Message from CARE Canada andCARE ZambiaThis year is the 20th anniversary o CARE International

in Zambia. We are honored by the commitment we

have received rom our countless partners over theseyears the Government o the Republic o Zambia,

bilateral and multilateral donors, oundations, individual

contributors, international and local NGOs, civil society,

our own dedicated and hard-working sta, and last, but

urthest rom the least, the Zambian people.

Their collective input, support and partnership has

enabled CARE to support hundreds o thousands o

Zambian women, men and children to cope and overcome

the harsh realities o poverty and exclusion. During

the past 20 years CARE has been at the oreront o

both long-term development initiatives as well as

humanitarian assistance. We have worked tirelessly to

support the eorts o communities and organizations to

transorm the daily lives o the Zambian people.

This book is our way o honoring the extraordinary

courage and resilience o those we have worked with

over the years. It depicts how our work has changed

since CARE initiated its work in Zambia in 1992 in

response to a ood security crisis. The book contains

images o our work, across a broad range o sectorswhere we have sought to contribute to poverty reduction

and social justice.

Over our 20 years in Zambia, more than 3,000 CARE

Zambia sta have implemented an exceptionally wide

variety o development and emergency-response

programs, valued at over US$ 200 million, in all o

Zambias 10 provinces. As we mark this important

anniversary, we commit again to redoubling our

development and capacity building eorts in Zambia or

as long as required, and pledge that CARE Zambia will

continue to work with our many partners towards our

vision o a world o hope, tolerance and social justice

where poverty has been overcome and people live in

dignity and security.

CARE Zambias Rural Livelihoods Program ocuses on creating ood

security by building the capacity o local communities, creating links

between remote armers and markets, distributing ood resources andagricultural inputs and promoting conservation agriculture to protect

Zambias precious ecosystem. Many smallholder arms in Zambia are

located in very remote locations and have little or no access to critical

agricultural inputs such as seeds, pesticides, ertilizer, medication or

livestock or modern irrigation techniques. To bridge this gap CAREs Agro-

dealer project and the Zambia Agro Inputs Support Project developed a

network o agro input retailers through agents and service providers in

order to provide smallholder households with critical agricultural inputs

and technologies at reduced prices.

Barriers to production and marketing or small armers, poor nutritionand health services and requent climate shocks such as drought that

underlie the serious ood insecurity issues that impact Zambias most

vulnerable populations were the ocus or the LFSP, CONASA project, and

C-FAARM which promoted conservation agriculture, crop diversifcation,

dairy arming, providing veterinary training, rehabilitating the rural

inrastructure, counseling on health and nutrition, providing short-term

ood rations and helping communities to address the risks to their

livelihoods. The armers were also empowered to own, lead, participate

and beneft rom air market opportunities by adopting sustainable

agricultural and land management practices over the long-term.

Through its COMACO project, CARE provided amilies in Cham

with sustainable sources o alternative incomes such as arm

incentives or environmentally sound production techniques. Calso been advocating or change through the LAGAFA project;

CARE Zambia has implemented a number o projects related to

governance and urban livelihoods since the mid 1990s. CARE Zambias

governance program has ocused on strengthening community-basedgovernance structures in peri-urban settlements, while at the same time

ensuring linkages with Local Authorities or sustainable service delivery

related, but not limited to water supply, environmental sanitation,

urban inrastructure and microfnance or sub granting. Governance and

livelihood projects implemented by CARE include PULSE, PUSH I and PUSH

II, PROSPECT, CULP, CMI, CGP, NP-PUWSS, PPURSS, SPURRZ, URBAN INSAKA,

C3-COMMUNITY CHALLENGE and STOVES. For example, PROSPECT worked

through representative Area Based Organizations (ABOs) to develop,

manage and maintain basic inrastructure and other water and sanitation

acilities by taking into account the needs o the poor and vulnerable

populations in 13 peri-urban settlements o Lusaka and Livi

The PeriUrban Lusaka Small Enterprise (PULSE) Project started

operations in July 1996 as a micro-fnance program under an

Accountable Grant Agreement with DFID. The project, initiatedby CARE International Zambia, was an eort to fght increasing

urban poverty by improving access to credit by micro and small

enterprises. PULSEs purpose was to establish a sustainable,

autonomous microfnance institution that provides fnancial

services to peri-urban areas o Zambia. The project was

operational in Kalingalinga, Lilanda, Garden, Matero, Kanyama,

Mtendere and Kaunda Square compounds. In April 2001, PULSE

was de-linked rom CARE and registered as an independent

Zambian entity called Pulse Holdings Limited (PHL) and has

since expanded to other parts o the country and rebranded to

Entrepreneurs Financial Centre (EFC). Apart rom PULSE, otherCARE projects promoted village savings and loans (VSL) in STEPS-

OVC and cooperative savings groups in PROSPECT, CULP and PPA.

main was to enable the vulnerable in the society to better manage risk

associated with ood insecurity, destitution and HIV and AIDS. The PPA

consisted o several implementation streams over its fve year liespan.

OVC SUPPORT


50/70

Housed within the health sector, CARE Zambias OVC support dates back

to the mid 90s and has been designed to complement government

eorts in service delivery around education and health. CARE projects:

SCOPE-OVC, SCOPE-OVC, ECD, ELMA, CHANGES and SCORES, have beenmobilizing, scaling up and strengthening community-led responses to

help children in poorly served communities. Essentially the projects train

community teachers, caregivers and guardians in the skills required to

better meet the needs o orphans and vulnerable children. CARE uses

these schools as the entry point into the communities, which makes

the project more efcient and consequently builds strong partnerships

with communities. This approach has also enabled CARE to take a more

holistic view. For example; using the community schools as a base, CARE

conducts health programs such as managing childhood illness, HIV/AIDS

and tuberculosis prevention and treatment, the prevention o mother

to child transmission and home-based care or people living w

Other activities include training volunteer teachers in improved

methods; training parent community school committees i

management, community and resource mobilization; and trainsupport has also been extended to the provision o teaching and

materials. Projects interventions has also involved linking the

to local clinics or counseling, testing, treatment, growth p

CARE International Zambia reugee operations started in 1992 in Maheba Campin Solwezi, North Western Province and beyond this, two more projects wereimplemented. The second project was the Reugee Empowerment Program(REP) operated within the Mwange Reugee Camp in Mporokoso district,Northern Province. CARE International Zambia was responsible or the overallcamp management or 25 000+ Congolese reugees. The third was a projectcalled WEAR which was based in Nangweshi reugee camp-Shangombo districto Western Province o Zambia. The camp housed 24,000 Angolan reugees. Inboth camps, CARE Zambia was responsible or agricultural and natural resources,education, ood distribution and community services provision. Under WEAR,gender violence interventions were initiated that eventually laid the oundationor CAREs ASAZA program. EMOP- This was a year long relie program as aresult o drought in southern province in 2001. CATER was another program thatstarted in 2001 as a result o the recurrent drought that hit most o central and ,southern and western provinces. The project distributed ood to the chronicallyood insecurity households in seven districts. The program had another projectcalled Adding To Food (ATF), which supported the health acilities with essentialdrugs or the under fve children. ATF program conducted on-site screening ormalnutrition to both under-fve children and women. REACH - This was a ollowup program to CATER and was aimed at rebuilding the lost community assets as

a result o the drought. Among the programs promoted was the seed distribution, goat rearing, setting up community based nutrition support groups, promotiono home gardens and building roads and inra structure.

CARE International also implemented an emergency related project in theperi urban areas the frst being the PUSH I which was a ood-or-work projectwhich helped empower women particularly the elderly and widows. These weregraduated into more sustainable small enterprises using the Chilimba groupconcept. Benefciary communities included Kanyama, Chipata and George inLusaka and Malota in Livingstone.

SEXUAL AND GENDER BASED VIOLENCE

CARE Zambia frst implemented SGBV projects in two camps or Angolan reugees were it provided supportto survivors o SGBV and established highly eective mobile courts that were able to prosecute oenders ina much more efcient way than i the cases had been brought to the district courts. A pilot SGBV projectwas then implemented in Chipata and Lusaka districts and developed a successul model or CoordinatedResponse Centers (CRCs), the frst o their kind in Zambia, which serve as one-stop sites where survivorscan fnd medical, psychological and legal support. This program called A Saer Zambia (ASAZA) was thenexpanded to fve other districts namely Kabwe, Kitwe, Livingstone, Mazabuka and Ndola. The supportrom USAID came rom the Presidential Womens Justice and Empowerment Initiative (WJEI) and the U.S.Presidents Emergency Plan or AIDS Relie (PEPFAR). ASAZA developed inormational, educational andbehavior-change communication strategies to help Zambians reect on rights, gender and power; andenvision and adopt new orms o relationships based on equal dignity rather than subordination andviolence. ASAZA also established six Coordinated Response Centres (CRCs), in addition to the two CRCsestablished under CAREs SGBV-1 pilot project. CARE has implemented ASAZA in partnership with WorldVision, Aricare, CRS and IJM, YWCA, WLSA, ZAPSCAN, VSU, MoH and CJF. In the peri-urban areas similar SGBVinitiatives were promoted by gender groups under CAREs PROSPECT program.
