Caritas National Office Operating Costs The short- term food security project was faced with a number of challenges which delayed implementation of certain components in the first phase.  The second phase of the project aims at horticultural production and marketing, post harvest handling and technology.  There are plenty of markets for horticultural products and these vary from formal and in formal markets. The formal markets are high on the quality demand while the informal markets a high on quantity demand. Farmer still have to learn how to balance the two market so as to get optimal results from both. Farmers have had difficulty in entering the formal markets and hence the drive as Caritas enters in to this follow up phase will be on market linkages so that farmers derive the best value out of the vegetables they produce.

Caritas Zimbabwe ntional office's role will be that of coordinating and collecting stories most significant change. Caritas National Office will avail an officer to work with the implemensting partners to develop a systematic monitoring and evaluation system.
Putting Children First - Mavambo Orphan Care This project aims to improve children’s access to essential protection services in Zimbabwe. It builds on a consortium programme entitled “Putting Children First” (PCF) that CAFOD has been implementing in collaboration with 8 partners in Zimbabwe since April 2011. PCF works with community-based partners to run regular clubs/outreach services for vulnerable children and young people, and links them to technical expert partners for support with livelihoods activities, HIV counselling and trauma care, and access to legal services.  Each partner contributes a unique specialism to the network, and all are able to learn from the experiences and best practices of the members as well as refer cases to each other when necessary. 

The issues of violence against children outlined above have been emerging from all consortium partners as key problems from their respective constituencies, which they wish to tackle in more depth. On this basis, three of the PCF partners – Mavambo Trust, Mashambanzou Care Trust and St Albert’s Mission Hospital - will work with CAFOD to build upon and expand their activities to combat violence against children. A final evaluation of PCF will be conducted in July 2013 and key lessons and recommendations will be integrated into this action. The consortium members who are not partners for the purposes of this action will be engaged in order to maintain the strengths of the consortium in terms of linkages, referrals, and speaking with one voice on key advocacy issues.
Transition from emergency hospital feeding into sustainable water harvesting, sanitation and food se The overall purpose of this action is to improve the water and sanitation situation at Silveira Mission through provision of adequate water all year round at Silveira Mission Hospital as well as enhancing the food security to the most vulnerable men and women who seek hospital support. This will be achieved through rehabilitation of Silveira Mission Dam through mechanised scooping, and protecting the dam’s catchment area so that siltation is reduced. These interventions will be supported with trainings for communities and lobbying for authorities to monitor and regulate agricultural activities in the catchment area.  

The project will seek to expand on the options for supplying water to the hospital by harvesting rain water from roof run-off through installation of gutters  and construction and or procurement of water collection tanks at strategic positions for onward gravity transmission of the water to nutrition gardens. 

In addition to enhancing water supply, the project will also improve access to sanitation for staff and patients through the  repair and rehabilitation of  sanitary blocks and installation of incinerators for solid waste disposal that are women friendly in structure and design.  Participatory health and hygiene education (PHHE) sessions will be conducted at various levels including out patients who attend the opportunistic infections (OI) clinic and general clinics periodically.
As a result of this project, the following changes are expected in and around the Silveira Mission Hospital:
Access to clean water to 4136 women and 6564 men will be assured round the year
4704 women and 4341 men with access to dignified sanitation as a result of project activities
2475.men and 2285 women will receive health and hygiene training over the project life
15 health clubs will be formed in the community and 4 at schools around the mission
Development of new hospital toilets ensuring disabled access is prioritised.
Zimbabwe Emergency Food Security Programme, CADEC Gokwe 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 in 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).
Additional Support to Caritas Hwange FNI This grant is an additional to support admin costs  for Caritas Hwange under the FNI project. The grant will mainly cover Coordinator Salary and the CAFOD FNI M+E Maternity Cover
Improved Access to Water and Sanitation The project aims to improve access to water and sanitation for 4000 households in Bulilima, Mangwe and Plumtree.  These areas are currently covered by the LPPZ programme which is running but there are gaps regarding especially establishment of new water sources and coverage of urban and peri-urban households and this project will fill that gap. The project will also include the complementary activities such as sanitation, solid waste management and health and hygiene promotion as a package. Special attention will also be given to institutions such as schools and clinics.
Cyclone IDAI Emergency Response Zimbabwe has been hit by cyclone IDAI which has left atrial of massive destruction and loss life after its landfall in Mozambique on 14 March. The cyclone continued across land as a Tropical Storm and hit eastern Zimbabwe on the 15th of March with heavy rains and strong winds. The storm caused high winds and heavy precipitation in Chimanimani and Chipinge districts causing riverine and flash flooding and subsequent deaths, destruction of livelihoods and properties.

Chimanimani and Chipinge districts have been hardest-hit, with riverine and flash flooding reported. The hardest-hit district of Chimanimani remains inaccessible as heavy rains have damaged roads and main access bridges have been washed away.

The town of Chimanimani was reportedly cut off after bridges across Mvumvumvu River (Matsororo and Muusha bridges) along the Mutare-Chimanimani Highway were washed away and other sections of road were blocked by fallen trees and landslides. Power supply in many areas is affected.

At least 82 deaths and over 200 injuries have been reported, mainly in Chimanimani, and 217 people are reportedly missing. In Chimanimani alone, eight bridges have been destroyed. Crops and livestock have been destroyed in all affected areas. Overall, across all the areas affected more than 2,500 households (12,500 to 15,000 people) are estimated to be affected. However, an accurate assessment of the number of people impacted and displaced is difficult to establish at this point, as many district wards remain inaccessible.
The cyclone has been declared a National Disaster in accordance with provisions of the Civil Protection Act.
Caritas Hwange Drought Response Project [ CIEA02/2020 Extension ] CARITAS Hwange is one of the diocèses that participated in the Emergency Appeal Drought Response Project [CIEA02/2020] which ran from January through to December 2020. The selection of Hwange district to participate in the project was informed by findings from the 2019 Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) Rural Livelihoods Assessment and the CARITAS Zimbabwe National Rapid Food Security Assessment (October 2019). The 2 assessments confirmed Hwange’ s vulnerability status. 
Hwange district experienced long dry spells in December 2019 and January 2020, which was coupled with the early cessation of the rain season. This affected the crop production for the district. Household income and purchasing power had been further eroded by the poor macro-economic situation. Mid-season drought experienced in January to February 2020 resulted in more than 45% right off cereal crops especially maize (Agritex First Round crop Sample Survey report 2020). This resulted in reduction of low area planted. 
The advent of COVID-19, which led to the national lockdown from April 2020, exacerbated the situation for the rural communities in Hwange district. COVID-19 created a severe economic shock, mostly in the form of loss of income, particularly for the most vulnerable who depended on agriculture and remittances from relatives within and outside the country. 
 
CARITAS Hwange started distributing food to selected households in Nemananga ward under the EA Drought response project in April 2020 up to August 2020. The distribution ended prematurely due to shortage of funds since the appeal was not fully funded, resulting in communities slipping back to food crisis. Nemananga ward is one of the wards near the Victoria Falls. The ward experienced an influx of people who relocated from Victoria Falls as a result of lock down induced retrenchments, especially those under the tourism sector. The targeted area therefore remains food insecure and in need of assistance.
Zimbabwe START Ready Drought - Binga (CAFOD Operational Costs ) .Zimbabwe is prone to hazards including extreme weather events such as droughts. Drought is the common hazard that affect a large population of Zimbabwean resulting in widespread food insecurity, loss of livelihoods assets and other negative social impacts. Currently Zimbabwe is experiencing a drought. Through funding from START Ready, to respond to the effects of drought,Caritas Hwange will target the most vulnerable households in Binga District through food distributions. This intervention will ensure that the affected population will receive early support to avoid disrupting copying mechanisms, protect livelihoods, reduce the cost of the intervention and ultimately save more lives.

Caritas Hwange will reach out to targeted 467 households (2333 individuals) per month with three food distribution cycles, over a three months period.The food basket will comprise of Cereals (10 kgs), pulses (1.5 kgs) and vegetable oil (0.7 kgs) per individual. Food ration sizes were calculated to meet the daily individual calorie requirement of 2100 kj. Food distribution was selected as the aid transfer option/method since markets are not functioning in the targeted areas hence other options such as cash and voucher transfers could not be taken on board.
Caritas Bulawayo- Livelihoods Protection and Promotion Programme (Year 4) Background Information 

Caritas Zimbabwe Bulawayo is one of the partners of CAFOD that has been implementing the Livelihoods Protection and Promotion Programme (LPPZ) under the PRP2 arrangement in Matabeleland South Province of Zimbabwe and specifically in Bulilima and Mangwe Districts. The livelihoods protection and promotion programme that started in 2008 in the four (4) target wards of operation, embraced water and sanitation activities that included rehabilitation of boreholes, sand abstraction installation for garden watering, construction of latrines for the vulnerable groups and capacity building of communities on participatory health and hygiene education.

Election Observation and Civic Education in Zimbabwe This project has two phases. The first phase focused on July 31, 2013 harmonised elections in Zimbabwe. The second phase is concentrating on civic education up to December 2014. This initial phase has already been completed and now the focus is on civic education. The idea is to utilise the opportunities presented by the coming of the new constitution to then raise awareness amongst citizens so that people begin to engage relevant stakeholders so as to realise their rights enshrined in the new constitution. The project will be implemented in all the eight dioceses of the Catholic church in Zimbabwe through the CCJP strictures.
Church-led Peace initiatives in Zimbabwe CCJPZ propose to embark on a project to respond to the emerging political motivated violence cases. This project is a continuation to the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) supported pre-election project titled: Promoting the Ecumenical Voice for Credible, Free and Fair Elections in Zimbabwe. In the proposed project CCJPZ will put more emphasis on promoting social inclusion, gender justice issues and ensure the active participation of women and youth in peaceful and non-violent elections. This project will focus on disseminating peace messages, commitments through signing peace pledges and engaging relevant key stakeholders to promote peace, tolerance and non-violence before, during and after the 2023 Harmonised Elections. CCJPZ aims to create a more secure environment for communities and their leaders to engage freely in political processes and to contribute to a more democratic system of governance in Zimbabwe. CCJPZ in this project seeks to build the resilience of individuals who have experienced intimidation and violence through situational monitoring, dialogue with community members, policy dialogue, and legal through the CPLO and psychosocial support services. CCJPs in dioceses have a track record of engaging communities and local stakeholders in peaceful conflict mitigation and resolution initiatives. CCJPZ community activities are aimed at reducing potential triggers of conflict, promoting tolerance and non-violent participation in electoral processes. This will be achieved through community and national level commitments to peace by different stakeholder.
