporated in the project the coming together of partners and their communities and beneficiaries in taking up some issues for lobbying and advocacy.
In bringing on board Justice for Children Trust, the project seeks to address the legal requirements of the children and give support to the partners in terms of advocating for changes in policies and laws in place to support and safe guard children. In addition JCT will support the children directly where there is need for legal intervention.
Management and coordination of hospital feeding in Zimbabwe CAFOD is managing a contract allowed by Caritas Germany to provide food supplies to the poor and needy people who seek medical assistance in 10 hospitals in the Archdiocese of Bulawayo and Harare. Respective CADECs will coordinate field level activities that happends at 10 hospital sites and CAFOD Harare team will assume overall responsibility to ensure timely information flow and submission of reports.

Aproportioned time is being allocated from CAFOD staff in Harare to manage this project which will reach patients who are admitted in hospitals, outpatients who are chronically ill and malnourished and hospital staff members as well as nursing students with food assistance.
CADEC Bulawayo - Livelihoods Protection and Promotion Zimbabwe To protect and promote the livelihoods of approximately 3700 of the poor and most vulnerable households (approx 18,500 people) through a combination of interventions including provision of agricultural resources, provision of water and sanitation facilities and mitigation of the impact of HIV& AIDS
Training for Transformation The Training for Transformation (TfT) for CCJPZ Coordinators and Spiritual Advisers Project seeks to enhance the capacity of Catholic church structures to provide “Civic/Public Education  on Social Teachings of the Church, Peace Building, Conflict Mitigation and Management,  Human Rights, Justice, Voting, Election Observation/Monitoring and other relevant justice and peace issues. This  follows the strategic decision by CCJPZ to adopt TfT and use it as a tool to facilitate civic education and reflection on justice and peace. In and of itself TfT is founded on the realization of the need for a new generation of leaders in development who are self-motivated and whose thinking and practice is grounded in communities’ realities. It provides teams of leaders with skills and abilities to enhance communities to actively participate in development programmes that impact their lives.  In particular, TfT is highly relevant to CCJPZ’s because of:(i) Freirean approach: The programme does not only focus on issues of social justice that CCJPZ is involved in, but it is largely Freirean because it sees the learner as an expert and the teacher as a facilitator. It is problem-posing rather than solution-teaching and it follows the energy of participants. (ii) Variety: The process draws on a variety of learning methods, theoretical inputs, large and small group discussion, creative expression such as sculpting, writing, art, movement, and simulations. It draws on real life dynamics, role plays and time for personal reflection. (iii) Learning by doing: The programme explores the development of community by creating a temporary learning community in the group itself. This affords participants a real-time experience of community building, informed by pieces of theory and opportunities to apply the workshop learning to real life. (iv) Relevance: The programme keeps the real-life struggles of creating social transformation in the room. It offers the opportunity to tease out real life situations in the group. Participants in the TfT are expected to be redeployed within various Parishes and CCJP structures to scale up civic education activities during the pre and post election period.
Improving Participation of Women and Youth in Decision Making Structures through Livelihoods Through research, Masakhaneni has identified poverty as a key driving factor of conflict and discrimination with unresolved past injustices fueling conflict as well. The lack of livelihood options has left people fighting over the little resources that are there. Divisions in the community have occurred based on religious, ethical and political inclination. The project will therefore seek to address the issues of conflict, discrimination and violence by mobilizing communities around livelihood projects.

The overall objective of the project will be to contribute to conflict transformation, gender equality and good governance through improved livelihoods. This will be done through actions that seek to improve household income, reduce the politicization of leadership structures, improve women and youth’s access to resources and increase women participation in leadership structures.

The specific objective will be to promote sustainable peace through improved participation and resilience of communities in Enyandeni Resettlement Scheme of Gwanda District.
District Lead Agency for Start Network Drought Early Action Systems – ZIMBABWE The Lead Start member Agency for each district is receiving funds from an ARC Replica pay-out or contingency fund disbursement from Start Network and would be accountable for implementing the Early Action interventions in the specific district along with their local partners (where applicable) and in complementarity with Start Network members and other humanitarian actors. Africa Risk Capacity [ARC] Replica is an insurance product offered by ARC Ltd to WFP and other humanitarian partners as an innovative approach to expand climate risk insurance coverage to more people and improve the effectiveness of emergency humanitarian response in vulnerable African countries prone to climate risks. Under the proposed START Network intervention, CAFOD based on the organizational profiles has been allocated Gokwe North & Binga districts to contribute to increasing early response capacity to drought. This proposed action from CAFOD, implemented through Caritas Hwange will ensure that affected vulnerable populations receive early support to avoid disrupting coping mechanisms, protect livelihoods, reduce the cost of the intervention and ultimately save more lives.
Integrated Community Home Based Care -St Alberts Mission Hospital St Alberts Mission Hospital is a catholic Mission Hospital based in Chinhoyi Diocese. The hospital is particularly based in a vulnerable district of Centenary. It serves as District hospital but also as a referral hospital.It is a political hot spot and home to many commercial and small scale farms.This largely rural communal farming area sees a considerable amount of movements within the District and also people from other districts in search of employment. Children get abused as farm laborers , get abused as they search for livelihoods and are married off early, women engage in risky sexual behaviors in order to get money. Clients who are ambulant forget to adher to treatment and suffer from side effects of ARVs. Some generally become defaulters.

Drought mitigation project for Gokwe, Zimbabwe Zimbabwe is currently experiencing an El Niño-stimulated dry spell, characterised by extremely hot and dry weather conditions, which have left people and livestock in the two districts in a desperate situation as relates to food security, water availability and livestock rearing.  As expected, households in regions 4 and 5 will be seriously affected by this dry spell, with the delayed rains causing a drastic reduction in area planted, while the crop that had already been planted has wilted. In Gokwe the rain season started mid-December (instead of end of October 2015) and it did not reach field capacity. While the actual reduction in area planted will be confirmed during the post planting survey planned for February 2016, it is already anticipated that there will be food shortages in Gokwe. 
This project seeks to propose a series of activities that could be implemented to strengthen household adaptation to the dry spell.
Zimbabwe Emergency Food Security Programme, CADEC Gweru A humanitarian response is being proposed in collaboration between the Catholic Church represented by Catholic Development Commission (CADEC) and CAFOD to address the critically low levels of food security for a large number of people of Zimbabwe. 

CADEC and CAFOD propose to: 

1. Scale-up and extend the existing supplementary food supply under the Livelihoods Programme (implemented in Zimbabwe since 2004 by diocesan CADECs and managed by CAFOD) in the districts of Binga, Matobo, Bulilima, Mangwe, Nyanga, and Seke to provide sufficient food per household to enable them to sustain their well-being through the following six months until the next harvest in April/May 2008. 

2. Provide food through diocesan CADECs in Gokwe and Gweru Dioceses (non-Livelihoods Programme areas) where gaps in the present national response for emergency food aid have already been identified. 

3. Provide seeds, fertiliser, associated technical support and a limited number of boreholes to the households in the areas receiving food (points 1 and 2 above).
Seke Additional Fertiliser Project - Livelihoods Promotion and Protection Zimbabwe The project aims at complimentary the Emergency Food Security programme in eight wards of Seke District in Mashonaland East Province of Zimbabwe. The EFSP will be providing food support to the beneficiaries in the selected wards of the district and this project will ensure that the households that receive food will be able to produce enough food to feed themselves in 2009.
Realising the Faith Potential This project intends to assist five Parishes from the Diocese of Chinhoyi to dialogue and communicate with their leaders as a method of negotiating for accountability, transparency and inclusiveness. The primary targets of the project would be community based justice and peace committees, traditional and political leaders. Participatory civic education – focusing on leadership skills, human rights, principles of good governance, research and advocacy and lobby – would be used as the main strategy. However, face to face meetings, public meetings and letter writing would also be used as ways of asking for accountability, transparency and inclusiveness. The program will start with a pre-implementation meeting or inception with the participating Diocese to share project information. This will be followed by Diocesan Training of Trainers where representatives from the five participating Parishes would be trained in order to share skills with others in their Parishes. Consequently, the participating communities will engage in research on pertinent governance issues and use the information to back up their advocacy positions. Finally, the program will end with a self-introspection exercise to assess the impact, best practices, challenges and lessons learnt for future programming
Match Fund 3 Participatory Budgeting Program for Caritas Hwange The advent of Match-Fund 3 has seen Caritas Hwange  adopting an issue on increasing citizen involvement in budget making processes with a view to solicit for increased state-funding for the maintenance and sustenance of water sources being rehabilitated by Match-Fund 3. MF3 sought to increase resilience from climate induced shocks and stresses with a view of increasing sustainable and climate resilient agricultural practices. 

Binga, is located in the agro-regions four and five in Zimbabwe, which are heavily characterized by low rainfall patterns and incessant droughts. It is listed as one of the poorest  and underdeveloped  communities in Zimbabwe often neglected and falling out of the priority zone at both local and central planning paradigms. Despite years of sustained state led and non-state development interventions, underdevelopment has continued unabated in Binga communities with very little imprints of positive strides ; with the later (NGOs) being the main driver of development, an indicator of [local] state neglect. 

The current development planning has been centralized albeit at local level, with authorities planning, implementing and evaluating themselves without the Involvement of the local communities in decision making; a move which has been partly attributed to the current underdevelopment  and failed state interventions. 

It is against this background that C/H wishes to implement a comprehensive Participatory Budgeting advocacy exercise. The exercise will be done in a two-pronged approach; that is capacitating the demand side of development and the supply side. The basic idea behind the demand side is to increase knowledge, awareness and skills of engaging with authorities by rights holders through participating in the budget making process and tracking it there after and evaluating it at the end of the financial year. The other side of the equation will involve training and lobbying the duty bears  to increase transparency which is seen as the avenue to accountability with the sole objective of increasing efficiency. The end game is basically to in-calculate a culture of participatory state-led development which responds to the local needs of the community including the poor, marginalized and those living with inability- in short our goal is to have development that puts the poor people first as an add on to our resilience thinking. 

With council and the local communities engaging each other, there is a sense in which possible sustainability will be reached in terms of the project objects. The initiative endeavor's that rights holders begin to use public water resources with probity based on our theory of change pinned on the thinking that when communities are engaged, they will own the agenda and pay for it hence they will not destroy-guarding against a potential tragedy of the commons.
Zimbabwe Relief and Early Recovery Programme 2010 - CAFOD Harare CAFOD Harare provides technical support to CI Implementing partners including Caritas Masvingo, Caritas Chinhoyi, Caritas Gokwe and Caritas Gweru.
