Caritas Hwange - Livelihoods Protection and Promotion Zimbabwe To improve food and income security of 3 000 poor and most vulnerable groups in 2 wards in Binga District by 2011. CADEC Hwange conducted PRAs in the district and consulted other stakeholders from the district and those from outside the district to identify the problems that affect the targeted wards of operation. Food insecurity was the major problem that affected the proposed wards of operation and the district in general. Some of the causes of food insecurity ranged from inadequate and unevenly distributed rains, poor soils, too much reliance on rain fed fields. Food insecurity affects all groups in the community but the most hit are the very poor and vulnerable and these include, households with high dependency ratios, the disabled, the terminally ill and the child headed households.

Through the PRAs and other studies conducted in the district, it has been observed that the sanitation coverage in the district is very low. The sanitation coverage for Simatelele ward stands at 1% whilst that of Lubu stands at 11% because of CADEC’s intervention. Water related diseases are also prevalent in the district. Lessons from the PRP 1 have shown that through the provision of safe water, proper sanitation facilities and through PHHE, the occurrence of such diseases could be minimized. One successful scenario is the Chunga cholera outbreak which claimed lives of people. However, when stakeholders put their heads together, sanitation facilities were constructed in Chunga, PHHE was intensified and clean water facilities were put in place, the ward has never experienced any cholera outbreaks.

Simatelele ward is a fishing camp area. There is an influx of people coming to buy fish and some of these people use other means so that they can access the fish from the local fishermen. One such means is through prostitution. The ward has seen a significant increase in the number HIV related deaths and the degree of orphanage has continued to increase. The other contributing factor for both wards is that the majority of the working class is based in Hwange or Victoria Falls. These areas are among the highest in HIV cases in the country.
Aqua Trauma Counselling Aqua Trauma Counseling is a programme to help victims of physical and mental trauma (including the perpetrators of violence) to achieve healing, reconciliation and empowerment through a series of group counseling workshops facilitated by counselors/facilitators who are themselves survivors of similar trauma. The Project aims at helping poor urban and rural communities which have been affected by social collapse and the violence of the past two decades to address the roots and structural causes of cycles of violence through a sustainable and community driven approach. In this regard the Project envisages the achievement in Zimbabwe of health and prosperous communities in which citizens actively participate and contribute to community life without the fear of violence. Through this Project Aqua intends over the next two years to: 1. hold healing workshops for some 1,440 survivors of violence from at least 5 target communities; 2. train 20 Facilitators responsible for monitoring the subsequent progress of  survivors and facilitating mutual support activities   and 3. connect at least 60% of victims to the relevant resource streams to access additional legal and medical assistance on a case by case. Justifying this initiative in spite of the belief that Zimbabwe has become peaceful is the fact that many Zimbabweans are inured to the pervasive atmosphere of violence in the broader society and therefore caught up in a relentless cycle of violations including domestic violence, rape, bullying, intimidation etc. This thriving sub-culture of violence strips vulnerable people of their citizenship and keeps at ransom in situations of constant disempowerement. Since 2000, communities in Zimbabwe have been torn apart and countless people traumatized by factionalism and violence. It has been estimated that a million people have been affected by some form of torture or violence. Liberating those people from trauma is an essential prerequisite to empowering them to take part in activities aimed at liberating them from external oppression and taking control of their own development.
Sustainable Livelihoods Project Phase 2 This project will build on the successes and lessons learnt and evaluation from the first phase of the sustainable Livelihoods programme. the project will focus on access to water, food security with economic empowerment, Livestock management, capacity strengthening of select communities, partner staff and stakeholders. a conscious effort will be made to ensure complementarity with other existing projects being implemented by the partner such as ER-WASH and PRP in Binga.

Projcet Goal:Enhanced quality of life of select communities in Hwange and Lupane through: improved access to water, food security, livestock management and strengthening the capacity of communities, stakeholders and staff by 2014.

Expected Outcomes:
1. Improved access to water for 2,500 people and improved knowledge, attitude and practices on hygiene for 500 households.
2. Improved capacity of 200 households to produce sufficient food through trainings and establishment of nutrition gardens and small scale irrigation schemes.
3. Improved quality of livestock through improved quality of dip-tanks and training in livestock management.
4. Improved capacity of the select communities, stakeholders and staff in effective programming for sustainability
Vimbe livelihoods restoration Vimbe dam is located in Gokwe North District, about 5km South of Kadzidirire Business Centre (Map 1728D2).  The dam was constructed around 1992 and it breached in 2001. The dam featured an earth embankment with a central masonry spillway. In 2015 the dam was re-constructed and could hold water for a season. Heavy rain brought about flooding to most parts of the country. Midlands province was one of the most affected parts of the country. Vimbe dam is one among the lot of affected infrastructure in the province. The dam spillway was heavily eroded resulting in reduction of dam storage capacity. This is the dam where CAFOD is constructing an irrigation scheme with MF3 funding to provide a source of livelihood for the local community. The project will establish a lined dam spillway in order to restore the source of livelihoods for communities through fishing, irrigation and water supply for domestic uses as well as to establish the irrigation scheme.

Food Aid Support for Vulnerable Households - CAFOD Harare CAFOD provides technical and management oversight to the Caritas National Office and the dioceses. In this programme funded by Canadian Food Grain Bank (CFGB) Caritas Chinhoyi and Caritas Masvingo will be the implementers of the programme. CAFODOffice will play its mandated programme management role.
CFGB programme aims to reduce the proportion of people who suffer from hunger and extreme poverty. It is expected that the project will increase the quality and quantity of meals consumed and also increase the availability and access of food commodities at household level. Beneficiaries are the most vulnerable households comprising of child headed, elderly headed, women headed, home base care patients and households with chronically ill dependents. 
Mbire district in Chinhoyi, Mashonaland Central province and Chivi district in Masvingo province were prioritized as the most food insecure districts for this intervention. Prioritisation was done in consultation with the district authorities. Beneficiary identification and registration was conducted using the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method whereby households participated in the identification of households to benefit using local vulnerability and poverty indicators.
A total of 730.92 mt of maize meal, sugar beans and vegetable oil will be procured, delivered to partner warehouses and distributed to targeted households through this programme. It will give 10kgs of maize meal, 1.5kgs of sugar beans and 0.682kgs of vegetable oil per person per month to a maximum of 5 people per household. A total of 2,000 households are targeted translating to 5,000 beneficiaries who will receive food for 6 months. It is anticipated that adequate food supplies will be distributed to the targeted households hence beneficiaries will be food secure for six months in the hungriest period.
National Peace, Reconciliation and Mediation Program Peace, stability and good governance are pre-requisites for sustainable development and social cohesion. However, post-independent Zimbabwe inherited a culture of conflict and violence which to this day affect national peace and stability. Since electoral violence that began in intensity ahead of June 2008 Presidential run-off elections, it has become a trend in Zimbabwe to experience intimidation, coercion, threats, and even deaths caused by political intolerance. The unresolved past conflicts in Zimbabwe such as the civil war or Gukurahundi of 1980s, fast track land reform of 2000 and political and electoral conflict and violence which became more profound in 2008 have continued to haunt the nation resulting in compromised democratic processes. Politicisation of state institutions has made it difficult for one to distinguish between the state and the ruling party in the country. Since 2009, the government, with support from the international community has initiated national healing, peace and reconciliation processes which included the formation of the Government of National Unity (GNU), establishment of the Organ of National Healing and Reconciliation (ONHR) and the subsequent adoption of a new progressive Constitution in 2013. The constitution has an elaborate bill of rights I that provides for the establishment of independent Commissions to support and entrench human rights and democracy in the country. This includes the National Peace and Reconciliation Commission (NPRC) mandated with post-conflict justice, healing and reconciliation in the country. This project is therefore intended to strengthen the role of the church in facilitating an effective national peace and reconciliation process especially before, during and after the 2018 harmonized elections.

Project Goal: Zimbabwe society lives in peace, harmony and justice

Specific Objectives:
1. A national peace and reconciliation process in line with the country’s legal frameworks and Church’s / citizens’ expectation – a national peace and reconciliation process we want - is carried out
2. Electoral environment is more peaceful and citizens participate freely and independently
3. Church reduces potentials for violent conflict.
Community-based water resource management- Gokwe North The overall purpose of this project is to increase access to potable water to marginalized women, men and children of Gokwe North ward 14. This action is to contribute to progress towards MDG 7 of halving the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water in the targeted ward. 
This project will directly target  xxx community members(xx females and xx males) from xx households in the targeted ward.
To achieve that the following outcomes will be pursued;
MF6 OCT - DEC CLOSURE COSTS - CARITAS GOKWE To facilitate MF6 Project Closure in Gokwe North and Gokwe South
Drought Relief- School Feeding for Chipawa Primary School This programme intends to kick start a targeted school feeding program at Chipawa primary school. School based feeding is only allowed at learning institutions with access to safe water hence the programme will include the drilling of a borehole to provide access to safe and clean water to learners whilst enabling school feeding. This has been necessitated by the successive drought that has taken toll on the community in question through a drastic and cumulative reduction of farm yield due to poor rainfall variability and distribution. Coupled to that, Chipawa primary school has no source of water present and children travel 5 kilometres to the next water point which has seasonal yields; drying up in summer. Pfungwe area is in UMP which is one of Caritas Harare’s operational areas. 
The area is very rich in Gold hence artisanal mining as a coping economic activity is very common and unregulated. This has been a pull factor for local communities to cope with the crises of livelihood negotiation. Simultaneously, the same economic magnet has attracted school going kids who drop out of school opting for mining as a mechanism of averting hunger. UNESCO (2018) posits that more than a quarter of children below 15 years of age in Zimbabwe are underweight due to poor diet and malnutrition making them more vulnerable to disease and less able to concentrate at school.
Drought Response 2020 in Zimbabwe UMP district The extremely high temperatures and low rains experienced during the early part of the 2019 to 2020 season affected plant germination and resulted in the permanent wilting of crops in UMP and Gokwe which are the operational areas for MF6. Some smallholder farmers replanted twice with crops failing to withstand the dry spells. This has exacerbated nutrition risks resulting in an increase in moderate and acute malnutrition cases as reported by the District Nutritionists. The rivers, underground water table and dam levels are low thereby affecting irrigation and availability of water for livestock watering. The low dam and river water levels also affect post rainfall season agricultural activities including pastures for livestock which play significant roles in food production and contribute towards household food and nutrition Security. This has a high likelihood of affecting the project results of the Match fund 6 Project being implemented in UMP and Gokwe Districts .
To mitigate against the mentioned impact of the current situation of MF6 beneficiaries, the crises modifier would like to implement the following activities: 
(i)	improve access to safe and clean [and productive]  water 
(ii)	 increase access to and consumption of protein rich foods  
(iii)	fodder production and
(iv)	catchment area protection
WASH in Schools Schools with quality WASH programmes can limit the spread of disease. The programme will support hand washing through construction of hand washing facilities in all institutions. Through interactive PHHE, supervised group hand washing with soap will be promoted at critical breaks before meals.
The programme will consider  gender-specific WASH needs of learners and teachers. Girls who have reached puberty and female school staff who are menstruating need  privacy. Raising Clean Hands(2010) point out that failure to provide gender related privacy may result in absenteeism rates that can reach 10–20 per cent of school time. The programme will ensure that toilets and washstands, for example, will be customized to fit children’s smaller size, and WASH facilities that are traditionally designed for the ‘average’ child must consider the fact that children have a wide range of abilities and needs. Through interactive PHHE, appropriate messages will be designed and shared with other learners using different platforms such as murals, dramas, dances, songs and games
The proposed programme will contribute towards addressing the identified WinS challenges  through  facilitation and resources to target schools in Binga and Nkayi districts to enable access to inclusive water and sanitation facilities. Technical and power analysis assessments and mapping institutional responsibilities will be initial steps towards addressing identified WinS challenges specific to each school.
CAFOD Harare Team Operating Costs (LPPZ Year 4) The Project is to support the CAFOD Harare southern Africa team to be able to support the four partners that are implementing the Livelihoods Protection and Promotion programme (Year 4). The goal of the programme is to improve household food security and reduce water borne diseases for 8,000 selected HH through a combination of broad interventions that include agriculture support, water and sanitation and social protection in Bulilima, Binga, Mangwe, Nyanga and Chivi by August 2012
Improving Participation of Women and Youth in Decision making Structures through Livelihoods This project aims to contribute to conflict transformation, gender equality and good governance through improved livelihoods, in Zimbabwe.

Masakhaneni Projects Trust has been working on Peace Building and Conflict Transformation since 2008. Through this they have realised that poverty provides a fertile ground for conflict manifestation. In response, the Trust has designed an intervention that is aimed at bringing together communities to work on livelihoods project and then using the space thus created to discuss local conflict issues as well as beginning the process of conflict transformation.

Specifically, the project aims to achieve the promotion of sustainable peace through improved participation and resilience of communities in Enyandeni Resettlement Scheme of Gwanda District. Through providing activities such as resuscitating community gardens, setting up small irrigation systems, training on healthy harvest techniques the project aims to increase the target communities’ income by working together and promote female and child participation in decision-making.
Integrated food income and nutrition security for Binga district The Integrated Food, Income and Nutrition security programme was developed as a response to the call for proposal by the EC, Zimbabwe office. This project will target vulnerable farmers with access to labour and land in the Binga  district of Matabeleland North Province of Zimbabwe. Binga is one of the most marginalized districts in Zimbabwe, with generalised poverty compounded by external shocks such as droughts. According to the 2010 Nutrition Survey, less than 5% of children in Binga  between the ages of 6-23 months receive the minimum acceptable diet and 30%-34.9% of children between 6 and 59 months are stunted. The 2012/11 Zimbabwe Demographic Health Survey reported that Matabeleland North has the highest percentage of children that are wasted (at 6%) and underweight (at 14%).The overall objective of this programme is to improve smallholder farmer productivity for food, nutrition and income security. The specific objectives are: 1: to develop and implement diversified and appropriate value chains for small holder farmers; and 2: to increase production and consumption of nutritious foods.  This will be achieved through development and implementation of private sector led value chains for income and food security. Value chains will concentrate on dry land and irrigated agriculture focusing on small grains and oil seeds (sorghum and sesame), horticulture (through irrigation schemes and household gardens) and small livestock (fish, goats and poultry). The action’s theory of change is anchored on the fact that facilitating sustainable (private-sector led) access to agricultural inputs and output markets coupled with appropriate extension services will lead to increased production and diversification hence reducing food insecurity and improving nutrition security of the targeted beneficiaries. SNV will be leading the consortium with CAFOD, Environment Africa and CAFOD Hwange as co applicants. SNV will lead on activities relating to specific objective 1 whilst CAFOD will lead on activities relating to specific objective 2. CAFOD Hwange  will lead activities in Binga  district.
Zimbabwe START Ready Drought - Chimanimani Zimbabwe is prone to hazards including extreme weather events such as droughts. Drought is the common hazard that affect a large population of Zimbabwean resulting in widespread food insecurity, loss of livelihoods assets and other negative social impacts. Currently Zimbabwe is experiencing a drought. Through funding from START Ready, to respond to the effects of drought, Caritas Mutare will target the most vulnerable households in Chimanimani District through cash transfers. This intervention will ensure that the affected population will receive support to avoid disrupting copying mechanisms, protect livelihoods, reduce the cost of the intervention and ultimately save more lives.

Caritas Mutare will reach out to targeted xxx households (xxxx individuals) per month with two cash distribution cycles, over a two-month period. As per the National Cash Working Group, Minimum Expenditure Basket, each individual will receive USD $13 per month.
Zvishavane Water Project - Livelihoods Protection and Promotion Zimbabwe To improve food and income security of 6 000 poor and most vulnerable groups in six wards in Chivi District by 2011.
