Programme Development Support During the 2006/07 CAFOD worked with Mongu Diocese to develop a strategic plan for implementing a sustainable livelihoods programme in Mongu Diocese. After developing the strategic plan, CAFOD could not follow up with support to Mongu Diocese for implementing the livelihoods programme, as a result the Diocese could not implement some of the components of the strategic plan. Last year 2008, the Bishop of Mongu and management staff of Caritas Mongu requested for an urgent support from CAFOD to cover budget shortfalls for the livelihoods programme. CAFOD Harare proposes a programme development support to assist the Diocese of Mongu meet the budget shortfalls and fully implement the livelihoods programme. The project seeks to improve the development of the Mongu Livelihoods Programme. The project will achieve change through provision of support to the development of the livelihoods programme.
Livelihoods for People Living with HIV and the mentally challenged in Livingstone-St Francis St Francis Community Integrated Care Programme is situated in the Southern Province of Zambia and in the Catholic Diocese of Livingstone. St Francis was initiated in 1993 by the Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa in conjunction with the Ministry of Health. The programme is overseen by the Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Livingstone, has a Board of Management with its composition drawn from the local community. 	
Livingstone District has seventeen wards and St Francis operates in sixteen of the wards (eight peri urban compounds) with a population estimation of 142,034 (70,209 males and 71,825 females) (CSO: 2010).  
The programme has always been providing palliative care to people living with HIV, TB, disabled and the affected in the community.  With the availability of ARV treatment and the changing face of HIV, the programme will now do some integrated HIV work with adherence counselling and support being its core business and sustainable livelihoods will be strengthened.
Improving self-reliance and well-being of refugees and host communities in Mantapala settlement This project seeks to improve self-reliance and food security of 1,500 refugee households from Democratic Republic of Congo in Mantapala Refugee Settlement through provision of agriculture inputs, technical and business-skills training, extension services and improved access to market and financial services. By February 2018, Zambia had received over 18,000 refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo since January 2017. Luapula Province has been struck by a steady influx of refugees from the DRC, specifically from the areas of Pweto in Haut Katanga, and Moba, in Tanganyika Province, fleeing increased fighting between the government forces and non-state armed groups. All recognized refugees entering into Zambia through Luapula province on an average rate of 100 per day are transported to Kenani Transit Centre. However, with just 56 hectares, the site will soon run out of absorption capacity hence a new site named Mantapala located in Nchelenge district is being developed into a permanent refugee settlement. Mantapala Settlement is 5,100 ha with capacity to host 25,000 refugees. A total of 222 refugees were relocated from Kenani to Mantapala during January. It is expected that by April another 2000 will have moved. Refugees relocated to Mantapala Refugee Settlement have no access to livelihoods and mostly rely on the food assistance which can be provided only for limited period of time. Locality is remote without any services and developed markets. Further, the Zambian host community in this location suffers high poverty rates (80% of the host community lives under the poverty line).
This project therefore aims to provide livelihood interventions to contribute to stabilization, improved food security and nutrition of refugee population who move to Mantapala Settlement from Kenani Transit Centre. Further, the project will also seek to increase resilience and self-reliance of both refugees and host communities in Mantapala Settlement in long term.
St. Theresa’s Mission Hospital COVID19 Response project There is a threat of increased positive cases of COVID19 in Mpongwe and Masaiti districts and based on this St. Theresa Mission Hospital working to contain the spread of the virus by early detection, isolation and supportive care and treatment of COVID19 cases. This project therefore seeks to support St. Theresa Mission Hospital on the following measures that will enable the hospital support vulnerable patients during this period.
•	Construction of an isolation facility (ward)
•	Procurement of medical equipment
•	Procurement of personal protective equipment (PPE)
•	Drilling of a borehole for the improved provision of water
Sustainable Livelihoods Project The project broadly aims at promoting social justice as well as contributing towards ending poverty. Specifically, the project aims to address people’s inability to benefit from the economic growth by promoting diversification in agriculture and value addition in the sector which has the benefits of growing the economy and reducing poverty. In doing this, the project will address impediments to growth in the sector arising from inadequate policies and structures. Efforts will be made to build the capacities of community members to understand their role in practicing agriculture in a sustainable way. This will include:
i.	Advocating for improved and diversified agricultural practices
ii.	Advocating for strengthening and enforcing agricultural laws and policies
Sustainable Livelihoods, Climate Change Mitigating Programme 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. The Northern province has experienced a number of climate-related hazards including droughts and dry spells, seasonal and flash floods, and extreme temperatures. Some of these, especially droughts and floods, have increased in frequency and intensity over the last two decades and have adversely impacted on food and water security, energy and livelihoods of communities. The rampant cutting down of trees and burning has further led to soil erosion, leaving deep gullies which become unproductive land. The erosion also contributes to the washing away of the fertile top soils which are washed away by running water from an abnormally heavy downpour of rains. In areas where Chitemene system of farming has been practised for a long-time, soils have become so loose that even the wind erodes the unprotected soil. The project will seek to address these identified problems by undertaking a wide range of interventions that aim at improving soil fertility, deforestation and use of conservation agriculture. The project will also strengthen capacity in government line ministries and also conduct advocacy with the traditional leadership in trying to mitigate the climate change issues.
Support to CDoN staffing costs on MF6 project CAFOD is supporting the Catholic Diocese of Ndola to implement a project with a focus of building community resilience to climatic shocks, through improving food security, caring practices for vulnerable groups, and sanitation and hygiene practices to enhance the nutritional status of rural communities in Zambia for 11,640HH. For the past two years, the staff working on the project have partly been working on other projects supported by other agencies. Unfortunately, in September 2020 CDoN lost a major project which was matching the staff salaries for staff working on the MF6 project. As a result, most of our staff on the project remained on a 50% salary pay which the project was contributing. Therefore to ensure that the project remains on course and staff deliver on all planned outputs and outcomes, CAFOD will match the salaries for the staff who are affected until at a time the partner finds resources through proposals which they have sent out to other cooperating partners to match the project salaries.
Food Security and Strengthening of Resilience among Targeted Communities in Southern Zambia. Southern Zambia (which is most of the Diocese of Monze) has, since 1991 experienced unpredictable weather changes that have included droughts, flash floods, a shift in the rainfall pattern and at times extremely high temperatures up to 48 degrees Celsius. These variations in the weather / climate, coupled with intensified deforestation activities (for charcoal burning) and environmental insensitive cultivation methods by the people in southern Zambia have negatively impacted their general livelihood, food security and the ecosystem in general. The climate change effects are of global nature and as such interventions to address these should be both by way of preparedness (enhancing resilience) and response. Hence the Food Security and Strengthening of Resilience project.
St Francis Integrated Care Programme ( St Francis CICP) St Francis Community Integrated Care Programme operates in Livingstone District of Zambia. St. Francis Care Project was founded in 1993 by the Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa in conjunction with the Ministry of Health.  St. Francis Care Centre for VCT was opened in 2003. Due to the comprehensives of the activities offered, the name changed to St. Francis Community Integrated Care Programme in May 2011.

The Programme seeks to alleviate the increasing burden on health services. Its major activities include: palliative care, health education, economic empowerment, OVC support, capacity building and advocacy. Target beneficiaries are: persons with disabilities, PLWHAs, chronically ill, OVCs, orphan guardians, prisoners, faith leaders and youths. 

The major challenges are: 
-The mobility of HIV and AIDS  clients both new and old because the programme is located in a tourist resort and border town that links it with the wider Zambia via Lusaka, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia which predisposes new and old clients to risky behaviours as a result of wanting to make a living. 
-Because of its geographical location and dry climate, the district experiences recurrent droughts and food shortages leading to most children dropping out from school as they seek early employment.
-Clients already on ART, treatment adherence is a very big challenge and most quickly think that they are healed or the become defaulters as they seek employment across borders.
-The diversity of cultural and religious practices contributes to the cases of Stigma and discrimination thus limiting access to services.
-Some policies by Government such cost recovery make it prohibitive for clients to seek services.
-Shrinking of donor services in Livingstone has led to an increased burden on the few organisations against the population of 103 288
St Francis Community Integrated Care Programme goal is to improve the quality of life for the most vulnerable and less privileged members of the targeted communities through the following activities:
-Prevention to include VCT/HIVCT, ART and food suppliments
-Palliative care/Home Based Care and treatment of opportunistic infections
-Health education
-Economic empowerment and other sustainable livelihoods to include agriculture.
Strengthening partners capacity to respond to HIV and AIDS and share lessons The top-up investment funding will be earmarked towards pulling together a learning platform for the HIV and AIDS partners in Zambia. The learning platform will be created for three selected partners (Archdiocese of Lusaka, St Theresa and St Francis) with the following aims:
1.	To assess achievements and challenges in M&E with the view of maximising on learning points and improve capacity in this area
2.	To build capacity in engagement in advocacy work, through networks and national organisations, to inform various project activities among the partners and increase their involvement and influence
3.	To build partners capacity to engage with key HIV and AIDS national platforms such as National HIV and AIDS Council and Network of Zambian People Living with HIV (NZP+) so as to leverage increased understanding of national HIV and AIDS standards/requirements and frameworks.
4.	To consolidate the work and achievement that has been undertaken over 5 years for package it for sharing and learning
Integrated AIDS Program- Bridge Funding Integrated Aids Programme of the Catholic Diocese of Ndola has been in existence since 1993 in response to an increase in the number of HIV/AIDS patients and Orphaned & Vulnerable Children on the Copperbelt. The Programme operates in 7 Districts of the Copperbelt Province of Zambia namely Ndola, Kitwe, Luanshya, Chingola, Mufulira, Mpongwe and Chililabombwe, covering 73 Shanty compounds and operates through 13 community Home based care programmes. Integrated Aids Program is very much involved in the Health, Education and development Projects through different interventions related to care and support for people living with HIV-AIDS, OVC Care and Support, livelihood support and support for community caregivers. The overall objective is to empower the communities with improved health, knowledge and skills in order for them to be self-supporting.

This project is bridge fund for the period between 1st September, 2017 and 31st August, 2018 and will have the following objectives:
•	To continue  providing care and support to PLWHA with emphasis on developing their resilience
•	To continue promoting, facilitating  and strengthening  socio-economic empowerment for PLWHA, and the community volunteers
•	To continue support the welfare of community caregivers
JCTR 2011-2013 Strategic Plan The 2011-2013 Strategic Plan continues the direction and agenda of the 4 main prorammes JCTR has been engaged in namely the Debt, Aid and Trade Programme, the Outreach Programme, the Church Social Teaching Programme and the Social Conditions Programme. In this Strategic Plan, these programmes have been renamed to better reflect the new orientation and activities. The programmes are now as follows;

- The Economic Equity and Development Programme (Debt,Aid and Trade Programme)
This programme focuses on the structures of debt, aid and trade as the affect the well being of Zambians. New emphasis will include research into resource mobilisation through more equitable tax systems abd a reformulation of the debt mechanism proposal. JCTR will also focus on research into equitable market and trade systems that truly contribute to improving the conditions of the majority poor in Zambia

-The Social Conditions Programme 
focuses on the micro-economic situation of Zambians. It seeks to examine the reality of life for ordinary Zambians.  This programme will focus on employment policies and policies necessary to avoid "jobless growth". Heightened attention will be paid to the agricultural sector of Zambia's economy. This is informed by the need to influence policies on diversification of the country's economy, from an over-reliance on mining. This work ties in with JCTR's on-going work on the basic needs basket and the rural basket.

-The Faith and Justice Programme (formerly Church Social Teaching Programme), works on grounding JCTR's work within a CST value framework. The programme will in the new framework,  put more emphasis on the formation of the laity, especially professionals with short term courses and production of materials. Particular focus will be on the implementation of the Second African Synod recommendations for reconciliation, justice and peace.

The Outreach Support works with all the JCTR programmes, ensuring that the information and knowledge is not confined to Lusaka, the capital, but is taken, through the programme, to other areas beyond the city.

Stigma Reduction Initiative with Faith Leaders This is a pilot project that seeks to interrogate stigma amongst the religious.
The project acknowledges that stigma is a hindrance or an obstacle to accessing care, support and prevention services. Stigma also excludes people from their rightful place in economic, educational, social and family circles. It affects women men and children living with or affected by HIV. 
The pilot seeks to establish that because of their positions of influence faith leaders are in a position to tackle HIV related stigma both locally and more broadly. The initiative will strengthen faith leaders influence with Government and other decision makers in-country and will enhance their profile, nationally and with international agencies as key actors within their fuller response to HIV.
This will also impact on:
•	Sustainable development, as this strengthens inclusion and uptake of services.
•	Promote equality and acceptance of all people because stigma isolates, dis-empowers and perpetuates poverty in communities.
•	Increase focus and attention to women and girls as they are most hard hit by HIV as individuals and are vulnerable by their very nature and status in society
•	Foster and increase power of positive change through working with faith communities and transform stigmatising attitudes to acceptance and integration.
Access to Justice - Paralgal Support Programme Under the laws of Zambia, every person has a right to access justice. But the situation on the Copperbelt Province does not allow most people, especially the vulnerable poor to access justice because of the continued complicated nature of court processes. Further, access to legal services continues to be a major challenge by the vulnerable especially women and children because of high legal fees. The other obstacle is high levels of illiteracy and also ignorance of the law and legal procedures especially among women. In the rural areas of the Copperbelt, the only recourse for most rural women and children is customary law that tends to perpetuate the abuse of children and young girls. The perpetrator is fined to compensate the victim’s family, with offences that would attract substantial sentence under statutory law receiving cursory punishment under customary law. 
The community of the Copperbelt  province therefore needs interventions to safe guard all forms of rights, particularly those of the women and girls ranging from the right for them to enjoy their youth, right to good education, right to land, protection from all forms of sexual abuse and any form of modern day slavery. The communities need to be sensitized on human rights and how communities can take part in the empowerment exercise of these victims of violations of human rights, starting at household level.
The Paralegal Support Programme has been a response to violations of women’s and children’s rights in households and communities on the Copperbelt province. The Programme has thus been focusing on reducing the violations of women and girls rights through free legal advice/aid, legal representation, psycho-social counseling, and mediation. The programme has also been involved in promotion of human rights, and advocacy through training of police, teachers, local authority and other concerned groups in paralegal, and raising awareness in the community through mobile legal clinics, newsletter, and publication of legal materials, media and drama. In as much as the Programme plans to continue with these activities, it also seeks to proactively involve the girls and women in the empowerment initiatives so that they grow in the awareness of their rights in households and communities. Broadly, the project will focus on the following activities to achieve impact: 
1. Promoting social justice by upholding human dignity and responsibilities for all 
2. Advocating for just policies to ensure social justice 
3. Providing checks and balances on governance issues 
4. Providing legal assistance to vulnerable women and children, whose rights are violated
