REQUESTING ACT MEMBER: ¨ Lutheran World Federation/Zambia Christian Refugee Service II. IMPLEMENTATING AGENCY & PARTNERS LWF/ZCRS began its work in Zambia in 1968 upon the request of the Government of Zambia and UNHCR to assist in refugee work. It has established a track record for assisting refugees and camp management. It has also been involved in resettlement and repatriation projects including managing the closure of the Ukwimi Refugee Settlement with the repatriation of Mozambican refugees. LWF/ZCRS was also responsible for the establishment of the Meheba Refugee Settlement in 1971 and its management until 1982 before returning in 1996. Today LWF/ZCRS is the lead-implementing partner in the Meheba and Mayukwayukwa Settlements for which this appeal is being made. LWF/ZCRS is also involved in two development projects in the Eastern Province of Zambia at Chipata [RCDM] and Ukwimi. Partners of LWF/ZCRS include the Christian Council of Zambia [CCZ], the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Zambia [ELC-Zambia], the Young Men’s Christian Association of Zambia [YMCA], the Catholic Diocese of Chipata [CDC], Jesuit Refugee Services [JRS], Christian Outreach Relief and Development [CORD], Africa Humanitarian Action [AHA], and Association to Aid Refugees [AAR]. In assisting refugees, LWF/ZCRS also works closely with UN agencies, e.g. the United Nations High Commission for Refugees [UNHCR] and World Food Programme [WFP]. CDC, CCZ and ELC Zambia have not been involved thus far in emergency work. The other partners i.e. YMCA, CORD, AAR, JRS, MSF-France and the UN agencies, UNHCR and WFP are involved in refugee work with LWF/ZCRS at Meheba and Mayukwayukwa in various capacities. III. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION Background A major influx of refugees into Zambia began in October 1999 as a result of the intensification of the civil war between Angolan Government troops and UNITA. This followed the recapture of UNITA strongholds, namely Andulo and Bailundo, by the government forces which resulted in an exodus of refugees from Moxico Province bordering Zambia’s Western and North Western Provinces. This led to a declaration of an emergency by the Government of Zambia, UNHCR, LWF/ZCRS and other partners, and the initiation of a coordinated response and mobilization of resources to assist the newly arrived refugees. LWF/ZCRS signed a letter of Mutual Intent with UNHCR and the government of Zambia ( GRZ) to be involved in the implementation of the emergency project. The refugees arrive through the border points of Mwinilunga, Zambezi and Chavuma in the North Western Province and Kalabo, Sinjembela and Lukulu in the Western Province. In the 11 months between October 1999 and August 2000, nearly 30,000 Angolan refugees arrived in the country. Meheba and Mayukwayukwa each received approximately 10,000, while approximately 10,000 were settled in Nangweshi, Western Province where the camp is managed by CARE. Emergency Relief to Angolan Refugees 4 AFZA-01 The initial influx was projected at 5,000 by the end of December 1999. In response to the emergency, LWF/ZCRS presented an ACT Appeal initially for 6 months, November 1999 to April 2000. A revision and an extension to the appeal was prepared to cover the period March to August 2000. LWF/ZCRS, the main implementing partner for UNHCR in both Meheba and Mayukwayukwa Settlements, is responsible for managing transit border centres at the border points of Zambezi, Chavuma and Kalabo. Kalabo was a transit holding camp for 3,000 refugees for the first half of 2000. This response was undertaken using ACT funds received in for the emergency. The amount received in the previous Appeal by the end of the year 1999 was US Dollars 83,247. This amount excludes items donated in kind. ACT funding has provided support in the areas of health, water, sanitation and administration of the response. Other resources used include UNHCR funds and resources and WFP’s support through the provision of food. UNHCR provided basic domestic items, trucks, and funding for various project supplies and activities in the areas of water, sanitation, and logistics and covered costs relating to warehouse management. GRZ provided trucks and assistance from line ministries. Current Situation The month of September 2000 has seen an unprecedented influx of refugees into North Western Zambia through the border points of Mwinilunga, Lwawu, Jimbe, Zambezi and Chavuma. In the first three weeks of the month nearly 2,000 refugees arrived in Zambia, mainly through Zambezi and Chavuma. On Friday 22 September 2000 an influx of 700 refugees through Lwawu was reported. This was followed by a massive influx of an estimated 7,000 refugees in the 4 days between 23 – 26 September mainly through Lwawu, Mwinilunga and Jimbe. The last few days of the month has seen another 700 refugees enter Zambia through Chavuma. The total number of new refugees entering Zambia in September is estimated at 10,400. This high number of new refugees received in one month is unprecedented and is already causing a serious strain on the resources of LWF/ZCRS and its other partners including UNHCR and WFP. This large influx is a result of fierce fighting between the Angolan army and UNITA. The Angolan army entered northeastern Angola from the Democratic Republic of Congo [DRC] on 17 September 2000. Government forces overran Cazombo and Luvua districts on 22 September and bombarded Kalunda, reportedly on 23 September 2000. Government forces are reported to have overrun all towns in Moxico Province. The Government forces are reported to be blocking some civilians from crossing the Zambezi River on the most direct route from Cazombo and Luvua to Zambia. Those affected have to divert to a longer route and enter Zambia through Chavuma. The hostilities have led to this massive flight of refugees, the majority of whom are children (50%) and women (30%). The influx is expected to continue with the figures expected to reach 15,000 within the next few weeks. An influx through Kalabo and Lukulu into Mayukwayukwa is also expected in the coming weeks. LWF/ZCRS and UNHCR have negotiated with the Government, local authorities and the local chief for additional land to settle new refugees. An additional 100,000 hectares have been secured for Meheba. Site preparation work to open the land for settlements is currently being carried out by LWF. The need to drill boreholes to provide water remains acute. Emergency Relief to Angolan Refugees 5 AFZA-01 In addition to the wave of newly arriving refugees, there are post-crisis needs for the October 1999 – August 2000 influx already settled in Mayukwayukwa and Meheba. These needs include education for the refugee children and the expansion of health facilities in both Mayukwayukwa and Meheba.

  • Corporate Affairs and Business Development
    CORPORATE AFFAIRS AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT THE PROPOSED CONNECTION OF NORTH WESTERN PROVINCE TO THE NATIONAL GRID AT 132kV PREPARED BY THE ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL AFFAIRS UNIT 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the Northwestern Province (NWP) ZESCO Limited supplies electricity to five districts namely Mwinilunga, Mufumbwe, Kabompo, Zambezi and Chavuma from isolated Diesel Generation Stations located in each district. The older districts (Mwinilunga, Kabompo, and Zambezi) have been on diesel power supply for over forty years now. Solwezi and Kasempa are the only two districts in the province that are supplied from the national hydro power grid. Power supply from the diesel power stations is characterized by high operational costs, inadequate capacity, very low reliability and high emissions. ZESCO Limited has therefore long sought to replace diesel generated power supply with reliable and cost effective power from the national grid by connecting all the diesel power stations to the grid. By the year 2000, ZESCO Limited was operating ten diesel stations country wide, but by 2007, four such stations had been replaced by grid supply while two new stations were installed in two newly designated districts. Despite having great potential for mining and agricultural development, NWP generally remains underdeveloped due to insufficient and unreliable power supply. It is against this background that the Government of the Republic of Zambia through ZESCO Limited, intends to connect the 5 NWP Districts still on diesel, to the National Grid at 132 kilo Volts (kV) through a transmission line network from Kasempa T-Off (Nselauke) to Chavuma and linking Mwinilunga to Lumwana. The main objective of the project is to replace the diesel generated electricity with hydro electricity by constructing a 132kV transmission line network which would be linked to the main national power grid.

  • Traditional Environmental Knowledge Among Lozi Adults in Mitigating Climate Change in the Barotse Plains of Western Zambia
    International Journal of Humanities Social Sciences and Education (IJHSSE) Volume 2, Issue 9, September 2015, PP 222-239 ISSN 2349-0373 (Print) & ISSN 2349-0381 (Online) www.arcjournals.org Traditional Environmental Knowledge among Lozi Adults in Mitigating Climate Change in the Barotse Plains of Western Zambia Stephen Banda, Charles M. Namafe, Wanga W. Chakanika The University of Zambia, Lusaka, Zambia [email protected] Abstract: The background to this study had its genesis from the fact that little was known about the role of traditional environmental knowledge among Lozi adults in mitigating climate change in the Barotse plains of Mongu District, western Zambia. The study was guided by the following objectives: i) to find out how communities in Lealui area in the Barotse plains of Mongu District have been affected by climate change; ii) to assess the role of traditional environmental knowledge among Lozi adults in mitigating climate change in the Barotse plains of Mongu District; and iii) to establish what can be done to enhance traditional environmental knowledge in the Barotse plains of Mongu District to mitigate climate change. This research was a case study. It was conducted in Lealui Ward area in the Barotse plains of Mongu District, western Zambia. Mongu is located in Western Province of Zambia. The sample consisted of one hundred and twenty (130) subjects drawn from the target population: one hundred (100) indigenous Lozi adult respondents who utilize the Barotse plains in Lealui Ward, fifteen (25) local leaders like village headmen and senior traditional leaders known as area indunas, as well as five (5) institutions that provide education in environmental sustainability to mitigate climate change in Mongu District.

  • The Mysterious Meaning of Migration in Western Zambia
    NEW ISSUES IN REFUGEE RESEARCH Working Paper No. 78 Social landscapes and moving people: the mysterious meaning of migration in western Zambia Michael Barrett Department of Cultural Anthropology and Ethnology Uppsala University, Sweden E-mail: [email protected] February 2003 Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit Evaluation and Policy Analysis Unit United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees C P 2500, 1211 Geneva 2 Switzerland E-mail: [email protected] Web site: www.unhcr.org These working papers provide a means for UNHCR staff, consultants, interns and associates to publish the preliminary results of their research on refugee-related issues. The papers do not represent the official views of UNHCR. They are also available online under ‘publications’ at <www.unhcr.org> ISSN 1020-7473 Introduction Migration, in different forms, has been an important aspect of all wars and major social upheavals. However, an issue that commentators of displacement situations in Africa often overlook is that a large part of the migratory movement in this continent takes place in times of peace and regardless of violent conflict. This statement does not intend to downplay the disruption and suffering caused by violent conflict, nor the importance of war as a push factor in the decision to migrate. In my view, however, it is not enough to attempt to question the notion of “displacement” by showing that the border between two countries is irrelevant in cultural or ethnic terms. As Malkki (1995) has convincingly demonstrated in the case of Burundian refugees in Tanzania, the feeling of displacement (as a socio- psychological experience more than as a geographical dislocation) can be a very powerful producer of identities and world-views (see also Barrett 1998; Coulter 2001).

  • District of Kaoma, Zambia (Africa)
    District of Kaoma, Zambia (Africa) The City of Nelson signed a Sister City Agreement with the District of Kaoma, Zambia in 2012. The Agreement assists to establish and maintain recognition of each other in a municipal partnership to deepen friendly relations and mutual understanding while promoting cooperation and contributing to the prosperity of both municipalities. This Municipal Partnership agreement assumes the relationship is facilitated in partnership with Women for Change in Zambia; VIDEA in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada and Nelson and Area Kaoma Alliance (NAKA) in Nelson, British Columbia, Canada. Background: Following several years of community engagement in Nelson and relationship building with stakeholders and community members, the Nelson and Kaoma Area Alliance (NAKA), a committee of VIDEA (a BC-based international development agency with 35 years’ experience) has developed a relationship of friendship and solidarity between different partners and stakeholders in Nelson and their counterparts in Kaoma. This relationship, carried out in partnership with NAKA/VIDEA’s Zambia partner organization, Women for Change, consists of relationships between youth and schools, crafters and child- serving agencies. It has also included the exchange of knowledge and information, the visit to Kaoma of three Nelson representatives and the visits to Nelson of two members of Women for Change. In June and July of 2011 a letter requesting consideration of a municipal partnership was prepared by the City of Nelson in partnership with NAKA. Visit to Zambia: In August of 2011 the VIDEA Executive Director, Lynn Thornton, visited Zambia and travelled to Kaoma with representatives of Women for Change to deliver the letter and sentiments of friendship and solidarity from the City of Nelson and NAKA.
