These included responding to emerging issues of governance, justice and peace in the individual countries of the IMBISA Region, assisting individual commissions in their formative and operational challenges, improving communication between the IMBISA Desk and other regions like SECAM and AMACEA and effective representation of Justice and Peace issues at the second Africa Synod 2009. The partner would like to hold a follow up workshop bringing together IMBISA J&P Commissions and aimed at coming up with a position paper to give to the Bishops who are delegates ahead of the Africa Synod. During the workshop the participants will also take the opportunity to evaluate the work of the IMBISA J&P during 2008 and to plan for 2009. The IMBISA Secretariat is also in dire need of a generator because incessant power cuts have led to serious disruption of work and have affected the partner’s ability to carry out its coordination role effectively. Part of the grant will therefore be applied towards securing and installing a generator.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Inter Regional Meeting of the Bishops of Southern AfricaCAFODcafod@cafod.org.ukAfrica, regional20000.000020000.0000CAFOD General Funds20000.0000Inter Regional Meeting of the Bishops of Southern AfricaGB-CHC-285776-GSA024CAFODOutcome 1 Church leaders are better able to propose actionable pro-poor recommendations to government.

The management of large-scale emergency programmes by these local organisations (such as Caritas Harare, Caritas Masvingo, Zomba Research & Development Department - ZARDD ) place a great strain on their staff and systems. The implementing partners, frequently has much wider remit than emergency work and many of its staff and volunteers have little or no humanitarian experience. 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 Development Programme is to assist the selected three partners (Caritas Harare, Caritas Masvingo, Zomba Research & Development Department - ZARDD) to be able to prepare, plan and deliver effective humanitarian programmes. This is guided by the vision that “communities affected by disasters have access to faster, better quality assistance so as to save lives and reduce suffering”. This Capacity Development Project takes a distinctly holistic approach in identifying areas needing development and tailoring ways to tackle them. The capacity development approach that will be used is rooted in CAFODs niche of partnership. 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. It will not try to substitute the work of CAFOD’s partners, or undermine their roles and responsibilities.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)CAFODCAFODcafod@cafod.org.ukAfrica, regional8518.211919499.65438518.2119CAFOD General Funds12365.6862CAFOD General Funds7133.9681CAFOD General Funds
