Gender Equality is My Agenda (GEIMA) Project Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) including child marriage is one of the foremost concerns in the struggle to achieve gender equality in Zambia. The Zambia Demographic Health Survey (2013/2014) reveals that 43% of Zambian women aged 15-49 have experienced physical violence at least once since age 15, while 47% of married women aged 15-49 report having experienced physical, sexual and emotional violence from their current or most recent husband or partner. Although SGBV affects both men and women, the ZDHS report revealed that the majority of perpetrators of violence for ever married women were current husband or partner (63%) while those for never married women were mothers or step mothers (28%). Sexual violence among women aged 15-49 in Zambia is highest at 23%, with Northern province at 15.8% while the prevalence of physical violence is highest in Northern Province standing at 50.9%. Child marriage is also major developmental problem with the prevalence in Zambia currently standing at 31% (ZDHS 2013/2014). Gender inequality is compounded by discriminatory social and cultural norms, attitudes and practices which contribute to the current status of low economic empowerment among women owing to low access to and control over productive resources and low participation in decision making processes. 

This project therefore aims at promoting gender equality by reducing gender inequalities and injustices through tackling negative gender social and traditional norms that promote gender inequalities, SGBV and child marriage while at the same time improving access to psychosocial and legal information and services for SGBV survivors. The project will aim to achieve the following two major outcomes: (1) Communities where women, men, girls and boys are valued equally and have equal opportunities to participate in decision making and economic and social activities; and, (2) Reduced acceptance of and prevalence of SGBV and child marriage in targeted communities.
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.
Sacred Heart Sisters Integrated HIV and AIDS and Livelihoods -Mbala Households in distress describes the life and living conditions of most communities in Mbala situated in the most  remote  district of Zambia. This project is managed by the Sacred Heart Sisters of Jesusu and Mary; missionary sisters whose main branch is in Lusaka.
This project seeks to alleviate the suffering of the communities of Mbalathrough the following interventions:
Provision of quality care and support
Provision of psychosocial support to families and individuals affected and infected by HIV
Facilitating participation of both men and women and OVCs in livelihoods activities and other income generating activities and improve their household incomes.
Introduce new farming methods and techniques and diverisification of crops
Reduce the number of beneficiaries at household level depending on handouts

The programme has also identified illiteracy as a major challenge and hindering development and progress on the investments injected in the communities. This is a major contributing factor to the continued inrease in the prevalence of HIV, the rate at which is 26%
The programme has seen a number of OVCs who are mainly from programme beneficiaries and these are benefiting from the village orphan support group initiative and HID seeks to continue with this initiative.

Cancel Zambia's Debt to Free up Resources to Fight COVID19 The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus outbreak, a global pandemic on 11th March 2020. Zambia has now been affected by the pandemic with 1,200 confirmed cases as at 8th May 2020 and 10 deaths. According to the risk analysis conducted by the Ministry of Health, the coronavirus has the potential to affect 7,616,108 people in 43 districts of the ten provinces of Zambia. The pandemic has also the potential to impact the economy of the country and ultimately the resources to provide on-going provision of essential goods and services as well as the resources to respond to COVID-19. The ease of response to COVID-19 is aided by strong and stable economic fundamentals. 

With the COVID-19 pandemic government’s revenues has dropped as most businesses in various value chains have been adversely affected. Further, the demands to contain the outbreak of COVID-19 has also meant that the little revenue that the government is currently generating is being channelled to COVID-19 mitigation efforts. But clearly with a constrained treasury due to debt and dropping revenues, it is justifiable that a permanent relief mechanism is assured for countries such as Zambia.    

Against this background, the Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) in partnership with Caritas Zambia is seeking to bring about economic justice for the vulnerable and voiceless citizens of Zambia by influencing Zambia’s lenders to cancel some of its debt. It is hoped that this will free up resources for public service delivery particularly in the education, health and water and sanitation sectors. It is also envisioned that the reduced debt burden will increase the country’s ability to effectively and efficiently respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Inclusive Sustainable Livelihood Project According to the 2019 Global Hunger Index, Zambia ranked 113th out of 117 with a score of 38.1. The hunger index indicators are particularly worse  in rural provinces, for example in Luapula province, levels of stunting are 56%. This is because food and income security situation in Luapula Province is considered alarming with the province rated the second poorest province in the country, after Western Province, with extreme poverty at 67.7%. 

This project will, therefore, focus on increasing income and savings at household level; improved nutrition, hygiene and access to vital health services; improved policy implementation and land justice; and improved environmental stewardship. Once these four interlinked human development outcomes are achieved they will lead to ensuring that the poorest and most disadvantaged communities in Kawambwa Tea Estate Parish and Musonda Falls Sub-Parish of Mansa Diocese are economically empowered and start enjoying sustainable and inclusive livelihood opportunities. This will be achieved by building the capacities of the small scale farmers in sustainable and productive-enhancing farming practices; good health, water, sanitation and hygiene; food preservation and storage; value addition; and to facilitate their access to markets and credit, while ensuring that the national policy environment is conducive as well as ensuring environmental protection. In all these initiatives mainstreaming cross-cutting issues of gender equality, human rights, HIV and AIDS, environment and disability will take a centre stage in order to achieve all-inclusive development – not leaving anyone behind.

St Francis Integrated Care Programme ( St Francis CICP) Livingstone is the boarder town of Zambia and its located in the tourist hub of Zambia.As such it has the highest prrevalece rate of HIVand AIDS related diseases in Zambia. The rate is at 30,9% , a decline of only 1% from 31% in the late 1980s. Nationally the prevalence rate in Zambia is at 14.5% at moment. Even when ARVs are available not every corner in Zambia is accessing ARVs and the cost of treatment is restrictive and also unaffordable for the ordinary person in Zambia.

The ARVs have changed the face of HIV in Zambia, but this  has posed the greatest challenge of prevention, both to new infections and ensuring that HIV is not spread even amongst those living with the virus and have started treatment. This has also led to 
 a demand for nutritional support and income generating activities.

The Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa established the Community Care programme in 1993 and has helped more than 11,750 patients to date , in both urban and rural Livingstone. The rural clients come in as referals. 

This programme will  focus on palliative care, health education ,OVC support, economic support to project benficiaries, capacity building and advocacy. 

The programme values its commited volunteers who form the back borne f the project. They are involved in te care and support of a majority of the clients and the OVC support. The OVCs are mainly children of clients who have passed through the programme and a majority of them ave died.

Youth Education, Awareness and Behaviour Change Programme This project aims to contribute to the reduction of HIV incidence among young people in Livingstone and Lusaka.

Current rates of transmission in these urban areas are 25.4% and 20.8% respectively, driven by factors such as: multiple and concurrent sexual partners; activities of sex workers and men who have sex with men; high levels of mobility and labour migration; low and inconsistent condom use; low levels of male circumcision; and mother-to-child transmission. These factors are exacerbated by widespread poverty; underfunded and inadequate educational facilities; poor access to health services and HIV prevention in schools; and gender roles that discriminate against women. 

The project is designed to reduce these rates through the education of young people in life skills to address these issues, and support of young people through clubs and sports activities. In addition, teachers, parents and other stakeholders will be supported through workshops and other forms of information dissemination.

The project will be implemented over 3 years. CAFOD will contribute a third of the total budget whilst the remainder is met by Misereor.
