Evaluation of the Copperbelt Integrated Nutrition Enhancement Support Project Despite consistent economic growth over the past decade, Zambia continues to face serious challenges to its development, predominantly in the form of rural poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition. It is estimated that up to 70 percent of the population in some rural areas live in extreme poverty. This perhaps partially explains why the landlocked, rural country has one of the worst rates of malnutrition in the world – at 48% of its population. Women bear a particular burden of poverty due to high levels of gender inequality that limits their access to land and income-generating activities. Given that 26.6%  of all households are headed by women, this leaves a considerable proportion of the population vulnerable to poverty and malnutrition. The World Food Programme estimates that 53% of children under five and 30% of women of child-bearing age are anaemic, pointing to severe undernutrition and adolescent girls with a fertility rate of 93 per 1,000 likely to be more vulnerable.  In the Copperbelt province alone, 44% of children are stunted – a condition that is entirely preventable if given access to good nutrition. The Copperbelt Provincial Medical Office states that severe malnutrition fatality for children under 5 stands at 17.5%.

This project seeks to support district officials in mainstreaming their sector plans to include nutrition, to ensure that adolescent girls, women of child bearing age and children under 2 years can access the services required for their nutrition and wellbeing. The project will be based in the rural parts of the districts of Ndola and Luanshya in the Copperbelt, an area yet to benefit from Most Critical Days Programme investment. Over 16,800 adolescent girls, women of childbearing age and children under 2 who are vulnerable to food insecurity will be supported through: improved abilities to grow and sell food; supply of micronutrient food; and, WASH education.
2011-2013 Strategic Plan Implementation JCTR is a faith based organisation of the Zambia-Malawi Province of the Society of Jesus. JCTR promotes the Jesuit mission of "service of the faith and promotion of justice". Currently with a staff of 15, JCTR is well known for its four activities of research, education, advocacy and consultation.JCTR runs four programmes that is;

-The Economic Equity and Development Programme which works to influence macro-economic factors influencing development in Zambia.  It focuses on the structures of debt, aid and trade as they affect Zambians. It will also focus on resource mobilisation through more equitable tax systems and a reformulation of the debt mechanism. JCTR will also follow up on equitable market and trade systems that truly contribute to improving the conditions fo the majority poor in Zambia.

-The Social Conditions Programme will be focusing on employment policies and policies necessary to avoid "jobless growth". There will be additional attention paid to the Agricultural sector in order to offer alternatives to Zambia's over reliance on the mining sector. This will be in addition to the Basic Needs Basket programme that JCTR is well known for.

-The Faith and Justice Programme works on the value basis of JCTR's programmes, promoting ethical public activities. In this new strategic plan, JCTR will focus on the formation of professionals including business people and policitians.  Of particular interest in this cycle will be the implementation of the Second Africa Synod recommendations on Reconciliation, Justice and Peace.

- The Outreach Support Programme works to keep JCTR connected with people and organisations outside Lusaka. In this new cycle, the Outreach Programme will be working closely with the EED, SC and the FJ programmes in its work.

-The Organisational Development and Management Programme ensures that smooth running of the JCTR secretariat operations and this includes administration, finances and information.
Sustainable Agriculture & Micro Enterprise Development (SAMED) Project The food security situation in Zambia is considered alarming. According to the 2016 Global Hunger Index, Zambia is among the three countries with the worst levels of hunger in the world with 47.8% of the population undernourished. In Luapula province, where the Diocese of Mansa operates, the levels of stunting reach 56%. Further, based on baseline studies conducted by Caritas Mansa in previous years, the data showed that only 11.9% of the targeted households were able to secure at least three meals per day and very few women were utilising and benefiting from entrepreneurship skills and contributing to household income. Caritas Mansa through various interventions have been able to address some of these challenges, but these interventions have only been implemented in a few districts of Luapula province. This project will therefore be focused in one of the districts, Kawambwa, that has the lowest production and productivity among small scale farmers, resulting into household food insecurity, low income levels and poor nutrition. This project will therefore look at three key results for the target group; food security, nutrition and income. It is anticipated that the targeted farmer households will experience increased and diversified agricultural production enabling them to take at least three meals per day and have a more diversified and nutritious diet. It is further anticipated that the farmers will increase their income due to increased production, productivity and profitability in selected value chains. The increased incomes would in a long-term enable them gain access to school for their children at all levels of education, afford good health care and increase their asset base such as improved housing and alternative and sustainable livelihood sources. In a long-term children’s situation is expected to improve with reduced malnutrition and improved performance in school due to good health. Additionally, women’s situation is expected to change with more being able and allowed to take part in decision-making and economic activities at household and community level. It is also expected that target communities will have better access to government services as a result of advocacy efforts.
St Theresa Ibenga Integrated HIV and AIDS Programme Through this project, St Theresa Mission Hospital, aims to improve the quality of life of people living with and affected by HIV, and reduce vulnerability to HIV, in rural Ibenga, Zambia. It aims to do this through working with local communities, faith leaders, traditional leaders and High School authorities, because these groups have broad reach and influence.

The project focuses on:
-	Increasing knowledge and uptake of HIV prevention services
-	Reducing vulnerability of children and youths to HIV
-	Reducing stigma and discrimination of people living with and/or affected by HIV and AIDS
-	Increasing livelihood opportunities, and therefore health status, of people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS, including orphans and vulnerable children (through e.g. savings and lending activities)
-	Strengthen the capacity of Ibenga staff and care givers to deliver quality services in their community

This project will include working with 19 schools on prevention campaigns, providing full and accurate information on methods of HIV prevention care and support.  

The project will be implemented in five sites, reaching approximately 16,400 people. Recognising that HIV has a disproportionate effect on women and children, there will be a particular focus on women, orphans and other vulnerable children.
Chele Community School Mbala Chele Community School opened its doors to children in the communities in January, 2010. 

CAFOD’s partner, Sacred Heart Sisters - Households in Distress in working with communities in Mbala District through the Home Based Care Programme came across a lot of orphans as a result of HIV and AIDS. The Programme also realized that there were very few schools in the area and in most instances children have to walk distances of up to 10km to the nearest school. This resulted in a number of children starting school very late in life or not going to school at all. The girls were most vulnerable, a majority of them are married off very early in life resulting in complicated baby deliveries or are malnourished and at the same time HIV positive. 

Chele school is being built in order to ensure that young children have access to education at an affordable cost and within a reasonable walking distance.

The school is a community school and the the community has taken the responsibility of building the school.

 HID and the Ministry of Education were coming in to support the efforts made by the community. The school will focus on meeting the educational needs of vulnerable children unable to attend the government-run schools which are too far away. 

At the present moment the school has an enrolment of 80 children between the ages of 7 -13 years old.  This number is going to increase with the availability of more classrooms in 2011 and even beyond.
Food and Seeds Emergency Relief 2005/06 
SOA 34/05 - To provide relief food to 18,000 households (144,000 persons) in 5 dioceses of the country
- To restore productive assets of 18,000 vulnerable households during the 2005/06 agricultural season by providing seeds for drought tolerant food crops and rehabilitating water wells to supply clean domestic water
Promoting Active Participation of Women, Men and Youths in the Electoral Process There is growing passive participation of women and youths in the electoral process in the country. Causes include, low awareness among women and youths of their civic rights and responsibilities in the electoral process (mainly due to low access to information); inadequate measures to ensure protection and respect of human rights of women and youths and the discriminatory practices on women and youths that promotes unfair participation in the electoral process.  Low awareness among women and youths of their civic rights and responsibilities in the electoral process has also caused abuse of women and youths in the election process and reducing their dignity. Women being objectified and used to campaign for their male counterparts, while youths are used as tools of violence against other candidates. Addressing these challenges calls for increased women and youth voices in key decision making, hence the need to enhance active participation of women and youth in the electoral process.

The proposed project will implement activities in two phases: pre; and post elections in the Lusaka Archdiocese. These activities will raise awareness on civil rights and responsibilities among women, men and youth, enhance the capacities of women, men and youth to effectively participate in the electoral process and will further build the capacities of the media to promote gender and youth responsive coverage during the electoral process respectively. Additionally, the project will build capacities of elected leaders, women, men and youth for them to effectively perform elected official duties.
Archdiocese of Lusaka Community Integrated HIV and AIDS Programme Archdiocese of Lusaka Community integrated AIDS programme is the pastoral arm of the Archdioces of Lusaka .

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. This project therefore targets 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 increased focus on basic service accessibility, awareness raising and legal protection.
Following extensive consultations with government authorities, Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in particular Disabled People Organisations (DPOs) at national, provincial and at district level, and interviews with a selected number of PwDs and their families, CAFOD and HID formulated a combination of strategies in response to the needs and constraints of the target groups, using a ‘cause and effect’ chain analysis. This analysis informed the design of the overall outcome and outputs of the project.
Archdiocese of Lusaka Community Integrated HIV and AIDS Programme Archdiocese of Lusaka is the main hub of the Catholic Church in Zambia. It also holds the country's capital city. Lusaka is where every Zambian wishes to be in terms of employment opportunities and getting linked to other parts of Zambia. The Diocess hosts the major functional infrastructure and service providers. However the demand for services is overwhelmed by the ever swelling numbers making it difficult for many to access services and many living below the poverty datum line.

This project envisages to provide a holistic intervention towards integral human development by preventing the spread of HIV and AIDS and mitigating its effects to both the affected and infected within the Archdiocese of Lusaka.
The project will seek to address the following objectives through quality interventions:
Improve the quality of life of PLWHHA and other chronic illnesses
Improve the quality of life of OVCs and their guardians
Contribute to the reduction of incidences of HIV infection
Improve CHBC overall sustainability and effectiveness
Improve the overall organisational effectiveness of CHBC coordination
