Gokwe Water Security- WinS Top-Up In 2020-21 in Gokwe North and Gokwe South districts of Midlands Province, UNICEF implemented a WinS programme in 69 school with objective of contributing to improving learning outcomes through provision of safe and suitable WASH to learners and teachers. Quality issues were found in 59 of the 69 schools upon completion of the works. This left outstanding works in 59 schools as well as overall concerns about district authority engagement, ownership and oversight. As such CAFOD will ensure all works in the 59 schools  
are completed to agreed standards. Further, CAFOD will 1) strengthen engagement and 
capacity of the district authorities, namely District Education Officer, District Education 
Inspector and the District Water and Sanitation Sub-Committee members and 2) periodically 
visit the 69 schools and ensure adequate feedback is obtained to ensure no further 
repercussions are found due to inadequate quality control in the 2020-21 program.
Additionally, 20 new schools will be improved under this PD. In partnership with UNICEF, 
CAFOD will rehabilitate water supplies, construct group hand washing facilities and latrines, 
revive the school health clubs and build capacity for the operation and maintenance of the 
provided infrastructure. This will bring the total to 79 schools that will be implemented by 
CAFOD in the two districts, Gokwe North and South. 
Against this background, CAFOD is committing to completing the remaining infrastructure 
works at the 59 schools and implement the full package of WinS in 20 additional schools. 
Technical assessments and mapping institutional responsibilities will be initial steps towards 
addressing identified WinS challenges specific to each school.
Gokwe Water Security for Dignity Heavy rain brought about flooding to most parts of the country in 2022. Midlands province was one of the most affected parts of the country. Chirape, Chiwashira and Vimbe dams in Gokwe North districts are among the lot of affected infrastructure in the province. The dam spillways were heavily eroded resulting in risk of breaching. The project will rehabilitate the dam spillways and 3 solar piped water schemes in order to restore the source of livelihoods for communities through fishing and water supply for multiple uses. In addition the project will assist Nembudziya government school with 10 squat hole latrines, handwashing facilities and hygiene laboratory equipment in response to their request which they submitted to Caritas Gokwe.
PROVISION OF EMERGENCY SHELTER AND NON-FOOD ITEMS TO VULNERABLE HOUSEHOLDS IN THE CYCLONE-AFFECTED C Tropical Cyclone Idai made landfall in Zimbabwe, on the 15 of March 2019. From the 29th of March to the 7th of April 2019 IOM, in close coordination with the Government of Zimbabwe, UN Women and CAFOD-Caritas Zimbabwe conducted baseline assessments in Chimanimani, Chipinge, Mutare and Buhera districts. A total of 131,650 people and 32,520 people were affected by the Cyclone in Chimanimani and Buhera districts respectively. A total of 59,125 IDPs (12,249 households) were reported across the 4 affected districts.  The largest number of IDPs have been identified in Chipinge (36,347 IDPs), followed by Chimanimani (14,016 IDPs), Buhera (4,469 IDPs) and Mutare (4,293 IDPs). Chimanimani is the district that is worst affected by the cyclone. To this end, the Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI) cluster is complimenting Government of Zimbabwe’s efforts in responding to the disaster through coordination of rapid needs assessments, evacuations, distribution of emergency aid (shelter family tents and NFIs ) to the affected communities of Manicaland (Chimanimani, Chipinge, Mutare and Buhera) and Masvingo (Gutu, Bikita and Zaka).
Trocaire START Fund ( Civil Unrest Response ) This project responds to the Zimbabwe Civil unrest in Zimbabwe which was as a result of a fuel price increase of over 150% announced on January 12th. Responding to the immediate increase, the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Union (ZCTU) and several civil society organisations called for a total national shutdown which people took heed of. All services were shut off and in order to control social media interactions which were regarded as the main medium of calling for the shutdown, there was total internet shutdown by the Government of Zimbabwe. While it is a constitutional right to demonstrate in a peaceful way, the demonstrations turned violent with barricades, roadblocks, and looting. In response, police and military moved to break up the demonstrations employing disproportionate physical force, followed by a campaign of house to house searches. As part of the searches, indiscriminate and targeted assaults and arrests have been widely reported. There are many reports of temporary displacement as residents fled or sought to hide. Numbers are likely to significantly exceed documented cases. For example, the Zimbabwe Council of Churches (ZCC) and Catholic Commission of Justice and Peace (CCJP), both with a national reach in the country’s 10 provinces and with direct contact with the affected, confirmed 600 people have been affected by violent assaults (including rape which is presumed to be under reported given anecdotal accounts). Many of those detained were denied access to medical treatment. Medical facilities were overwhelmed in the immediate aftermath and only those with the worst wounds were treated. As a result, many who are in urgent need of medical care, remain without it.
Development of an Emergency Preparedness Plan Zimbabwe is facing an unprecedented increase in climate change induced and man-made natural disasters that have seen an increase in the intensity and frequency of floods, droughts, livestock, zoonotic and other diseases such as cholera. Currently, Zimbabwe is anticipating an El’Nino which is associated with reduced rainfall and prolonged dry spells, leading to drought conditions in certain regions. Food security may be compromised because of reduced agricultural production, leading to increased vulnerability among rural communities. Early preparedness measures can help reduce the severity of the impacts and enhance the resilience of communities and key sectors. In the face of such a barrage of disasters, knowing which disaster to anticipate, which one to respond to where, and what preparedness measures to put in place becomes critical. This project is thus seeking to support communities, government stakeholders and partners to develop a pilot simple but robust system of well-known indicators, thresholds, and triggers for response to disasters commonly experienced in selected districts. This innovative approach will strengthen CAFOD Zimbabwe’s Anticipatory action work, making it easier to prepare for and respond to emergencies. The project will integrate different gender perspectives to ensure that the needs and vulnerabilities of all genders are adequately addressed, promoting inclusivity and resilience within the Zimbabwean context. It will ensure the meaningful participation and representation of women and girls in the planning, implementation, and decision-making processes of the emergency preparedness plan. It will also foster partnerships and collaboration with local women's organizations, gender-focused NGOs, and community-based groups to ensure the effective implementation of gender-responsive actions.
BNB and Social Accountability Project This project aims to train the community members as well as duty bearers in the use of the Social and Public Accountability Score Card as a tool for data gathering as well as monitoring and evaluating the performance in the service delivery sector, in Zimbabwe.

The project will strengthen the capacity of CSOs and ordinary citizens to demand accountability from service providers and duty bearers and facilitate interaction between government, public service providers and CSOs. It will do this through: 
 • providing up-to-date, reliable and verifiable information on the poverty situation in rural and urban areas of Zimbabwe;
• strengthening the capacity of civil society organizations and residents associations 
• strengthening existing dialogue mechanisms among residents, state and non-state actors at local level
Humanitarian Capacity Development Programme - Caritas  Zimbabwe National Office Humanitarian capacity development is not a one off training or programme of capacity building activities, it is an approach, designed to effect sustainable organisational change over a longer period of time. The approach has the following characteristics:

Understanding of Humanitarian Capacity : A holistic understanding of humanitarian capacity, this captures leadership, programme skills and knowledge and systems and support sectors.

Organisational commitment and ownership: The programme works with organisation’s who are committed to strengthening their emergency capacity as only the organisation can change itself. Required is commitment from and involvement with the highest levels of leadership such as the Bishop or Board. The organisation must be open to reflecting on their strengths and weaknesses and creating space for organisational change.

CAFOD’s role :A Humanitarian capacity development officer will work closely with Caritas Zimbabwe National Office. The HCD Officer will support the organisations to identify and prioritise their capacity development needs in relation to their emergency context and their existing capacities. The HCD Officer will support the partner to identify their priorities, to inspire, motivate, advise and encourage them to create the change. 

Capacity Development Journey :The capacity development journey is characterised by trust, collaboration, self-reflection and peer support. The path Caritas Zimbabwe National Office takes will have 5 key stages.

Variety of Methods: Encouraged is for Caritas Zimbabwe National Office to look beyond training to ensure learning is incorporated into their organisation’s culture and systems. The methods include accompaniment, peer support, self-assessment, strategy, policy and systems development, emergency simulations and on the job training.
Caritas Gokwe Humanitarian Capacity Strengthening Project Phase 2 (April 2016 - March 2018) The quality and speed of CAFOD’s humanitarian work depends on the strength of its partners. The management of large-scale emergency programmes by these local organisations place a great strain on their staff and systems. There is therefore need for much greater investment to develop and reinforce permanent local capacity to prepare for and respond to emergencies. The aim of the Humanitarian Capacity Strengthening Programme is for Caritas Gokwe to be able to prepare, plan and deliver effective humanitarian programmes

Humanitarian capacity strengthening is not a one off training or programme of capacity strengthening activities, it is an approach, designed to effect sustainable organisational change over a longer period of time.

The capacity strengthening approach that will be used is rooted in CAFODs niche of partnership. This is rooted in local ownership, choice and commitment (by the partner). The project aims at facilitating, empowering and enabling hence desisting from imposition or partner manipulation. It will not try to substitute the work of CAFOD’s partners, or undermine their roles and responsibilities.
Improved access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for disadvantaged communities in the Democratic Rep The project aims to increase sustainable access to improved  water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) facilities for 334,000 (F 174,400; M159,600) beneficiaries in rural disadvantaged communities in the DRC, Zimbabwe and Uganda. We will directly provide WASH services alongside investing in social mobilisation of communities to influence local government authorities on policy implementation, and strengthen water user groups to adopt correct use and maintenance of water points.
Water quality testing training for Ministry of Health staff and partner project Officers in Binga. Binga District, with a population of over 130,000 people has one of the highest rankings for prevalence of diarrhoea among under-fives. Incidences of WASH related diseases have been on the increase in the district. The district water supply coverage is low, less than 60% of the population having access to safe water. Others rely on seasonal shallow wells or water from the nearby river or ponds. 
Numerous Water, Sanitation and Hygiene promotion projects have been implemented in Binga area under the Diocese of Hwange through Support from CAFOD.Currently there is an ongoing Match Fund Water Supply project in Binga which is supposed to ease the water situation in the targeted wards. Improvement of access to water supply is one of the key components of this project.  However it is not just the quantity of the water supplied but the quality. It is a basic requirement that water be tested for quality before use. This is currently the challenge in Binga area as the Environmental health staff, who are responsible for water quality testing, are not well equipped on water quality testing. In addition,partner project Officers have also not received any form of training on water quality testing hence the need to include them during this particular training.

The project aims to equip the Ministry Of health and Child Welfare Environmental Health Staff and partner Project Officers with water quality testing skills.
Specific Objectives
.To train 23 Environmental Health Technicians and 3 project staff on water quality testing
.To set up a water quality surveillance programme in Binga district
.To procure water quality testing consumables and equipment
Peace Promotion Messaging before, during and after Zimbabwe’s harmonized 2023 elections. Social Communications is a church media house whose role is to educate, inform and evangelize through different media platforms. Social Communications is at the centre in terms of communicating socio-political and economic issues that affect people. Promotion of peace is one aspect that is associated with SOCCOM as the Commission works to conscientise people on the need for peace at all levels and in all structures of society. With increasing turmoil as a result of political, economic and social conflict, rampant murders, domestic violence, suicides, abuse of children and vulnerable adults, SOCCOM is compelled by its mandate to engage society in peace and dialogue. Without peace, there is no political and economic development and there is no social cohesion. It is important that all people embrace peace at all levels of political, economic and social life.

Expected outcome and how the knowledge can be used:
1.	Improved promotion of peace by SOCCOM through use of locally available media/printed copies. 
2.	Increased contribution to reduction of hate speech in communities leading to hope, peace, reconciliation and unity.
3.	Increased use of use media platforms like text messages, whatsapp, Facebook, bulletins and pamphlets to address injustices that affect their communities. 
4.	Improved media presence at all levels of the communities so as to uphold peace and justice.
5.	Improved accessibility to peace messages instruments like pamphlets, social media pages and fliers to enhance public sharing of information by the public.
6.	Increased promotion and community awareness towards the need for peace.

ZHOCD Faith and Future Forum The Faith and Future Forum is a high level, informal, non-binding and voluntary Forum created by the Zimbabwe Heads of Christian Denominations to systematically bring together multi-stakeholders in Zimbabwe’s development arena to collectively address common interest challenges in a practical and action oriented manner. Its title draws from the realization that the faith values of the church and the overwhelming majority of Zimbabweans are an important meeting point to rally key stakeholders together in order to pursue a better future for Zimbabwe. By and large the Forum is a riposte to the combustible polarization in Zimbabwe’s political economy which has served to diminish joint problem solving and collective action. Notably, the Faith and Future Forum reflects the progressive realization that constructive engagement based on mutual trust and the recognition of aligned interests across sectors is more beneficial compared to the adversarial forms of engagement that have become the norm over the past decade. This position is widely echoed by the International community as evidenced by the resumption of diplomatic ties with the Zimbabwe Government after years of isolation. However there is lacking a consistent Forum to bring to the table other stakeholders such as Civil Society, Private Sector, Constitutional Commissions and Political Parties to deliberate on issues of societal importance unimpeded by political polarization. The Zimbabwe Heads of Christian Denominations as an objective, non-partisan and respectable arbiter is well positioned to systematically bring together the multiple stakeholders in Zimbabwe’s development sphere and help scale up the realization of the benefits of collaborative action.
Sustained Access to Safe Water and Sanitation for Rural Communities in Rushinga -Phase2 The project aims to increase equitable and sustainable access and use of safe water and sanitation facilities for 4,161 marginalized people in rural communities of Rushinga District by 2024. The intervention will result in 4,161 people in remote, socially, economically and environmentally marginalized rural area of Rushinga district, having year-round access to safe water supplies and improved sanitation for most vulnerable children at 2 schools. Within vulnerable groups, women will benefit the most, reducing time invested in fetching water, mitigating safeguarding risks associated with the task, improving overall health and hygiene, and reducing intra-household conflict linked with scarcity of water.
St Alberts Mission Hospital: Holistic HIV and AIDS Response in Centenary District St Albert’s Mission Hospital as the District hospital has the role to maximise the dissemination of information and provision of services as well as advocating for policies towards extermination of the transmission of HIV/AIDS. This project aims at improving the  quality of life of people living with disability, young women and those affected by HIV, and reduce vulnerability to new incidences of HIV in rural areas of Centenary District of Mashonaland Central, Chinhoyi Diocese, Zimbabwe by 2020
Expected project Outcomes
1. Reduction of Stigma and discrimination against people living with disability, PLWHIV, leading to increased health-seeking behaviour.
2. Improved knowledge, attitudes and practices around HIV prevention, leading to a reduction in higher-risk behaviours and reduced vulnerability to new infections
3. An increased number of PLHIV access services and support, enabling them to live healthier and more productive lives
4. Capacity building of the district, ward and village community systems to identify and address barriers and hindrances in accessing PMTCT services
St Alberts has seen at the Shelter and in the surrounding communities early indulgence in sexual activities and this has been noted as one of the causes of HIV transmission (WHO, 2007). According to the DHS (2010-11), 24% of young women age 15-19 have already begun child bearing where 19% of them are mothers and an additional 15% are pregnant with their first child. At this this age these young women have limited capacity to negotiate for safer sex hence the high risk of HIV vulnerability, resulting in the incidence of new HIV infections in the District.
