In addition the available rural health facilities are under staffed and under resourced forcing most patients to be attended to in the home and in their communities. It is because of the limited number of nurses that has led to community led home based care and support. Fuelling the further spread of the pandemic are a number of challenges inherent within the communities in Malawi, such as: Stigma and discrimination continues to suppress openness about HIV and AIDS resulting in late treatment care and support as well as defaulting on treatment This project aims at equipping a total of volunteers with sound knowledge and skills in basic nursing at village and community level and how to organise the village savings and loans schemes, and how to provide sensitive and culturally appropriate psychosocial support an palliative care.
Currently the programme has 12, orphans and vulnerable children OVC who need support holistically, and 8, patients needing support. This project is holistic in addressing the major HIV challenges as highlighted by the communities within the Archdiocese of Lusaka, which include stigma. The four specific areas of action are: Improve knowledge, attitudes and practices around HIV prevention; 3. Increase access to services and support; 4. Increase access to entrepreneurial training, savings and lending opportunities.

In order to make the process more effective and efficient, CDTY is planning to convene a general assembly to strengthen the capacity of its diocesan key personnel that is the parish priests, project managers, field officers, parish council members, and religious sisters community through an intensive training in proposal writing, finance management and reporting.
The funding will therefore be increased to cater for the training needs of CDTY. Big Lottery Fund El-Nino Top-Up for Resilient Livelihood activities with Archdiocese of Lusaka Zambia is vulnerable to the effects of climate change because of its geographic exposure, low incomes and dependence on subsistence farming. Like other sub-Saharan countries, it is already suffering from the effects of climate change. There has been a decline in rainfall and as such Zambia is experiencing more frequent and intense dry spells. Analysis from the Pilot Programme for Climate Resilience PPCR shows that the climate change has a large impact on development in Zambia, and the climate variability includes low frequency-high impact, extreme weather events e.
This has affected yields in most parts of the country and has seen an increase in the price of maize staple food requirement in Zambia and common vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and rape. The increase in such essential foods has led to most community members on BLF project to have poorer nutrition which is a disadvantage on their health because they are living with HIV. The project communities who were provided with agricultural inputs maize seed and fertilizer last year , experienced erratic rainfall which led to late germination and therefore resulted into a poor yield in most sites.
The poor yield on the project has resulted in reduced income for most of the communities because it now means that their yield will be for consumption at the household level and selling. If the yield was abundant, the communities would earn some income through selling the surplus. In addition, the poor yield also means a lack of surplus maize seed that can be shared with other communities, thereby inhibiting the scale-up of the livelihood intervention on the BLF project. In order to mitigate both prevent and pre-empt the impact of change in climate, several interventions are hereby proposed to create a more sustainable and resilient approach towards livelihood in the affected communities.
Bishops' Ecumenical Pastoral Study Days This project aims to support the running costs of an ecumenical course for pastoral reflection and analysis in Brazil. The original idea behind the course emerged from a group "Churches of the Poor" during the Second Vatican Council when a group of socially progressive Bishops decided to continue to meet once a year and foster mutual support and commitment to the poor and to a Church model based in service and solidarity committed to social transformation, overcoming inequalities and injustices. As a consequence, since a number of bishops and priests, of various religious denominations, from Brazil and several other Latin American countries have been meeting on an annual basis to co-ordinate their work, provide mutual support and strengthen their actions in favour of the preferential option for the poor.
Since the planning, monitoring and follow up of the meetings has been organised on a more systematic basis with the support of CESEEP, an ecumenical training and research centre in Sao Paulo and long standing CAFOD partner since the s. CAFOD has supported the course with small grants since Each year the meeting is organised around a theme where the Church has a pastoral responsibility to give clear understanding and guidance. Bolivia Civil Society Climate Change Platform This grant to the Bolivia Civil Society Climate Change Platform was established in by key CAFOD partners and supported by a number of international agencies with the aim of providing Bolivian grassroots communities with spaces and mechanisms to engage with issues of climate change.
The remit of the Platform has widened in recent years beyond climate justice issues.

This project, supported by five international agencies including CAFOD, seeks to raise awareness about climate change issues, support communities in developing proposals for alternative models of development and promote the protection of indigenous and campesino rights. This project aims to improve the implementation of housing policy for the poorest families in Sao Paulo through improving community organisation so that families are able to push for their rights to housing.
The project focuses on female and youth headed households. To do this, it will use three strategies: The three programmatic lines of the programme are as follows: This will be done through the monitoring of public housing policy and programmes, raising awareness of the situation of low income populations in Sao Paulo and strengthening local community networks, as well as civil society networks at the national and international level.
It also seeks to influence the Bishop's Conference, congress, the executive and judiciary, and media nationally on issues such as social protection and social rights, electoral and political reform and peace culture. This project is part of the Economic Justice Programme, a partnership between CAFOD, two church-based organisations, and two networks with strong links to the Catholic Church, whose goal is to achieve greater economic justice in Brazil by addressing the key development issues of social rights, governance and human rights with a focus on awareness-raising, participation, social mobilisation and advocacy.
The liaison office aims to facilitate SECAM engagement at AU level, strengthening the voice of the Church on issues of concern for the continent, advocating for policy change and sharing relevant information with regional and national Bishops Conferences to facilitate advocacy. Key activities have included hosting a Bishops trip seeking peace in Burundi, making submissions on natural resources management and silencing the guns, and coordinating closely with CPLOs for effective links between national and international advocacy.
In November the AU liaison office was closed at the same time as the third phase of the Good Governance Project came to an end. SECAM management sought a break between phase 3 and 4, while addressed various internal issues. Further project funding is awaiting the development of a new proposal as well as completion of project closure document and the clarification of outstanding issues from previous projects.
Building a culture of peace through promoting truth-justice-reconciliationand respect for human rights The Central American University UCA in San Salvador is one of 3 Jesuit-run universities in the region. For many decades, these universities have provided a focus for intellectual, moral and social action in support of the poorest sectors of society. Throughout the years of conflict in El Salvador, the UCA was a leading force in the defence of human rights and an outspoken opponent of the state-sponsored military repression and continues today to work for the construction of a society based on Christian principles, equity, justice and democratic values.
The primary objective is to achieve changes in the areas of building a culture of peace, human rights and historical memory. The strategy is to inform, educate and influence the general population through direct activities, publications, audio-visual materials and the media. It will be implemented in 5 indigenous villages of 3 communes, 3 districts of Rattanakiri and Modulkiri provinces.

Building lasting peace in the Great Lakes Region through an interfaith peace campaign The Catholic and Anglican Churches of the Great Lakes Region intend to implement a joint advocacy initiative aiming to build a lasting peace in the Great Lakes Region.
This project will last three years, but the first phase will last a year starting December 1st, According to the Anglican and Catholic Bishops of the three countries, the voices of the poor are not being heard and local populations have not been consulted in the peace initiatives undertaken by various policy makers in the region. The project has three aims: The Catholic and Anglican Churches strengthen their collaboration and 2.
Decision makers incorporate the points of views of local communities in their decisions. The project is implemented in the 5 Darfur region and CRS a lead. Training on agricultural techniques improved farmer knowledge and skills and production.
Regular training on essential nutrition actions increased knowledge retention that improved adoption of health, nutrition and hygiene practices among caregivers with children under 5 and increased dietary diversification. By use of Hazard, Vulnerability and Capacity Analysis HVCA communities have identified common themes such as the impact of everyday disasters on lives, livelihoods and assets, the disproportionate impact on poor and marginalised people, the underlying causes of vulnerability physical, social, economic, environmental , the right to information on risks and risk reduction measures, the need for inclusion in decision-making processes.
Communities developed Community Action Plans CAPs and implemented the CAPs to address communities needs with disaster reduction approach on basic services, animal health services and agriculture. Therefore, phase II will continue to build on these experiences. The Niger government continues to struggle to respond to crises because it lacks capacity in DRR and has weak decentralized systems that are unable to share critical emergency information in a timely manner. While Niger has signed the Hyogo Framework for Action HFA and adopted climate action plans and decentralization policies, local capacity is low, reducing service delivery and citizen participation, particularly of women.
Through this project, communities will be trained on how to identify different disasters, analyse the risks and identify solutions on how to manage, reduce and mitigate them. Communities will also be helped to set early warning systems and committees for sharing disaster information. To achieve this, the project has 3 expected results: A community undertaking for green gold mining has been designed.
The proposed project is basically focused on the capacity building of CAFOD partners on security and financial management. The project will also streamline the financial management tools, processes and procedures applied by CAFOD partners so as to increase stewardship and financial prudence. CAFOD would endeavour to work with experienced and versatile consultants to deliver high quality sessions to the partners.
In Nigeria, capacity building is one of the crucial sectors for the development and actualization of a rubost Faith Based Organisations. Most of the training sessions would not end up in the workshop halls, further consultation, engagement and mentoring of the partners shall continue after the training. It treats girls, boys and young people as active participants in education, and works with teaching staff, parents and local, regional and national institutions, public and private, committed to the development of education in Peru.
Through business training with young people in the town of San Juan de Lurigancho EDUCA hold workshops on business management, marketing and legal requirements that young people use to set up their own business. The partner provides support and accompaniment for the youth they have put through their training programme. EDUCA also work with the local government so that the municipality and the local community can see the value of engaging with young people and the potential benefits of offering them support.
Cafod Albania Operational Plan and organisational wind down and closure. To ensure that the third and final year of the Kelmendi Integrated Development project is completed satisfactorily.

Complete other monitoring and partner support activities in relation to the women's centre project in Bushat, north Albania. Ensure that all necessary steps for the wind down and liquidation of Cafod Albania as a legal entity are carried out in good time. This will be done through the sustainable development of small scale poultry and inland fisheries production schemes.
The project intends to use innovative and locally appropriate approaches and technologies to improve production in both poultry and fish farming, as a way of enhancing communities livelihoods options. It will benefit vulnerable populations, especially women and youth affected by years of conflict in Sierra Leone thereby contributing to the realisation of MDG 1 i. Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger and support youth employment initiatives in the Country.
Most these refugees are in the Lusenda site and others in host families, with multi-sectoral needs. Burundian refugees in Lusenda live in terrible precariousness, which explains their situation of acute vulnerability, lacking almost everything. Despite sporadic interventions by humanitarian actors, UNHCR has not been able to mobilize sufficient funds to help them.
He appealed to humanitarian actors to mobilize sufficient funds to first build shelters and latrines for these refugees, although they have already benefited from emergency shelter assistance for more than one year. As a reminder, shelters built had a maximum duration of 6 months, hence their age, with all the possible consequences on the health of these refugees.
The project aims to identify and address challenges in the implementation of the humanitarian reform agenda at the country level in 5 project implementation countries as well as at the international policy level. The agency participated in the first phase of the NHRP, but did not have an opportunity to play a more central role until this project, which represents an exciting opportunity for CAFOD to raise its influence and profile by leading the project in Ethiopia.
All activities in this response are within the Sudan Refugee response plan and the WASH strategy which is under development. Equitable access to Land for the poor and marginalised The overall objective of the project is to contribute to secure land tenure for poor and marginalised women and youth across 40 communities in Nimba, Lofa, Bong and Margibi counties in Liberia.
To achieve this overall objective, two specific objectives have been developed: To improve the system of land tenure and demarcation in favour of marginalised women and youth; Specific Objective 2: To promote land ownership for poor and marginalised women and youth using conflict-sensitive approaches. The project estimated results include: Increased number of land with title deeds community-led land demarcation for women and youth; 2. Communities, in particular women and youth, are aware of their rights on land tenure and how to access the necessary services to legalise land possession; 3.
Civil Society Organisations are better equipped to support communities on land rights issues; 4. A conflict sensitive approach is mainstreamed throughout formal and informal land entitlement proceedings. This will involve engaging a CAFOD Livelihoods Programme Support Officer to provide additional accompaniment to the diocesan partners, facilitating project setting up workshops, providing continuous monitoring and evaluation, facilitating programme learning and reporting to the donor and coordinating with other sectoral agencies.
Beneficiaries include farmers and their families, women, people with disabilities, administrative detainees and their families, and families affected by house demolition and related issues. Jerusalem Legal Aid Centre JLAC provides special consideration for clients on low incomes, and those who have limited or no other access to legal services, taking up over a thousand cases in a typical year. JLAC also conducts public awareness-raising campaigns on human rights, and advocacy for increased rights with both the Palestinian Authority and the Government of Israel.
This will include start-up workshops costs. The workshop is to support stakeholders and to ensure they are reminded of the detailed content of the project; to note any changes in context which may make any aspects challenging to implement; to ensure they are reminded of the project budget; to note any constraints identified since budget initial design; to ensure all rules around Financial Support to Third Parties are understood.
Full costs under budget. Moreover, CAFOD Myanmar has been developing its new CSP and as a part of this process the local partners have been contributing through informal and formal conversations. This activity will also allow them to get updates on this and feedback to CAFOD on what they consider the most important needs and challenges for coming years. This is also an opportunity to share with the strategic partners on their own organizational strategies and how they feed up into CAFODs ways of working and its proposed ToC. The second day of the workshop will also try to foster a discussion between CAFOD and the partners around the way projects are going and the support needed.
The government is still unable to ensure a transparent and accountable recruitment system that highlights and protects the rights of migrant workers, especially those of women and underage girls who are subject to trafficking, exploitation and rights violations. The outcome of the action will be more women and girl migrant workers are making an informed decision for migration and accessing justice in an enabling legal environment in cases of rights violations, trafficking and exploitation.
CAFOD partners and staff meeting: This five-year CSP comes with a lot of structural changes regarding the internal and external context around Cafod ways of working. The coming workshop aims at discussing the way forward of the current CSP not only with cafod but also with cafod implementation partners who will also take part as they are the key actors on the ground. This will be the opportunity to also to discuss and update Cafod partners about that have come about on the sizing of implementations partners, geographic scoping etc we will also discuss quality standards, CAFOD structural changes, supply chain management and fundraising and the exit process for some partners.
A team building session is also aligned for cafod DRC partners in order to strengthen the ties and service the working climate which is key to staff performance. Some capacity strengthening on different relevant themes such as communication within the Team and how to communicate and sell our work to outside world will as well be facilitated. The actual budget will be covering different charges related to partner traveling, accommodation and functionalities related to the workshop. There is huge logistical cost that will be impended to cover all the travel expenses of the staff and partners coming from elsewhere.
The Working Group is promoting dialogue and consultation between Caritas agencies in the Sahel Region and members of the Caritas confederation engaged with the region, for the development of coordinated programmes. The project BRA seeks to contribute to the socio-economic integration of vulnerable groups through the reduction of poverty and environmental degradation and through strengthening civil society in south-eastern Para state, north east Brazil.
Please see BRA for more information. The key costs covered in this project BRA are as follows: The prolonged drought in the region resulted in water and pasture shortages, food insecurity situation and worsening health and nutrition status of vulnerable people. This is phase 2 of the same project where CAFOD will support the same partners for a period of 12months.
In this phase CAFOD will support partners through facilitation of grant start-up project, carry out a research comparing and responses, documenting lessons learnt, timeliness, perceptions and perspectives on how stakeholders responded, facilitate half yearly review and planning meetings peer review, process review and identify milestones.
The prolonged drought in this region resulted in water and pasture shortages, food insecurity situation and worsening health and nutrition status of vulnerable people. The crisis was exacerbated by the failure of the October-December short rains. In February , the Government of Kenya declared the drought a national disaster and appealed for international support to save the lives of vulnerable people threatened by drought.
CAFOD and partners will work through existing humanitarian forums both at national and the County levels to maximise available support. CAFOD shall also encourage partners to collaborate with other stakeholders to avoid duplication, failure to reach people in need , encourage partners to work with existing village structures, local administration and community groups and church leaders in implementing the interventions.
Cafod will support partners to achieve the outcome below; Caritas Isiolo; -Increased access to food for households through cash grants food vouchers -Improved access to life-saving food though Unconditional Cash Transfers HHs and food distribution HHs - Increased household income for HHs through Cash for work - Enabling environment for emergency responses is created in 4 locations through stakeholder coordination and peace building initiatives.
Cambodia emergency response to a massive deportation of migrant workers at Poipet Cambodia-Thailand This project has the objective to fulfil the basic emergency needs for food, transportation, temporary shelter, and latrines for massive number of migrant workers who are deported from Thailand with high consideration to address women and children needs at Poipet international Cambodia-Thailand border.
Caritas Cambodia's strategies involves direct provision of food and water as well as construction of temporary shelters, and latrines for people who are still waiting for government trucks and buses to send them home. Caritas Emergency response team and volunteer around 25 people are deployed to respond at Poipet dropping point. Cambodia Programme framework workshop As the Cambodia strategy paper has been approved, this workshop is conducted to bring Cambodia partners together to consult on programme framework, in response to the strategy.
The purpose of the workshop is to: Capacity Building and Information for Civil Society Organisations, Paraguay The Document and Research Centre CDE plays an important role in producing and disseminating information on the social, economic and political reality of Paraguay, while at the same time building the capacity of rural and urban civil society groups. The CDE is a source of resources on issues such as: The newletters Informativo campesino and Informativo laboral are the two publication that disseminate CDE analysis and information gathering.
Radio programmes are also produced and transmitted by 22 community radio stations. The work on producing and collating information, together with informed analysis of current issues, re-inforces the capacity building of the civil society groups they work with. This information is then used by these groups to increase their understanding and subsequently increase their ability to participate, monitor and pressure the authorities on issues such as land rights.
IDECA has a long history supporting indigenous communities in Puno, mainly in the struggle to promote their culture identity and defend their individual and collective rights. This project is the continuation of a one-year project with IDECA April to March to support the Aymara community of Condor Ancochahua to build their capacity to manage water resources in their territory as well as to strengthen their understanding of individual and collective rights. This new project cycle foresees to consolidate training on participatory water monitoring and support the creation of community-based water monitoring committees.
It is intended that communities would use the scientific information generated through the project to lobby state authorities for a more transparent and appropriate use of water resources. A radio programme to strengthen the recognition of collective and individual rights of indigenous peoples of Puno, and particularly of those from the community of Condor Ancochahua, is also a a key component of this project.
This is to foster the participation of community members and leaders in actions seeking to protect their water resources and to improve their living conditions more broadly. Capacity building for Livlihood partners and strategy development This project is created to cater for an operational budget for Livelihoods strategy development and capacity building for implementing partners. The second workshop will then be organized for implementing partners, and its meant for partners to agree on programme "Theory of Change". Other activities to be covered by this project will include the evaluation of CDO projects in Maban and Renk, the holding of stakeholders meeting with CDO and travel expenses for the upcoming resilience workshop in Kenya organized by Trocaire.
Following a consultation process, CCFN identified that their greatest humanitarian capacity development need was logistics. Cross Cutting security etc. A follow up visit will take place in late March to check progress against the action plan and identify any outstanding tasks. The first concerns the formation of Diocesan Justice and Peace agents in matters relating to the prevention and combat of premature marriages, which includes the change of cultural norms that lead to this practice; and the second objective is to contribute to active, conscious and responsible presence based on Christian ethical values to support communities in reducing abstention in electoral lawsuits through the preparation and training of Justice and Peace agents as a form of consolidation of Peace and democratic growth through a responsible and active participation in the municipal elections of and preparation of the General of As part of building partners capacity on compliance and internal systems the OD assessment is a framework used to improve the organisational performance.
These thoughts have been put together and will be implemented with CAFOD monitoring the process closely. Capacity Strengthening and Institutional development of Caritas Diocesan. This is the third phase of the IDCS project supported by CTP, the first phase of project covered the national office finance staff training on Quickbooks and the installation of the Quick books system for the national office and the diocese of Tambura — Yambio, in addition to training of national staff in the different fields such as communication, program and the MandE, the second is mend to cover the installation of QuickBooks System for the two dioceses Yei and Juba which has not commence due to delay of funds and the comments of the facilitator in his organization.
This third phase project which is now going to be supported by CAFOD -Trocaire in Partnership would cover the training of staff in both the national office and the dioceses and development of the number of policies as it has been stated above, carry assessment in the dioceses and the national office on the capacity of the staff and their needs Total Project Budget: To continue to fulfil its vision in Zambia in a coordinated and strategic way, the Bishops conference in , developed a Strategic Plan, which will run from up to The new Strategic Plan captures the overall impact and expected outcomes that ZCCB wishes to see among all the people of Zambia, particularly those living in poverty.
To successfully implement its ambitious Strategic Plan as well as to enhance the capacities of management and compliance with government requirements of accountability and transparency, ZCCB has reached out to its partners for support. This project will therefore support ZCCB by strengthening the management systems and skills that will support the implementation of the strategic plan.
This will be achieved through: Review of key policy documents integral to the successful implementation of the strategic plan 3. Caritas Africa has prioritized work on institutional development and capacity strengthening in its Strategic Framework Document: The strategic orientation sets out five objectives as follows: Develop a regional institutional development and capacity building strategy in collaboration and with the support of Caritas Internationalis.
Roll out Caritas Internationalis Management Standards and ensure their compliance and monitoring. Encourage peer support and peer-learning for capacity strengthening. Identify the needs of Member Organizations and develop a targeted accompaniment programme. The expected outcomes for these objectives are detailed out in the Strategic Framework Document of Caritas Africa and would guide efforts at operationalizing the objectives as the key deliverables.
Towards these end, CA has already established a Working Group whose membership is drawn from selected Member Organizations and the terms of reference of the Working Group was approved by the Regional Commission. A detailed road-map on IDCS was further developed by the Working Group as an operational framework to deliver the key outcomes. Following this, Caritas Internationalis provided further support to CA to develop this strategy that would guide partnership building and cooperation for the realization of the IDCS road-map.
Capacity Strengthening Project The proposed project is designed to continue with the capacity strengthening of Caritas Sierra Leone, using the Road-Map. Please see below for the summary from BRA The civil, political and human rights of indigenous peoples are seriously threatened in Brazil. In , there were 4, cases of violence against indigenous people, and indigenous deaths from violence reported since In , 23 cases were reported inciting violence against indigenous peoples in the national media.
Several legislative proposals are proposed that threaten indigenous constitutional rights such as the PEC which proposes to transfer authority for land demarcation to the executive, and Bill which proposes mining in indigenous lands. In the region of Rio Solimoes experienced serious violations of indigenous civil and political rights, including electoral coercion, denial of participation and autonomy in choosing representatives in spaces of social control, and 90 cases of misappropriation of benefits and personal ID cards. At local level, indigenous leaders, communities, and organisations fear reprisals and lack knowledge, capacity for dialogue and autonomy to lobby and advocate for their rights, and public agencies are slow and negligent in their role to implement, monitor and protect indigenous rights.
This will be achieved via three key activities: This project builds on Caritas' Asia's regional Anti-trafficking programme documented under GAS that began in Many Caritas agencies throughout Asia are working to prevent human trafficking and promote safe migration. This project will enhance the capacity of Caritas Asia member organisations MOs currently working on, or concerned with, human trafficking issues in their respective countries.
The project aims to strengthen the national programs of Caritas MOs through regional and sub-regional needs-based training and workshops, sharing of experience and expertise across the region, and by strengthening networking and advocacy work. Caritas Asia regional anti-trafficking programme old project file Human trafficking involves transporting people away from the communities in which they live and forcing them to work against their will by means such as violence, deception or coercion.
Men, women and children in Asia are trafficked for various purposes including sexual exploitation, domestic, agricultural and fishing work. They are trafficked within and between countries in the region, as well as beyond to destinations such as the Middle East. The project will also directly support two national level MO initiatives that promote the prevention, protection or prosecution of trafficking cases.
With this additional capacity, these 89 FFS will independently practise lessons learned from MFIII, including effective operation of Farmer Field Schools, active engagement with local government authorities and greater dissemination of learning within their communities by June Caritas Brasileira Venezuela Emergency Response Since , the impacts of the political and economic crisis in Venezuela have intensified resulting in increased violence, poverty and a persecution of social protest affecting hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans.
In July , there were an estimated , Venezuelans in Colombia, 40, in Trinidad and Tobago, and 30, in Brazil in various migratory situations, including refugee status. Although the cross-border movement of Venezuelans has increased since the end of , this further intensified when Colombia placed more obstacles to the entry of refugees into the country.
CAFOD Programme Partnership Arrangement
Families with small children make the journey for days on a dangerous road. In , President Michel Temer signed a decree recognizing the "vulnerable situation" in Roraima. There has been a measles outbreak alert and overburdened health services: Refugees including young women and children are exposed to high risks of xenophobia, targets of violence, and human trafficking and slave labour through illegal actors. Sanitation and hygiene are also key needs due to lack of sufficient toilets and sewerage network in shelters, and many lack access to basic food provision.
Many staff have been working on a voluntary basis over the past year and FONGTIL has been limited in its key role to enable civil society to engage in local and national development processes in Timor Leste. The epicenter was registered about 27 kms from Muisne on the NW coast. UNOCHA Sit Rep 8 2nd May reports The number of casualties increased to and health assistance has been provided to 51, people 4, injured during the first 72 hours of the emergency.
The number of people in shelters has decreased to 22, Caritas Ecuador will reach HH 3. The project will last 12 months until 30th April The management of large-scale emergency programmes by these local organisations place a great strain on their staff and systems. There is therefore need for much greater investment to develop and reinforce permanent local capacity to prepare for and respond to emergencies. The aim of the Humanitarian Capacity Strengthening Programme is for Caritas Gokwe to be able to prepare, plan and deliver effective humanitarian programmes Humanitarian capacity strengthening is not a one off training or programme of capacity strengthening activities, it is an approach, designed to effect sustainable organisational change over a longer period of time.
This Capacity Strengthening Project takes a distinctly holistic approach in identifying areas needing development and tailoring ways to tackle them. The approach has the following characteristics: Understanding of Humanitarian Capacity: A holistic understanding of humanitarian capacity, this captures leadership, programme skills and knowledge and systems and support sectors.
Organisational commitment and ownership: Required is commitment from and involvement with the highest levels of leadership such as the Bishop or Board. The organisation must be open to reflecting on their strengths and weaknesses and creating space for organisational change. A Humanitarian capacity development officer will work closely with Caritas Gokwe. The Officer will support the organisations to identify and prioritise their capacity development needs in relation to their emergency context and their existing capacities.
The HCD Officer will support the partner to identify their priorities, to inspire, motivate, advise and encourage them to create the change. The capacity development journey is characterised by trust, collaboration, self-reflection and peer support. The path Caritas Gokwe takes will have 5 key stages. The methods include accompaniment, peer support, self-assessment, strategy, policy and systems development, emergency simulations and on the job training. This is rooted in local ownership, choice and commitment by the partner.
The project aims at facilitating, empowering and enabling hence desisting from imposition or partner manipulation. Caritas Harare Bridging Fund The proposed project aims at strengthening and sustaining the results achieved under the three year Sanitation for Success project implemented in Murehwa District. The project will focus on waste management, recycling which holds a direct link to the second result area of a cleaner, safer more functional environment. It is anticipated that the waste management and recycling activities proposed will lead to income generation for the young people involved and that they will improve the environment through waste collection and clean energy generation.

Diversity of humanitarian needs as well as a more complex operating environment have created new challenges but also new opportunities with new non-traditional humanitarian actors becoming involved and innovations improving service delivery in an emergency context. This is the reason why preparations are under way for the first World Humanitarian Summit in The Summit will set the agenda for work beyond to make humanitarian action more effective, coherent and inclusive to respond to the people we serve.
Our members on the ground and the local Church are unique actors in the humanitarian community in that they are rooted in the local community reaching out to people in the most remote parts of the world. When a disaster strikes, local actors, mostly the Church grass root organizations are the first to respond to the affected population. However, this unique work is often not properly recognised and reflected in the broader international humanitarian community.
Caritas Internationalis is commissioning the development of a position paper to present the unique work of Caritas prior, during and after an emergency including the way it influences international policies and practices. The position paper will facilitate discussions leading up to the World Humanitarian Summit and to the Summit itself emphasising the unique role of faith-based institutions and the local Church in humanitarian action and recommending a series of actions to rebalance the humanitarian system to better include and engage with and cooperate with local actors including faith-based organisations.
