First Edition of the Caritas Zambia Bulletin

First Edition of the Caritas Zambia Bulletin

Editor’s Note

I am delighted to introduce this first edition of the Caritas Zambia bulletin, a publication that keeps you in touch with news and developments which relate to Caritas Zambia and its work. This particular edition is an exciting one for us as it brings a new dawn in that 2018 marks the beginning of our new strategic plan for the next five (5) years.

Caritas Zambia acknowledges the crucial role of the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops, who support its work and ensure the success of all its focus areas. 2018 is a special year for Caritas Zambia as it marks the beginning of a new strategic plan (2018 – 2022). The Caritas Zambia strategic plan, through the support of the Conference and the participation of our diocesan partners, was developed in line with the Vision and Mission of the Conference. As we begin this year and this new Strategic Plan, Caritas Zambia is focusing on issues that are not only relevant at the National level, but also at the local community level.

Special thanks go to Ndola, Livingstone, Mpika, and Lusaka, Kasama, Kabwe and Chipata dioceses for their support in actualizing this plan. Also, Special gratitude and thanks go to all the Cooperating Partners that provided both financial and technical support for the process. These are Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), Catholic International Development Charity (CAFOD), Irish Aid and Diakonia. Caritas Zambia will for a long time appreciate the support these organisations have continued rendering. Last but not least, many thanks go to the Caritas Zambia staff who invested their time and effort. Their cooperation and hard work throughout the process was outstanding.

Finally to you our readers, we say thank you for your continued support and constant feedback you give us. We hope you find this first Edition of our 2018 bulletin enlightening.

About Caritas Zambia

Caritas Zambia is a Catholic Organisation that is an integral structure of the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB). The Conference of Bishops is a permanent grouping of Bishops of a given nation or territory that jointly exercises certain pastoral functions on behalf of the Christian faithful of their territory. This is done for the sake of effective evangelisation. To promote the principle of the common good which the Church offers humankind, especially through forms and programmes of the apostolate which are fittingly adapted to the circumstances of the time and place, is the role of Bishops.
