Humanitarian Needs Assessment and Practice Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) has been working with partners in Zambia specially Caritas Zambia since several years. The Zambia Country Strategy Paper clearly spells out CAFOD’s commitment to support Caritas network in the country to become more effective in humanitarian situation. CAFOD has been supporting all major humanitarian intervention proposed by Caritas Zambia in the most recent years.  The CSP further reiterates that CAFOD will further invest to build humanitarian capacity in the country wherever find it required. 

Several provinces of Zambia have experienced severe rains early this year and there were widespread destruction in all walks of life. The government and other humanitarian agencies have rushed emergency assistance to the flood victims to the extent possible. However, even after 5 months of the floods hundreds of people have yet to return to their normal life due to various resource scarcities. The displaced households are still holding to emergency relief for their survival in several places. In order to ascertain the level of adverse impact on peoples lives due to this year’s flood in Zambia, Caritas network propose to have needs assessment training to the respective diocesan teams followed by a more comprehensive needs assessment in selected provinces. A lead facilitator will conduct the training event and take lead in the assessment and assume responsibility to provide clear recommendations to the follow up action plans. The project cost will include facilitators fees, participants cost for training, accommodation, cost for data collection and its compilation.

Roll-out of the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops National Child Protection Policy CAFOD since 2015, has been supporting the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops to develop a National Child Protection Policy that will guarantee the safety of children in the Church institutions across the country. The policy was finalised and approved by the Catholic Bishops in Zambia at the end of 2016. Following this approval, the Conference through the National Education Department now wish to publicise the important contents of the approved policy; begin to train key responsible persons and staff in the Church (Holy Childhood animators; school heads and mentors; Diocesan Pastoral and Catechetical Coordinators). It is foreseen that given the demands so far, the dissemination of this policy will further go down to the Parishes, Small Christian Communities and Families. To further help strengthen the implementation of the child protection policy, a National Child Protection Office/ Desk will be established with at least one member of staff to spearhead the implementation process.
Bringing Agenda 2030 to life: Strengthening the role of the Church and voices from the ground The project aims is to strengthen the voice of the church at national level, supporting existing national level advocacy on Agenda 2030. 
Objectives of overall work includes:
a. Strengthen national level advocacy by CAFOD partners (particularly the church) and wider coalition to support the transformational shifts of Agenda 2030, bringing voices from the ground 
b. Influence the UN guidance to states on implementing Agenda 2030 to emphasis the transformational shifts of LNOB, environmental sustainability and participation.
Accountability Partner Grant Initiative - Zambia This initiative takes forward downward accountability to communities we work with as a key component of the just one word- being CAFOD’s strategic framework. This will be achieved through engagement of CAFOD’s strategic partners in Zambia which are Caritas Zambia National Office, Caritas Lusaka, Caritas Monze and Caritas Ndola. CAFOD has had several consultations and discussions with these partners on initiating accountability in their respective projects. However, the identified partners are at different levels of accountability initiation, for example Ndola Diocese has already initiated accountability at organisational level but would need enhanced capacity and support for working with communities to ensure project effectiveness as they had not done it before in more structured and systematic way. Caritas Lusaka and Caritas Monze are still to initiate accountability at organisational and community levels. This project will build up on the current CAFOD accountability work underway in Zimbabwe. Learning from the Zimbabwe experience will influence the accountability initiative in Zambia.
Big Lottery Fund El-Nino Top-Up for Resilient Livelihood activities with Archdiocese of Lusaka Zambia is vulnerable to the effects of climate change because of its geographic exposure, low incomes and dependence on subsistence farming. Like other sub-Saharan countries, it is already suffering from the effects of climate change. There has been a decline in rainfall and as such Zambia is experiencing more frequent and intense dry spells. These trends are expected to intensify in the future with projected temperatures expected to increase by at least 2°C by 2070 (PPCR, 2014).  Analysis from the Pilot Programme for Climate Resilience (PPCR) shows that the climate change has a large impact on development in Zambia, and the climate variability includes low frequency-high impact, extreme weather events (e.g. droughts and floods) and high probability-low impact weather events (e.g. erratic rainfall, warmer days and nights). This has affected yields in most parts of the country and has seen an increase in the price of maize (staple food requirement in Zambia) and common vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and rape. According to the Central Statistics Office  the price of a 20 litre maize grain, 1 kg of Chinese cabbage and 1 kg of rape has increased by 20%, 15% and 29% respectively from May 2015 -May 2016. The increase in such essential foods has led to most community members on BLF project to have poorer nutrition which is a disadvantage on their health because they are living with HIV.
The project communities who were provided with agricultural inputs (maize seed and fertilizer) last year (2015), experienced erratic rainfall which led to late germination and therefore resulted into a poor yield in most sites. The poor yield on the project has resulted in reduced income for most of the communities because it now means that their yield will be for consumption at the household level and selling. If the yield was abundant, the communities would earn some income through selling the surplus. In addition, the poor yield also means a lack of surplus maize seed that can be shared with other communities, thereby inhibiting the scale-up of the livelihood intervention on the BLF project. In order to mitigate (both prevent and pre-empt) the impact of change in climate, several interventions are hereby proposed to create a more sustainable and resilient approach towards livelihood in the affected communities.
Livelihoods, HIV and Nutrition Project-Mbala The Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (SSHJM) Households In Distress (HID) Programme is a Faith Community Based Organisation that was established in 1991 and works in the catchment area of Mbala District in Northern Province of the Republic of Zambia. Mbala District is located at the far end of the Northern Province, about 1,067 Km from the Capital City, Lusaka, and about 168 Km from Kasama, the provincial capital of the Northern Province. It shares boundaries with the Republic of Tanzania in the North-East, Nakonde and Mungwi Districts in the East, Kasama District in the South and Mpulungu District in the West. It has access to Lake Tanganyika on the North-West.  The HID Programme works towards economic empowerment of vulnerable members of the targeted communities in order to improve their wellbeing. The Households In Distress (HID) Programme undertakes project activities that are aimed at improving the nutrition and health status of vulnerable members of the communities in Mbala District; especially People Living With HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) and Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). The HID Programme also works with other poor and marginalized groupings such as children and young adults with special needs and vulnerable adults.  The project will have the following outcomes;
• Improved food security and incomes in targeted households.
• Improved entrepreneurial skills among youths and vulnerable groups.
• Improved programme performance
Inclusion for All: Promoting economic & social rights of people with disabilities in Mbala district Around 72% of disabled people living in Zambia reside in rural areas, therefore this project will target Mbala district, a rural district located 1,067 kilometres from Lusaka in the Northern province. Among the 10 provinces in Zambia, the Northern province is the third one with the highest poverty levels, at 79.7% (LCMS, 2015). Mbala has a population of 203,129 people, with about 70% of the people living in the rural parts of the district. In spite of Mbala being one of the oldest districts in Zambia, socio-economic growth in the area remains limited, with very few development projects being implemented. CAFOD, in partnership with the Households in Distress (HID), has been working in Mbala since 2001 to support marginalized groups. HID is one of the few organisations operating in Mbala district that has been promoting and protecting rights of PWDs. In particular, HID, in 2009, established a centre for children and young adults with disabilities with a focus on providing capacity building and life skills for girls, boys and adolescents, aiming at improving their general wellbeing and helping them integrate in society. Despite having an overwhelming response from PwDs, due to resource constraints the centre currently only supports 50 children and adults. The project intends to scale up HID’s existing efforts, as well as expand the scope of their work in target communities of Mbala, with focus on the following outputs: 
Output 1: People with disabilities are actively participating in a more inclusive society in target communities in Mbala district.
Output 2: People with disabilities have increased access to healthcare and education services in target communities in Mbala district
Output 3: People with disabilities claim their rights through favourable legal and policy frameworks and improved access to legal aid services in target communities in Mbala district
Evaluation of the Archdiocese of Lusaka - Reducing Stigma, Responding to HIV project This project aimed 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.

1. Reduce stigma and discrimination against PLHIV;
2. Improve knowledge, attitudes and practices around HIV prevention;
3. Increase access to services and support;
4. Increase access to entrepreneurial training, savings and lending opportunities.
Integrated HIV and AIDS Programme IAP Ndola Diocese Integrated AIDS programme in Zambia Copperbelt has been a partner oof CAFOD on the just ended CAFOD and Comic Relief joint support. It is a home based care driven project of the Copperbelt under the Catholic Dioces of Ndola. The partner has been responding to HIV and related needs of the ailing Copperbelt, where most families were affected as both the mines closed as well as most homes losing one or all of its bread-winners. There are no jobs or if there they are on a shortterm basis. Roles have changed from men to women taking up raising the families and yet the levels of literacy were very low. This has inreased the vulnerability of women and children and mosty the girl child. The Programme is both urban and rural and even the small mining compounds like Kitwe and Luanshya.
IAP has been ther to provide with the necessary quality care and support,
Psychosocial support
Food suppliments
OVC support in terms of education.
Refferral network to other service providers but importantly the legal advice, women;s shelter and toSt Theresa Mission hospital especially as the clients discharge themselves and decide to go rural
Vulnerable children are also referred to the Children's desk or other organisations working in Ndola.
Zambia Country Strategic Plan CAFOD has a long history of supporting the Catholic Church in Zambia working with strategic partners such as Caritas Zambia, the Arch-Diocese of Lusaka, Ndola Diocese, St Francis, St. Theresa and the Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection among others. Through its partnership role, CAFOD has been working with these partners in implementing programmes in Socio-Economic Justice, Good Governance, HIV and AIDS, Livelihoods, and, Water and Sanitation, through the Southern Africa regional office in Zimbabwe. Over the years, CAFOD’s programmes in Zambia have grown in strategic relevance and importance, thereby giving rise to the importance of the Country Strategic Plan (CSP) to help formalise and shape CAFOD’s growth with its partners in Zambia. In the interim, a Position Paper which was developed in July 2014, has been guiding CAFOD’s work in Zambia, whilst a new CSP is developed. The new CSP will aim to position CAFOD in Zambia to better respond to the changes and needs in the country as well as CAFOD’s corporate givens and imperatives in line with the spirit of partnership. The process of developing and implementing a CSP will be led by the country office in Zambia, which was recently established to foster this growth.
Mbala Livelihoods Integrated HIV&AIDS Programme development The programme is building on the lessons learnt from the implementation of the Village orphan support  livelihoods and psychosocial support programme. \The Mbala evaluation of 2009 and the new programme developed then led to the need to scale up an integrrated HIV and livelihoods programme for Mbala.The will draw on its experience and linkages with other programmes in Zambia supported by CAFOD aand in the region and  increase  the understanding of the Livelihoods integrated HIV & AIDS response, and causes of poverty and injustice. Using evidence from our work on HIV and AIDS in Mbala and other partners in different regions of the country, CAFOD will support partners and communities to implement an integrated livelihoods and HIV&AIDS programme while challenging their government at provincial and national level to adopt and implement HIV & AIDS, Livelihoods and other policies that promote social justice and end poverty.

The  programme for Mbala will: 
1. Make follow ups on recommendations made through consultative meeting with partners and stakeholders in Mbala and the National Office on the nature of the programme.
2. Review and lessons learning from existing programmes and projects and take up some of the recommendations from the current partner’s evaluation conducted and scla up the programme.
3. Design and development of new programme framework for Mbala that will include activities such as:
• Capacity strengthening of partners and communities in various issues
• HIV and AIDS (prevention, mitigation, treatment, care and support)
• Advocacy
• Gender–based violence, to be addressed as it cannot be ignored within the context of Mbala - in Zambia, both from an HIV and AIDS perspective and gender equality as an issue of social justice.
• Food security – livelihoods within the context of HIV and AIDS.

While the main focus of the programme will be on Livelihoods, HIV and AIDS and socio-economic justice, the emphasis will be on:
- Capacity strengthening of communities and partners in programming as well as engaging in governance issues, budget monitoring, policy formulation and monitoring of policy implementation.
- Use experiences of partners at community level to influence policies at provincial government level.
- Capitalise on capacity available within other CAFOD partners in Zambia to support programme work in Mbala.
- Create linkages from local-provincial-national-regional levels in our work with partners
- Create opportunities for intra country as well as cross-regional learning, to maximise on capacity within partners.
