Zimbabwe Cyclone Idai Response [CAFOD CI EA11/2019 Contribution 2] Following its landfall in Mozambique on 14 March 2019, Cyclone Idai continued across land as a tropical storm, hitting eastern and southern Zimbabwe with heavy rains and strong winds. The storm caused high winds and heavy precipitation in Chimanimani and Chipinge districts causing riverine and flash flooding which left a trail of destruction including unprecedented loss of life, livelihoods and infrastructure damage. A total of 299 people were killed, 200 injured, 500 missing, 10,000 displaced and more than a quarter of a million impacted [2019 Flash Appeal]. Seven districts were severely affected with Chimanimani and Chipinge being the worst affected. 

Reports indicate that 270,000 people with existing acute levels of vulnerability, have been directly affected across all districts in Manicaland and parts of Masvingo and Mashonaland East provinces. The force of the Cyclone was concentrated in Chimanimani and Chipinge districts, with at least 50% of the population affected. There has been significant damage to crops, livestock and particularly infrastructure including roads, bridges, water installations, power and communication and many homes, schools and community structures have also been damaged. 

The cyclone Idai response is being implemented in the Archdiocese of Harare, Diocese of Masvingo as well as the Diocese of Mutare.  Cyclone Idai came at a point were most of the households were struggling to adapt and cope with the effects of an El Niño induced drought. Thus, to the communities that have been affected this is a double tragedy which makes the affected household more vulnerable as they struggle to absorb the shock.

The Cyclone Idai drought response [CIEA11/19 ] is currently underway and has gone past the first 6 months of the project. This grant is a USD 200,00.00 pledge made to the Caritas Internationalis appeal during the appeal launch. The project has reached to affected people through provision of food, WASH, Livelihoods as well as Shelter.

Sanitation for success: urban and peri-urban comprehensive sanitation - Nyanga As part of the ZIM-14-02 programme, which seeks to contribute towards MDG 7 of halving the proportion of people without sustainable access to basic sanitation in Zimbabwe, this projects seeks to sustainably improve living conditions, health, human dignity, economic productivity and the environment in poor urban and peri-urban areas of Nyanga Town, 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 Nyanga. Successful implementation of this project will reduce the incidence of water-borne diseases. 

Similarly, access to basic sanitation in institutions such as schools is likely to increase children’s attendance and performance. Improvements in the physical environment which will be brought about by integrated and sustainable approaches to sanitation.
Zimbabwe Emergency Food Security Programme, CADEC Hwange A humanitarian response is being proposed in collaboration between the Catholic Church represented by Catholic Development Commission (CADEC) and CAFOD to address the critically low levels of food security for a large number of people in Zimbabwe. 

CADEC and CAFOD propose to: 

1. Scale-up and extend the existing supplementary food supply under the Livelihoods Programme (implemented in Zimbabwe since 2004 by diocesan CADECs and managed by CAFOD) in the districts of Binga, Matobo, Bulilima, Mangwe, Nyanga, and Seke to provide sufficient food per household to enable them to sustain their well-being through the following six months until the next harvest in April/May 2008. 

2. Provide food through diocesan CADECs in Gokwe and Gweru Dioceses (non-Livelihoods Programme areas) where gaps in the present national response for emergency food aid have already been identified. 

3. Provide seeds, fertiliser, associated technical support and a limited number of boreholes to the households in the areas receiving food (points 1 and 2 above).

Community taking the lead in Ending GBV in Muzarabani Communities- working with St Alberts Mission H This  project aims to raise awareness on gender-based violence and influence people’s behaviour and attitudes in communities of Muzarabani/Centenary Districts , working with St Alberts Mission Hospital. In addition this project will seek to challenge negative social norms, cultural beliefs, as well as harmful religious practices that perpetuate gender-based violence in Muzarabani/Centenary Districts.

Gender Based Violence continues to be pervasive in Zimbabwean society. It is estimated that at least one in every three women face violence in their lifetime (UNDP 2017). According to the UNDP (2017) gender-based violence is rooted in negative social constructs of gender that are inculcated at a very early age and are often built upon unequal power relations and unjust attitudes leading to violent behaviours. Patriarchy, male dominance, perceptions of masculine moral authority, social privilege are oftentimes used to justify the perpetuation of violence against women and girls. There are clear links between violence against women and girls, the inabilities of women to fulfil their rights, social exclusion and negative health consequences including HIV infection.  Women living in abusive relationships fail to negotiate for safer sex and those that are living with HIV sometimes fail to disclose their status and access essential health services because of fear. Culture and religious beliefs contribute significantly to the perpetuation of such violence. It follows therefore that tackling harmful cultural and religious norms will significantly reduce violence against women and the proportion of women living in such circumstances. In Muzarabani and Centenary districts, gender-based violence takes the forms of early marriage, failure to retain girls in schools as families prioritise boys education, sexual violence and intimate partner violence. 

Communities will be mobilised to speak out about violence as well as identify actions to lower incidences of violence in their communities. The process of challenging deep-rooted mindsets requires the use of multiple approaches as such, the project will assist survivors by providing referral information on available services in the District and Province.

Integrated food income and nutrition security for Hwange district This project aims to develop and implement diversified and appropriate value chains for small holder farmers, and increase production and consumption of nutritious foods in Zimbabwe.  
The Integrated Food, Income and Nutrition security programme will target vulnerable farmers with access to labour and land in the Hwange district of Matabeleland North Province of Zimbabwe. Hwange 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 Hwange between the ages of 6-23 months receive the minimum acceptable diet The Overall objective of this programme is to improve smallholder farmer productivity for food, nutrition and income security. 
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, horticulture and small livestock. 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 people and communities targeted.
WASH COVID 19 Response Project “Improving Water, Sanitation and Hygiene in Rural Areas of Zimbabwe" The project aims to improve access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation practices and a means to practice good hygiene for people affected by the drought. This will be instituted by enhancing preparedness of the vulnerable population to minimize the spread of COVID-19; through critical social services provision in the area of WASH, including COVID-19 risk communication and awareness campaigns, remain essential and lifesaving. The intervention will enable continuation of health and hygiene promotion, and access to water supply services as well as provision of awareness messages on COVID-19 to rural communities mainstreaming GBV, disability and PSEA. Activities to be carried out include repair of water points/boreholes for safe water provision, distribution of hygiene kits, establishment of hand wash stations which are disability friendly, strengthening and establishment of health clubs, IEC material distribution, strengthening of Rural water and sanitation structures to coordinate, plan and monitor the COVID-19 Outbreak response activities, outreaches on COVID-19,GBV,PSEA and facilitating the establishment of a complaints and feedback mechanism to ensure accountability in the implementation of the whole project.
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.
International Development Enterprises (IDE) - Livelihoods Protection and Promotion Zimbabwe The aim of the IDE component is to increase the production and income levels of 20 smallholder farmer market garden groups through creation of Output Markets for Defined Crops

• Increased household income from agricultural products for 2000 hh
Livelihoods proposal development for Mutare and Mutasa Districts FAO published a call for expression of interest for organisations to work on a Livelihoods and Food Security Program. In preparation for this program CAFOD would like to work with Caritas Mutare to conduct a needs analysis for Mutare and Mutasa Districts, which will lead to design a Livelihoods Programme for the  two districts. 

This is line with the country strategy paper of livelihoods and it replicates the work being done in the Food, Income and Nutrition Security Program in Hwange and Binga Districts, funded by the EC. The 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

The process will involve a needs assessment, workshops with partners and districts stakeholders to gather and validate information for the proposal development. it will also include the actual development of the proposal deocument
Integrated Community Home Based Care - Mashambanzou Care Trust Mashambanzou Care Trust is a registered Private Voluntary Organisation 9/90, based in Harare, Zimbabwe. The aim of the Trust is to care for the poor and vulnerable people affected and living with HIV and AIDS. The organisation offers holistic health care through six interlinked community outreach programmes, which include the Community Home Based Care, Feeding, Choose Life, Orphan Outreach, Care Unit, and the Nenyere Day Care Centre in Mbare. These programmes operate in the poorest high density suburbs of Harare.

The situation for Zimbabwe is such that home based plays a pivotal role in the response to HIV as the overwhelmed public health and welfare system has failed to cope with the demandss of the epidemic.

This project Mashambanzou will be implementing has been designed to:
Strengthen and support the capacity of families and communities to provide psychosocial, medical and material support to people who are poor, living with and affected by HIV and AIDS.
The project will ensure quality of life for the communities and direct beneficiaries through the following:
Facilitate access to treatment and in some cases provide the treatment and care of chronically sick clients in the home and at the palliative care center
Ensure adherence to drugs through provision of continuum of care, psychosocial support, interlinking of programmmes and adherence clinics in the communities
Manage the complications due to ART some of which can be severe, ranging from numbness of feet, OIs , to vommiting and running stomach.
They also give food suppliments as and when its available.
Caritas Mutare Capacity Strengthening Programme This capacity strengthening initiative has been born out of the realisation that there is need to strengthen the capacity of Caritas Mutare as they respond to the devastating effects of Cyclone Idai so that they are able to plan, respond and deliver humanitarian work effectively and efficiently. The capacity strengthening project is not premised on training sessions only or on a set or series of capacity strengthening training activities. The project is a longer-term approach which encourages Caritas Mutare to take ownership of its own organisational change processes. The project is tailored for identification and prioritisation of strengthening of needs in relation to their emergency context and existing capacities mainly linked to the Cyclone Idai response. The humanitarian capacity strengthening framework will guide engagement with Caritas Mutare.

In order to enhance Caritas Mutare’s capacity to implement the current response effectively and efficiently, there is need to have their capacity strengthened in all facets of emergency preparedness and response. The capacity strengthening process will ensure that Caritas Mutare will be positioned to respond to disasters of such magnitude in the future. 

This engagement will build on the work that is already existing/ongoing within the Capacity Strengthening team. This will further build on the EUAV funded PEOPLE project that is in its second year of implementation. The process will also take advantage of Caritas Zimbabwe National and Caritas Harare that are already part of the PEOPLE project. The PEOPLE Project has a focus on 1) Strengthening emergency preparedness and response capacity; 2) strengthening volunteer management capacity; and 3) strengthening peer exchange and learning on emergency response.
Zimbabwe Relief and Early Recovery Programme 2010 - CADEC Gweru During this reporting period, Caritas Gweru responded to food security needs of the most vulnerable households including People living with HIV and AIDS, orphans and vulnerable children, and households headed by people with disabilities, by children or by women.
