2017 Zimbabwe Programme The Caritas Denmark supported Zimbabwe Country Programme 2014-17 will terminate by end 2017 with three decentralized partners remaining out of the five partners initially involved in the programme. The three partners at local level will contribute to the development goal / main objective through an integrated approach directed at three levels: Strengthening family livelihoods, strengthening rural organisations at community level, and strengthening overall rural development. The corresponding immediate objective at family level is to strengthen joint initiatives taken by poor rural families to pursue their right to food security and to have sustainable livelihoods. The immediate objective at community level is to strengthen community based organisations and emerging networks of organized rural populations in supporting local livelihoods and securing equal access to basic rights through active engagement of local decision makers. The immediate objective at society level is to strengthen community based organisations’ and their CSO partners’ advocacy at national level for the benefit of a sustainable economic growth that will include rural populations on an equal basis. (At national level the two former partners to the country programme at central level, ZCBC and CCJP-Z, are advocating for national reconciliation and respect for human rights, and even though not funded in 2017 by Caritas Denmark, they still play an overarching role in the outreach of the catholic church in Zimbabwe, in the dioces and parishes at localized level.) To achieve inclusive sustainable development by strengthening CSOs in rural areas, and To promote small-holder farmers’ livelihoods through development of sustainable agriculture, establishment of farmers’ organisations and furtherance of an enabling environment for sustainable development through peace and reconciliation initiatives.
