 Field A) Community Arts Projects (CAP) with support from tdh implements a two-year project to
build child protective and peaceful communities in three districts of urban Harare
Project Metropolitan Province, namely Mabvuku/Tafara and Caledonia/Eastview. The project
summary builds up on first project, IP: 580061, implemented from 17.12.18 to 30.042021, and
(max. 1500 aims at strengthening community, child and youth engagement and multi-actor
characters) collaborations in promoting child protection and peaceful communities. The project is
responding to the problem of increasing cases of child abuse and violence against
children and young people, gender-based violence and teen pregnancies exacerbated
by Covid 19 and effects of lockdowns, limited participation platforms for children and
young people as well as rising levels of extreme poverty by vulnerable
caregivers/parents.
Key activities include training, mentoring of selected child rights club members drawn
from 30 clubs comprising of 700 (420F/280M) aged 12-17 in theatre for development,
child rights, child safeguarding, self-organisation, peace education and gender. The
project uses play and sports for development for mobilisation and all members will
benefit from regular play sessions. 60 caregivers’ supporters of child rights clubs will
benefit from skills training in entrepreneurship and start-up kits to implement income
generating activities (IGAs) for subsistence. Seventy (70) (36F/34M) Youth Network
members aged 18-25 will be capacitated on child rights, participation, peace and
conflict resolution, environment child rights, lobby, and advocacy so that they are
actively involved in initiatives to safeguard rights of children. Various commemorations
such as Play Day, World Peace Day, Universal Children’s’ Day among others will be
commemorated for awareness raising and advocacy. 20 (12F/8M) vulnerable children
will benefit from education assistance and related remedial support.
Key strategies include community mobilisation, capacity building, use theatre, and
sports for development networking, learning exchange visits, commemorations etc.
Indirectly, interventions will reach out to 10000 children. The project will work with
various stakeholders that includes NGO, Local council, and key government
development structures at local level.

Field B) Community Arts Project (CAP) is a child rights-oriented community development

organization (CBO) that is using theatre and sports for development. This approach has
Description enabled the organization to develop a critical mass on knowledgeable children, youth,
of partner and community members now activists driving the child rights agenda. The organization
th
organisation was established on 20 of June 1987 and registered with the National Arts Council of
Zimbabwe. The organization is guided by a board of five members representing
Finance, Legal, Networking and Relationships, Child Rights and Community
Engagement.
The PO has 4 key staff (2F/2M) responsible for project implementation which is led by
the team leader. The organisation also works with 30 community volunteers
(Community Focal Persons) responsible for overseeing club activities as well as
safeguarding.
The core work of the organisation put more emphasis on empowering children and
youth to participate in issues that have a bearing on their lives hence several activities
are implemented with high levels of participation of children and young people.
The vision and scope of CAP has been molded and crystallized by issues emanating
from the community, as well as dedication and commitment from the staff towards the
promotion of children’s rights and community development using the universal
language of theatre and sports. Over the years Community Arts Project has been
Special remarks/reservations:
involved in lobbying and advocacy activities through various platforms. The PO has
more than 28 years of experience in the use of theatre and sports for development The
PO enjoys sound relations with key government Ministries such as – Ministry of Home
Affairs, Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Youth
as well as, Ministry of Women’s Affairs Gender and Employment Creation.
Since its inception, the PO has been implementing projects focusing on empowering
children, youth and communities using theatre and sports to fight child abuse and
 violence against children.
The PO used various child and youth participation approaches such as Youth Media 4
x 4 and the photo-voice.
The children and youth from the organization have participated in various local child
rights initiatives such as campaigns, conferences, and capacity building workshops.
The support given to CAP by tdh since 2005 has enabled the organization to grow,
reach out to more marginalized children and youth and a sizable number of them are
child rights activists responding to children’s issues.
In its work Community Arts Project is a member of the Child Rights Coalition of
Zimbabwe (Zimbabwe National Council for the Welfare of Children is the Secretariat).
At District level PO is a member of the District Child Protection Committee and National
Aids Council. In addition, the organisation collaborates well with other like-minded
organisations and has done work for some corporate companies on various topical
issues such as HIV/AIDS and Gender based violence just to mention a few.
During planning the PO uses information and data collected during implementation
together with lessons learnt to inform planning for next projects. Key stakeholders that
include, community leaders, parents/caregivers and government agencies operating in
the project area are also consulted on issues affecting children. In addition, key
government documents/surveys, development plans and those of NGOs are also
consulted during planning for the project to contribute to various development
processes.
The PO does not have a staff member responsible for M and E. However, a volunteer
provides the services of designing the M and E, plan, tools as well as analyse and
interpret data on behalf of the organisations. The project team together with children
and young are people are responsible for data collection. In all these children and
young people are at the centre of both planning and monitoring implementation of the
project. Regular project reviews are undertaken together with annual reviews with
stakeholders that include children and young people. The results are used to improve
programming.
Current funders of the organisation are tdh, National Aids council, National Arts Council
and Justice for Children’s Trust. The organisation also raises own funds through theatre
performances for the corporate sector. The average annual budget of the organisation
is around 40-50 000 Euros.
Since its inception, the PO has been working around performance and community de-
velopment programs partnering with several local and international organizations that
included UNICEF, National Arts Council, Zimbabwe Women’s Lawyers Association,
Just for Children Trust, Mavambo, National Aids council among others. Community Arts
Projects (CAP) works mainly with children in and out of school through child rights
clubs located throughout its project areas
B1) Community Arts Project has in place a child protection policy, a child safeguarding focal person, a clear
State of child case management system and this is reviewed from time to time. The is also a member of the District
safeguarding
policy
Child Protection Committee, responsible for coordinating child protection issues in the project areas. The
policy is made known to all stakeholders including children and young people. The PO collects
information regarding risks, concerns and violations and inform responses to reduce risks. Risk analysis is
conducted for each activity.
B2) Year of first project cooperation with tdh : 2005

Field C) Zimbabwe has a population of 13,182,908 (ZIMSTAT, 2012) with around 48% of them
being children below the age of 18 years. The country has faced a severe socio-
Description economic and political crisis for the past two decades or so. This sad narrative over the
of the years worsened by informalisation of the economy has reduced the capacity of
problem government to fund key issues such as health, education, and social services to
and context cushion vulnerable groups. The situation has been worsened by unreliable rainfall
pattern, international isolation of the country due to human rights abuses, inconsistent
economic policies, negative impacts of HIV/AIDS among others. The country has one of
the highest unemployment rates in the world estimated to be above 90% (though
government will be quick to dismiss this for political reasons). The ability of Households
to fend for their families has been severely compromised due to poverty conditions. It
should be noted that poverty in the country has a child’s face, for example from the 6.3
children, 4.8 million live in poverty, including 1.6 million in extreme poverty conditions.
Poverty is the common denominator for most of the problems faced by people and it is
the main reason why most of the rights of children are not being realised and make
children susceptible to different forms of violence, abuse, and exploitation.
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates Zimbabwe’s economic crisis, with
disproportionate impacts on the poor and those who are already marginalised (UNDP
Zimbabwe, 2020). Emerging evidence in Zimbabwe already shows an increase in food
insecurity and household financial instability because of the pandemic, with concerning
implications on child abuse, exploitation and violence against children and young
people.
In general, the never-ending socio economic and political crisis has worked to increase
the vulnerability of people in general and children and young people in general.
Zimbabwe ratified the UNCRC in 1990 and has domesticated some of the provisions,
but not in full. Although Zimbabwe has a well-established legal and regulatory
framework to protect children from violence abuse and exploitation, implementation of
existing policies is very weak. The situation of children has been worsened by
government delay in harmonising laws with the new constitution. Financial, human, and
material resource constraints are frequently cited to explain limited prevention activity
on the party of government other key stakeholders. This very sad narrative has led to
increased cases of abuse, violence, and exploitation of children.
Effective strategies for the prevention of abuse should focus on lobbying government for
effective implementation of existing legislation, harmonisation of laws with the new
constitution, empowering in and out of school children, and getting community
involvement in the fight of children’s rights.
The proposed action/action by the PO targets Mabvuku/Tafara and
Caledonia/Eastview Districts of Harare Metropolitan Province. Mabvuku/Tafara
townships were established in the 1950s and have a high concentration of people of
Malawian, Mozambique and Zambian origin who migrated to seek work mostly before
independence. During recent years the suburbs have expanded to include
Caledonia/Eastview, a newly established area with little support from public services.
During earlier years residents of Mabvuku/Tafara were mainly employed as domestics
for the nearby suburbs and of late due to economic situation most are engaged in the
informal trade.
The areas lack basic services such as safe and clean water, electricity, waste
management, schools, health facilities just to mention a few. The areas by nature also
have their share of high incidences of child abuse and sexual exploitation including
gender-based violence. Due to poverty levels most households in the area are finding it
difficult to provide for the children let alone send them to school. It is highly likely that a
sizable number will not go back to school and will be absorbed into exploitation.
The partner PO organisation has been working in Greater Harare Metropolitan Province
carrying out work to promote child protection. The organisation relies on children, youth,
and community caregivers/parents to implement its programmes.
Within the above context, the proposed project intends to address specifically the
following problems:
Problem 1: Ineffective community child protection systems not proactive in
responding to child and youth rights violations, neither on gender-based rights
violations. Key stakeholders in these communities that include children, parents/care
givers and other duty bearers have limited knowledge and capacity on child protection
issues (prevention, detection etc), legislative frameworks, national and international
instruments as well as child abuse response mechanisms put in place by government.
This is worsened by negative cultural beliefs that perpetuate abuse of children in the
name of culture. The measures put in place by government to respond to child rights
violations lack the necessary budgetary support, hence in most cases are ineffective.
This then calls for the prioritisation of prevention measures with priority being
capacitating children to protect themselves and empower them to speak out when
abuse happens. The children protection situation has been worsened by the COVID-19
pandemic with increasing cases of child abuse, exploitation and violence against
children being highlighted for example nationally the country recorded a sharp increase
in teen pregnancies during the COVID-19 lockdown January-February 2021, with at
least 4959 girls failing pregnant, and 1174 cases of child marriages. Emerging evidence
indicates that the COVID-19 pandemic is exposing and exacerbating existing gender
inequalities, with increasing reports of GBV, including domestic violence, child marriage,
sexual exploitation and abuse, violence with girls being the most affected.
COVID-19 response measures that government implemented though noble have had
immediate and long-term implications for women and girls in the country. School
closures disrupted girls’ education and increased the risk of child marriage and early
pregnancy. Steps taken to contain the spread of COVID-19, including quarantines,
social distancing, movement restrictions and other stay-at-home measures have
increased the risks of domestic violence due to forced coexistence and curtailed access
to support services for survivors.

Problem 2 and 4 In the proposed project areas there are inadequate

opportunities/platforms for education, sharing, self-expression and showcasing
talents of marginalised children. This is impacting negatively on their holistic
development due to limited exposure to psychosocial support, recreation and play
opportunities. Play, recreation, peer-learning was also affected greatly by the COVID-19
pandemic that’s affecting development of children. On the other hand, government
expenditure on social services including social amenities for children and youth has
been next to nothing. Play and recreational areas where they are available are in a
deplorable state and not child friendly. Free play areas have been commercialised to
sold by council for housing leaving children and young people with no spaces to play.
Education demands coupled by household expectations lives children with little room to
explore the real world. Though the new education curriculum gives emphasis on sports
and theatre, it has faced massive resistance from teachers due to lack of consultation in
its implementation by central government. In most households’ electronic gadgets have
replaced humans resulting in little time for interaction and socialisation among children
and between children and caregivers. Communities lack the appreciation of play as key
to the holistic development of children hence they do not support play initiatives. This
sad narrative calls for the provision of opportunities/platforms to explore the real world,
play, showcase their talents hence the proposed project which focuses on empowering
children and young people and provide the spaces for them to excel. The project will
promote the right to play highlithing the importance on the holistic development of
childrenas well as a way to fight iddleness amog the youths.. Sports will thus be
promoted and used to discuss critical child rights issues such as HIV/AIDS, health and
hygiene, masculinity and gender equality, drug abuse, entrepreneurship, peace and
conflict resolution and sexual reproductive health rights etc. In addition, sports for
development will also be used to promote life skills such as teamwork, leadership,
resilience, goal setting, decision making, communication among children.
Poblem 3: The never ending socio-economic situation worsend by the COVID-19
pandemic has resulted in decreased incomes and increasing poverty levels
affecting the abilities of families to provide education and other provisions. The
majoirty of the households in the project areas are finding it increasingly difficult to fend
for their families let alone send thie children to schools.They are prioritising food risking
children drpping out of school in the absense of government education support. The
project, acknowledging that education is the responsibility of government will suppprt a
few vulnerable children with education assistance to minimise the risk of them dropping
out of school and be absorbed in risk situations. The target group of the project is all
children but focusing on the most marginalised groups. Equal opportunities are given to
all children, but the project reached out to more girls than boys considering that there
are generally more vulnerable girls than boys. Girls are highly likely to be abused than
boys, most families prioritise education for boys, and girls spend more time doing
household chores than boys. Therefore, the PO considers gender consideration during
planning and implementation, also being biased prioritising girls. For example, more
vulnerable girls will benefit from education assistance as they are likely more to drop out
of school that boys. The proposed project includes priority interventions identified by
children and youth themselves through consultations carried out during the previous
project and in preparation for this proposed project.
Problem 5: In the proposed areas there is generally low capacity by children and
youth in influencing decisions and advocating for their rights and rights of
others. The children in these areas lack knowledge about child rights and this is
perpetuated by traditional beliefs that children do not have the right to challenge adults’
decisions.
The proposed project would like to change that by empowering children and youth with
child rights knowledge, backed up by lobby and advocacy skills to enable them to speak
up for their issues. Platforms will be availed to the children to make this a reality.
To achieve the objectives set, the PO will collaborate with various government
institutions such as Department of Social Welfare, Ministries of Education, Health,
Justice and Sports as well as local government. As a member of the District Child
Protection Committee, the PO takes that opportunity to work closely with other like-
minded organisations working in the same project areas such as Childline, Justice for
Children Trust, Mavambo among many others for coordination and sharing on child
 protection issues. Through the Child rights Coalition headed by the Zimbabwe National
Council for the Welfare of Children, CAP contributes to the advocacy initiatives at
national levels.
Problem 6: Economic activities of vulnerable women disrupted by COVID-19
increasing household food, nutrition insecurity and household incomes. The
COVID-19 pandemic exacerbates Zimbabwe’s economic crisis, with disproportionate
impacts on the poor and those who are already marginalised (UNDP Zimbabwe, 2020).
The COVID-19 related lockdowns disrupted people’s livelihoods as most of the
population depends on daily incomes from informal sector activities with little or no
savings. The government failed to cushion vulnerable people with food or financial
assistance during the national lockdown increasing risks of malnutrition, food insecurity
and household financial insecurity with concerning implications on child abuse,
exploitation and violence against children and young people. The project seeks support
vulnerable women with IGA to revive their economic activities to improve their incomes.
This will enable them to support activities of child rights clubs better.

Field D) During the period 2018 – 2021, Community Arts Project implemented a project that was
aimed at contributing to the reduction of the level of child abuse in the communities of
Results of Mabvuku/Tafara District and Caledonia, Harare, Zimbabwe, through child and youth led
former activism (Peace Ambassadors) and using Drama and Play for behaviour change. The
projects project realised the following key results:
Outcome 1: Proactive community implementing strategies in preventing abuse, violence
and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents.
 90 (54F/36M) vulnerable children aged 13- 17 declared to feel safe, in their
environment out of a sample of 100 (Tafara and Mabvuku community).
 64 (24M/30F) of 95 vulnerable children aged 13- 17 assessed declared to feel
safe, in their environment (Caledonia/Eastview) due to project interventions.
 73 cases of abuse, violence and exploitation were received through community
structures though the said structures were severely affected by COVID-19
restrictions and lockdown and many cases remain not reported.
 144 (57M/87F) children and 84 (32M/52F) young people reported increased
capacities to handle conflicts in a non-violent manner, thus creating a critical
mass of skilled and knowledgeable children and young people promoting a
culture of peace in the community.
 5 child-youth led initiatives set up and implemented by children and young
people ((awareness campaigns, peer-to-peer education, community dialogues,
peace mediators, social media blitz). There has been increased capacities of
children and young people to self-organise and advocate for their issues.
Outcome 2: Marginalised children have improved their personal development and self-
esteem through increased opportunities for holistic development.
 75 out of 95 accessed in the Caledonia/East View (new project area self-
reported that they were happier, have a higher sense of self-esteem despite the
negative impact of COVID-19.
 400 (240F/160M) vulnerable children from participated in regular child rights
club activities (debates, theatre, song, dance, learning visits, sports, and games
etc) in the project areas. However, for the greater part of the period child rights
club activities were negatively affected by COVID-19 restrictions and lockdowns
affecting reach.
 83 (54F/29M) marginalised children benefited from education assistance
attending school regularly, improving performance and retained in school.
However, COVID-19 pandemic affected learning and school were closed for the
greater part of the period. The project reached out to more children since
assistance was in the form of provision of remedial lessons instead of the
formal schooling against the previous target of 45 (27F/18M.
 690 (301M/389F) marginalised children benefited from organised
recreational/play activities once per week in the project areas. This was only
during periods when restrictions were eased.
 60 out of 100 caregivers (Tafara and Mabvuku) and 22 out of the 40
(Caledonia/Eastview) assessed across child rights clubs reached with play
activities reportedly increased play time and interacting with children.
Outcome 3: Children and young people have improved capacity and skills to influence
decisions at local level on issues that affect them.
 The project started a process of consultations with participations of children to
 propose rules and regulations for adoption aimed at safeguarding children in
target areas by local structures/communities. The process was disrupted by
COVID-19 in Mabvuku/Tafara and not concluded. The second phase of the
project will see the process being developed further to possible conclusion.
 9 initiatives were actioned by children and youth to raise awareness on the
protection of the environment and advocate for children’s right to a health
environment through various strategies that included by not limited to media
campaign, clean-up campaign, sports gala, Global Action Month. However,
reach was affected by COVID-19 pandemic.

Recommendation of the Country Coordinator:

The proposed project is in line with the demands of Tdh-International Goal 1, promoting a culture of
peace as well as promoting child and young participation as a cross cutting issue. Furthermore, the
proposed project is in line with regional priorities. The project is highly engaging with children and
youth including duty bearers being capacitated on various interlinked topics such as child rights, child
safeguarding, right to play, peace education thus creating a critical mass of skilled and knowledgeable
community members working to address child abuse and violence against children.
What should be appreciated is that the project provide space for children and young people to share
their perspective with other key stakeholders regarding what should happen to address child abuse
and violence against children. This provides an opportunity for breaking barriers promoting knowledge
exchange between generations. The initiatives by children and young people of leading and engaging
stakeholders agreeing on a multi-actor plan to make communities more peaceful and safer for children
was started during the first phase. However, due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions and lockdown,
the initiative was not concluded and will be followed through this project.
The PO uses various child and youth participation methodologies that include the Youth Media 4x4,
Photo-Voice, Peer-to-Peer education among others. This ensures that all participating children are
given the space to express themselves in creating awareness and advocating for rights of children and
young people. The use of theatre for development and sports as a mobilization tool work to attract
vulnerable children to PO activities where they will meet benefiting interventions. The proposed
introduction of a play bus will ensure the PO reaches out to more vulnerable children in the vast
community.
What should be appreciated is that over the years the PO has helped to mould hundreds of children
and young people into confidence, responsible and empowered citizens.
The PO is a member of the Child Right Coalition and enjoys sound working relations with likeminded
government ministries. This enables the PO to tap into their expertise especially Ministry of Women’s
Affairs Gender and Employment Creation who facilitate gender discussions as well as trainings in IGA.
What is unique with the proposed project is that caregivers/parents’ supporters of child rights clubs will
receive support to grow their IGA. Through improved incomes the benefits will trickle down to their
families and this will contribute to creation of harmony. The caregivers have been very supportive of
the project objectives. Through this project, the PO plans to facilitate improvements of products and
market linkages through the Ministry of Women’s Affairs Gender and Employment Creation.
The country has been affected by numerous political, economic, and social shocks over the past years
and the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the situation providing ground for abuse and violence
against children to thrive. The people’s hope of a better life under the new government is fast fading
away.
Although an evaluation is planned at the end of the project. Due to budget limitations, it was not
possible to factor costs, it will be funded through a budget increase in year two.
The project is recommended for approval.

Fungai Dewere, 17, September 2021, Harare, Zimbabwe

Recommendation of the Regional Coordinator:

The project is related to strategic goal 1 and regional theme on promoting a culture of peace and
peaceful communities in Mabvuku, Harare. This project builds on the last project, IP: 580061, and
aims at strengthening community, child and youth engagement and multi-actor collaborations in
promoting child protection and peaceful communities. CAP continues to be a key strategic partner in
strengthening child protection, child and youth participation through arts, Youth Media 4x4, Photo-
Voice, Peer-to-Peer education. CAP is one of the partners that initially benefitted from the photovoice
training project that Tdh facilitated with another former partner UNISA and has now continued to use
this child participation methodology to ensure children continue to engage with their local community
leaders and the local council.
Together with ZNCWC the project partners will carry out a participatory gender analysis to ensure that
all interventions speak to, and address problems associated with gender inequality and power
dynamics in the communities and also to raise awareness and ensure sensitivity among children and
youth especially in rights violations and areas that are not usually talked about in communities such as
LGBTIQ.
The project is highly recommended.
