Reducing Stigma; Responding to HIV In Zambia HIV and AIDS continues to be the major developmental challenge, with approximately 1 million people infected. Lusaka has a prevalence rate of approximately 22%, contributing to the national prevalence which still remains at above 20% and making Zambia one of the countries in Southern Africa hardest hit by HIV and AIDS.
This project, Reducing stigma, responding to HIV, aims to mitigate the impact of HIV by improving the quality of life of People Living with HIV and reducing vulnerability to new HIV infections in urban, peri-urban and rural Lusaka Province and the Central Province of Zambia. This project is holistic in addressing the major HIV challenges as highlighted by the communities within the Archdiocese of Lusaka, which include stigma. 
 The four specific areas of action – reflected in the four outcomes - are:
1.	Stigma and discrimination against PLHIV is measurably reduced, leading to increased health-seeking behavior
2.	Improved knowledge, attitudes and practices around HIV prevention, leading to a reduction in higher-risk behaviors and reduced vulnerability to new infections and re-infections
3.	An increased number of PLHIV access services and support, enabling them to live healthier and more productive lives
4.	People living with and affected by HIV benefit from access to entrepreneurial training, savings and lending opportunities, resulting in improved household food security and income
The implementing partner of this project is Archdiocese of Lusaka with technical support from Network of People Living with HIV in Zambia and St Theresa Ibenga for over a period of 3 years. CAFOD will oversee the smooth running of the project with funding from the Big Lottery Fund of the UK State lotteries.

Southern Province Drought Response Project During the 2018/2019 crop production season, the Southern region of Zambia experienced the effects of one of its worst droughts in decades. Southern Province, which was the worst affected, had late rainfall which came in mid-December 2018 instead of either late October or early November and experienced prolonged dry spells between January and March, 2019. As a result, overall crop production declined. Based on a Rapid Assessment of Crop Conditions after Prolonged Dry Spells in Selected Districts, the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit in Zambia indicated that crop condition for the assessed districts in Southern province was deemed to be poor and estimated that over 80% of the crops was affected in the Province. Based on a similar assessment undertaken by Caritas Monze in April 2019, data collected shows that 72% (estimated 83,654) households in the operational areas of the Diocese of Monze, had complete maize crop failure despite having cultivated and planted fields averaging 3 hectares per household. 

Due to recurrent droughts prone in Southern Province which has led to a cumulative impact of declining crop production particularly from the 2016/17 and 2017/18 farming season, most of the households have depleted their livelihood asset base to secure food consumption. The proposed response therefore aims to contribute to the overall efforts to support the most affected households in Pemba, Namwala and Gwembe Districts of Southern province in recovering from the adverse effects of the drought through the provision of life-saving food assistance and access to safe water that could cover their early recovery needs. The response will complement some of the existing government responses, such as maize distribution, which has been assessed to cover less than half of the population of the target communities impacted by the drought.
Diocese on Monze capacity strengthening and closeout project The Diocese of Monze has been CAFOD’s partner since 1992 and during this time both organisations have implemented WASH, resilience livelihood and humanitarian projects. This partnership will be coming to an end and as part of this process, CAFOD plans to support SSHJM -HID programme with capacity strengthening activities as part of the exit process in focus areas including strategic planning and financial management.

Résilience socio-écologique des mangroves Les communautés tributaires des écosystèmes de mangroves améliorent leur bien-être et contribuent à la préservation de leur milieu. Cet outcome commun est lié au CSC thématique Résilience (dont les cibles inspirent les résultats) et y contribuera. Il amplifie le projet Expertise Universitaire Mangroves (EU-M, https://mangroves.network/) mis en œuvre par Uni4Coop en 2018-19. 
Le chemin de changement vise la résilience socio-écologique, soit, l’amélioration du bien-être des communautés vivant des écosystèmes de mangroves et la préservation de leur milieu. Ceci avec quatre acteurs de changement : les organisations de la société civile, les Comités de gestion communautaire, les autorités et organismes publics et, finalement, des académiques partenaires.
La stratégie d’intervention repose sur l’amélioration de la gouvernance en faveur des mangroves (R1) et de la sensibilisation, des connaissances et des compétences concernant ces espaces naturels (R2), le renforcement de l'accès durable, de la gestion et utilisation des services écosystémiques (R3), la conservation et/ou restauration du milieu (R4) et, finalement, la consolidation des capacités des 12 partenaires (R5).
L’outcome se déroulera principalement au Bénin, en Guinée, à Madagascar et au Sénégal mais ses résultats bénéficieront à d’autres zones de mangroves, en particulier en Afrique de l’Ouest, grâce au Réseau d’Aires Marine Protégées d’Afrique de l’Ouest-RAMPAO et à deux réseaux d’OSC partenaires, le Collectif 5 Deltas (Gambie, Guinée, Guinée Bissau, Mauritanie et Sénégal) et le Collectif des deltas du Golfe du Bénin (Bénin, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria et Togo). 
La consolidation et diffusion des résultats de cet outcome seront soutenues par l’outcome commun GIdS d’Uni4Coop et divers académiques du nord et du sud, l’outcome ambitionnant en particulier de développer, d’une part, une capacité d’anticipation des effets des changements climatiques sur les littoraux et aires marines protégées et, d’autre part, une méthode de mesure de la résilience socio-écologique des habitants et habitats de l’écosystème des mangroves. - Population : 1.778.585 personnes

Civil society capacity building in Northern Kosovo via Slovak Balkan Public Policy Fund Main objectives of the program are creation of a functioning network between Northern Kosovo municipalities, state institutions, donors and civil society, and activization of the donor community in the Northern Kosovo context of specific civil society issues. The project aims at intensifying cooperation with civil society in the Northern Kosovo municipalities based on previous experience of the Slovak Balkan Public Policy Fund. The program implies assignment of six small grants for local projects, conduction of trainings for local activists (both individuals and local NGOs). An important part of the program are study visits to Slovakia for some of the participants to further strengthen the cooperation and to enhance more effective share of Slovak experience in building active civil society.
