In the process, ZIMCODD will provide platforms where citizens lobby and advocate for people centred socio-economic policies and strategies. The project is targeting solution holders including the Office of the President and Cabinet, Parliament of Zimbabwe, Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning; Zimbabwe Aid and Debt Management Office (ZADMO); Ministry of Industry and Commerce; Ministry of Lands, Agriculture and Rural Settlement; Ministry of Mines and Mining Development; Zimbabwe Investment Authority (ZIA); Zimbabwe Anti Corruption Commission (ZACC), Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ); International Monetary Fund (IMF) World Bank (WB); and other relevant public and private stakeholders.
Sustained Access to Safe Water and Sanitation for Rural Communities in Rushinga 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 CHBC- Vehicle St Alberts is implementing the Putting Children First project in Muzarabani District. In order for the project to realise greater impact the partner requires a vehicle that is in good condition for its monitoring of activities. This grant approval therefore is to aid St Alberts (ZIM611) effective implementation.
St Alberts Mission Hospital-  Putting Children First-Three ( PCF111) Putting Children First - 3 is a project where CAFOD and its implementing partners, , St Albert's, Mashambanzou and Mavambo  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.

ZWP-Livelihoods Protection and Promotion Programme (Year 4) Problem Statement
People living in Southern Zimbabwe have multi faceted problems that revolve around the poor geographical location, incessant droughts, post hyperinflation and HIV and AIDS. These problems affect various socio-economic groups in varying degrees. In addition there is a high rate of unemployment (especially amongst youths), economic insecurity as well as other natural hazards affecting their survival and inequality of life. HIV and AIDS also worsens Chivi rural people through high mortality rate resulting in increase of OVC. To improve food security, economic security and livelihoods of farmers and their families (youths and young couples, under fives, elderly, chronically ill) in the four wards Zvishavane Water Project proposes to support the CBP process. 
Objectives
To improve food security and livelihoods of communities in Chivi District.

Specific objectives
1. To promote sustainable food and income security strategies for the vulnerable groups in the four wards of Chivi District.
2. To improve access to water and sanitation facilities and promote adoption of health and hygiene practices in the four wards of Chivi District.
3. To protect the livelihoods of marginalized, vulnerable and rural poor people and create an enabling environment for them to access their social and economic rights.
4. To strengthen the community and local authority’s ability to develop and manage their own development process
Caritas Zimbabwe 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. 

To respond to this , Caritas Zimbabwe will offer psychosocial support to those that have been affected. The support will also extend to Prisons where they will provide food and hygiene kits to those that are detained in remand.
Sanitation for Success: comphensive sanitation programme for urban and peri-urban areas Overall objective: to contribute to progress towards the Millennium Development Goal 7 of halving the proportion of people without sustainable access to basic sanitation in Zimbabwe. Specific objective: to sustainably improve living conditions, health, human dignity, economic productivity and the environment in poor urban and peri-urban areas of Nyanga and Murehwa, Zimbabwe, through an integrated approach to sanitation

At the highest level, this will lead to significant and sustainable improvements in health, living conditions and economic opportunities, particularly for the poorest people in Zimbabwe. The MDGs are closely inter-linked and progress in Goal 7 towards achieving improved access to water and sanitation will have an impact on the realisation of many others. For example, increased access to sanitation will reduce the incidence of water-borne diseases, therefore contributing to the achievement of Goals 4, 5 and 6 related to mortality and disease. Similarly, access to basic sanitation in institutions such as schools is likely to increase children’s attendance and performance, contributing to MDG 2 on education. Improvements in the physical environment which will be brought about by integrated and sustainable approaches to sanitation, will contribute to MDG 7 on environmental sustainability.

Joint working with the local councils, District Water Sanitation Sub-Committees (DWSSC) and community-level structures including user groups and Health and Hygiene Clubs in the two project areas of Nyanga and Murewa is fundamental to this action. This is to ensure firstly that interventions are appropriately designed and carried out, harnessing local knowledge to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the outcomes. Secondly, the active involvement of existing structures will ensure local ownership and buy-in, thereby significantly increasing the likelihood of continued sustainable impact beyond the end of the project period. Finally, the model of joint working offers a real opportunity for CAFOD and its project partners to support capacity building in terms of skills, knowledge and technical and management expertise in the sanitation sector, from community to local authority level. This will ensure sustainable impact not only of this particular project, but of other interventions in the project area and beyond, which will be influenced by the training, on the job accompaniment, and material support provided through this action.
Caritas Harare Bridging Fund The proposed project aims at strengthening and sustaining the results achieved under the three year Sanitation for Success project implemented in Murehwa District.  The project will focus on waste management, recycling which holds a direct link to the second result area of a cleaner, safer more functional environment. It is anticipated that the waste management and recycling activities proposed will lead to income generation for the young people involved and that they will improve the environment through waste collection and clean energy generation. The project will contribute to the Dialogue and progress that is being called for by Pope Francis in the Encyclical Laudato Si on Care for the Common Home. Caritas will work with 10 Parishes in the outer City and South Western City and Eastern Deaneries of the Archdiocese of Harare to implement the Laudato Si.
Humanitarian Capacity Development Programme - Caritas  Hwange 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 Hwange. 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 Hwange takes will have 5 key stages.

Variety of Methods: Encouraged is for Caritas Hwange 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.
Emergency Response to Cyclone IDAI in Chipinge CAFOD in partnership with Caritas Mutare were operational in Chimanimani and Manicaland prior to the onset of Cyclone Idai, primarily working on water and sanitation in schools. They have worked in partnership for over ten years on largescale relief and development projects and have established systems and structures in the Province as well as good relations with local stakeholders.
Nature and Scale: Tropical Cyclone Idai tore through the eastern parts of Zimbabwe from Friday 15 March 2019 affecting the provinces of Manicaland, Masvingo, and Mashonaland East in Zimbabwe. Torrential rains received led to widespread flooding and mudslides and rockfalls. This has left a trail of destruction on infrastructure, homes, livelihood assets and loss of life across Eastern Zimbabwe. There is a humanitarian crisis in parts of Manicaland and Masvingo provinces of Zimbabwe and the government of Zimbabwe has declared a state of disaster. According to the Manicaland Province progress report of 25 March 2019, the official death toll is 181,  over 200 people reported injured and 330 missing but this is expected to rise as areas previously cut-off become reachable and the full extent of the damage becomes known. Destruction to infrastructure and property has been severe, and the livelihoods and access to basic services of over 270,000 people across these districts has been affected, with food stores, harvests and livestock swept away.  A total of 270,000 persons (54,000 households) need support across all sectors,  of the 270,000 persons, nearly 240,000 are in Chimanimani and Chipinge Districts. Water infrastructure has been destroyed across the districts, with Zimbabwe already suffering outbreaks of cholera and typhoid prior to the cyclone there are grave concerns on the outbreak of waterborne diseases. 
Response needs: Immediate needs for affected persons are food and non-food items to save lives. CAFOD and Caritas Mutare are prioritising provision of food and non-food items in Chipinge district. Chipinge is currently accessible while for much of Chimanimani access remains only by helicopter.
The distribution will be done working with local stakeholders and the Church structures in Chipinge to ensure the most deserving persons receive these lifesaving items. The food basket is in line with the sector standards and the non-food items (NFI) kits are in line with standards agreed in the WASH and Shelter sectors and incorporate gendered and dignity needs of affected persons.
Humanitarian Capacity Strengthening 2021 - Caritas Zimbabwe National Office The main purpose of the HCS Transition project is to enable local and national organisations such as Caritas Zimbabwe National Office 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 9 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 Zimbabwe National Office 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 Zimbabwe National Office 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.
Institutional feeding in the Archdioceses of Harare and Bulawayo CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) has been facilitating two CI lead appeals in Zimbabwe with active support from Caritas Internationalis member organisations since the last few years. CI launched two appeals rcently 2007 and 2008 and several CI member organisations responded to it in a befitting manner. The complete break down basic service delivery system in terms of health and education has been a huge challenge during the appeal impementation period which is coming to end by November 2009.

The situation in Zimbabwe has continued to deteriorate due to the poor economic situation, runaway inflation, lack of adequate agric support, consecutive droughts and food shortages especially for the past four years. The HIV/AIDS pandemic though there has been decline in the incidence of new infections and prevalence exacerbated the situation further. As more people become sick due to HIV&AIDS related illnesses, which resulted in increased demand on already dilapidated health delivery system. The health delivery system has collapsed resulting in declined provision of quality service and access to health services. Hospitals are experiencing food shortages for in-patients, health workers, patients’ relatives, waiting pregnant mothers, lactating mothers and malnourished children. Having experienced in associating with Catholic Health delivery system Caritas Germany approached CAFOD in securing food supplies to the resource poor men, woemn and children who seek medical asststance in chucrh run hospitals in the dioceses of Harare and Bulawayo. Caritas germany secured enough funds from German Government to supply food for hospital inpatients, people who are chronically ill and require nutritional support, hospitala nd clinic staff who need incentives to continue to work in poor working conditions and finally nursing students who come from poor economic backgrounds.The project seeks to improve the food security of needy people in ten Catholic Hospitals in the Archdiocese of Harare and Bulawayo. The project will achieve change through provision of food to for in-patients, nursing students, hospital staff (including family members), and out-patients that are affected by tuberculosis, HIV&AIDS or malnutrition and prevention of deteriorated health situation.
Mashambanzou - Home Care Team One. To improve and prolong the quality of life of people who are poor infected and affected by HIV and AIDS
Progressio Capacity Support to CCJP- DW Grant The project, Action for Better Governance, seeks to strengthen the capacity of the Catholic Church in Zimbabwe, through its national and diocesan Commissions for Justice and Peace (CCJPZ), to be more proactive in holding the state accountable for the delivery of good governance, based on the fundamental principles of democracy and human rights.

Progressio will do this through the recruitment and placement of a Development Worker (DW) within CCJP. Based in Harare, the DW will facilitate the process of building the capacity of staff and religious leaders, through CCJP at various levels, in promoting civic education among the members of the church and designing and implementing advocacy and lobbying activities, especially related to the promotion of good governance at the local and national level. 

The DW will be accountable to the National Director for CCJP Zimbabwe, and will offer technical advice and support to CCJP and religious leaders to promote knowledge and understanding of the principles of good governance both from a secular perspective and from the perspective of Catholic Social Teaching. S/he will also assist CCJPZ to maintain effective cooperation and coordination with donor agencies, national and regional networks focussing on good governance, political parties and other civil society actors. S/he will  be working with an identified counterpart(s) for the sharing of knowledge and skills, and mentoring their role for continuity when the DW leaves the programme at the end of the two-year placement. 

A tripartite agreement will be established setting out the terms of the placement and partnerships between the DW, Progressio Zimbabwe and the CCJPZ. The DW will report directly to Progressio Zimbabwe’s Country Representative, with whom overall responsibility for the DW lies.
