Action by Churches Together (ACT) Appeal - Zambia Assistance for Angolan Refugees - AFZA92 Revision 1 Appeal Target : US$ 2,931,018 Geneva, 23 May, 2000
Balance Requested from ACT Network: US$ 890,765 The ongoing war in Angola between the government soldiers and the UNITA forces and especially in the Moxico province which borders with Zambia continues to cause influx of refugees into the Western and North Western Provinces of Zambia. The original appeal had estimated 5,000 new refugees crossing into Zambia between September and December, 1999 but instead the number rose to over 15,000 by the end of the year. The revision of this appeal should have taken place before the end of April, but because collection of information and data by the implementing member, LWF/ZCRS took longer than expected, the revision was delayed. The completion date of the appeal is being extended from the original date of 30 April 2000 to 30 September 2000. The main reason for the extension is the increase in the number of new refugee arrivals. It is expected that the influx will continue until the fighting stops and peace is re-established in Angola. LWF/ZCRS remains with the responsibilities of managing 8 transit centers and 2 settlement camps with a population of about 47,000 refugees. The response of the LWF/ZCRS in this emergency will include the following activities; Food distribution Shelter / Infrastructure Water & Sanitation Health & Nutrition Education Community Services Transport of refugees to the camps Domestic / Household Support Summary of Appeal Targets, Pledges/Contributions Received and Balance Requested US$ Total Appeal Target(s) 2,931,018 Less: Pledges/Contr.

Thor-Arne Prois ACT Coordinator REQUESTING ACT MEMBER Lutheran World Federation - Zambia Christian Refugee Service (LWF/ZCRS) IMPLEMENTING AGENCY 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 in camp management. It has also been involved in resettlement and repatriation projects such as the Ukwimi Zambian Resettlement Scheme. 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), Africa Humanitarian Action (AHA), and Association to Aid Refugees (AAR). In assisting refugees, LWF/ZCRS also works closely with UN agencies such as World Food Programme (WFP) and United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR). DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION Background Refugees from Angola began to arrive in Zambia in increased numbers in October 1999 when the numbers rose from 100 per month to over 300 per month. From late December 1999 through January 2000, the figure rose to over 1,000 per week, the highest influx in recent years. During March and April 2000, the influx has averaged approximately 350 per week. Reports from Angola suggest that renewed and intensified fighting may occur which will contribute to another major influx into Zambia. The major cause of this influx is renewed and intensified fighting between UNITA forces and Angolan government soldiers. Many of the refugees have come from Moxico Province which borders the Western and North Western Provinces of Zambia. In late December 1999, UNITA was pushed from its military and political headquarters at Jamba in extreme southeastern Angola. The government forces have regained many of the UNITA held towns, while UNITA has responded with guerrilla tactics. Civilians have fled from bombing and shelling of their communities, and from forced military and other conscription. Refugees have arrived through several border points including Kalabo, Sinjembela, and Lukulu in the Western Province, and Zambezi, Chavuma, and Mwinilunga in the North Western Province. In response to this influx, a meeting was held between LWF, UNHCR, GRZ and other partners in October 1999, during which it was decided to mobilise resources to assist the newly arrived refugees. A letter of mutual intent to implement the emergency project was signed by LWF for 5000 refugees. Transport vehicles were mobilised from UNHCR, LWF, and Government Disaster Management Unit to transport food and non food items to the refugees, who had been temporarily sheltered at transit centres. Commercial trucks were used to transport refugees from transit centres in North Western Province to Meheba Settlement and from Kalabo and Lukulu to Mayukwayukwa Settlement in Western Province. Initially, the influx was projected at 5,000 by the end of December 1999. The actual figure, however, was triple. During this phase, UNHCR and LWF obtained initial funds to cover milling charges of maize, basic domestic items, water and sanitation, emergency healthy kits, supplementary drugs and transportation costs. With floods having cut off road transport between Mongu and Kalabo, relief supplies and refugees could not be moved. UNHCR contracted WFP to airlift refugees from Kalabo to Mongu. An airlift operation moved 2,293 refugees to Mongu from Kalabo and onward by land to Mayukwayukwa, using both hired transport and LWF, UNHCR and GRZ trucks. By the end of February, 6,337 refugees had been moved to Mayukwayukwa. A total of 2,837 remained in Kalabo. The population of Mayukwayukwa swelled to more than 10,500. In North Western Province 4,612 refugees have been moved to Meheba from the transit points of Zambezi, Chavuma and Mwinilunga, bringing the total population in Meheba to 36,230 More refugees continue to arrive on average of 10 per week at Kalabo in Western Province and more than 300 per week at the transit centres in the North Western Province. Total influx is expected to reach 10,000 in North Western Province and 15,000 in Western Province by June 2000. The number of new refugees actually arriving is a function of the environment in eastern Angola. An ACT Appeal was made for the critical period of 6 months: November - April 2000, with the first initial stage of 3 months ending in February 2000. This revised appeal covers the period December 99 to September 2000. LWF/ZCRS is currently the main implementing partner covering Kalabo and Lukulu transit centres in Western Province, prior to relocation to Mayukwayukwa. In North Western Province, LWF is responsible for Mwinilunga, Zambezi, and Chavuma transit centres, prior to relocation to Meheba. Basic assistance includes food from WFP, domestic household support items, water and sanitation, health and nutrition, shelter/infrastructure, community services, administrative support and transportation. The new arrivals have been recognised and offered initial refugees status by Government on a group basis "en masse" or "prima facie" basis. Current Situation Angolan government forces have continued their drive to dislodge UNITA forces from towns it previously occupied in Cuando Cubango Province and the southeastern corner of the country, bordering Namibia and Angola. As the government offensive continues, especially in Moxico Province, more refugees are expected as government forces continue to carryout aerial bombardments. UNITA continues to forcibly conscript young men and to conscript others for labor and other services. Since the major influx in January, the influx has averaged a few hundred per week. As the situation in eastern Angola remains volatile and uncertain, the influx is likely to continue and could dramatically increase. Impact on Human Lives Recent reports continue to indicate that both UNITA and government forces, desperate to recruit more combatants, have been targeting young men aged betweeen 10 and 16, while young women of a similar age are also being forced into service. More than 2.5 million civilians are reported to be internally displaced in Angola. The situation in central, eastern, and most recently, southeastern Angola is described by international humanitarian agencies as a "humanitarian disaster" with respect to basic needs of food, medical, shelter, water, and sanitation. OCHA reports have emphasized the deteriorating condition of civilians in Angola. The continuing conflict has cut off much of Angola from humanitarian assistance, contributing to the increased movement of refugees into Zambia. The in-coming refugees travel a long distance from Cazombo, Kalunda, Lumbala, Ng'uimbo, and most recently, Jamba. The refugees, often lacking food, are reported to be in poor health and exhausted when they arrive in Zambia. The Government of Zambia has insisted that the refugees be immunized and medically screened at entry points. ZCRS has obtained vaccines from UNICEF for immunization, while MSF-Holland is assisting in medical screening in the Western Province and government staff assists in Northwestern Province. With the current economic difficulties facing Zambia, most hospitals and health centres in the refugee-impacted areas have run out of basic drugs. According to UNHCR emergency indicators, the situations at Meheba, Mayukwayukwa, and Kalabo are still in the emergency phase. Mortality rates, the nutritional status of children, the provision of food, and water quantity and quality fall within the emergency range. GOAL The major goal of the project is to alleviate human suffering through the provision of basic needs. By meeting these basic needs, the emergency phase will evolve to a care and maintenance phase. In order to achieve this objective, the refugees are being relocated from the border transit centers to established settlements.

Government medical staff, MSF/H, and MSF/F will continue to conduct medical screening and vaccinations prior to relocation to the settlements. Food from WFP is being provided at the various centers. Sanitary facilities such as pit latrines and rubbish pits have been put up at transit and reception centers. Collapsible water containers have been distributed to the new arrivals while plastic sheeting has been provided. Water bowsers will be required to facilitate provision of potable water, while more shallow wells and boreholes will need to be dug. Location for Proposed Response LWF/ZCRS is the main implementing partner for the Local Integration Assistance to Refugees Project in the Western and Northwestern Provinces. The project was originally intended to implement the repatriation of Angolan refugees but has shifted to a focus on resettlement. LWF/ZCRS is responsible for the refugees in Meheba and Mayukwayukwa and for the transit centers at Kalabo and in the Northwestern Province. CARE International is the lead agency at the new camp at Nangweshi. IOM was responsible for the transfer of the refugees from Sinjembela and its surroundings to Nangweshi. MSF/F is providing medical assistance in the border areas in the southwest while MSF/H continues at Kalabo and Nangweshi. Meheba has absorbed 4,453 refugees and Mayukwayukwa 3,662 since October 1999. Meheba with a total area of 720 square kilometers now has a total population of more than 36,000. Mayukwayuka with an area of 12 square kilometers has a population of more than 10,000. Mayukwayukwa has been allocated an additional 1,000 hectares by the Zambian government and local authorities. Meheba can take an additional 10,000 refugees, while Mayukwayukwa can take up to 20,000. Nangweshi's capacity is 20,000. There are currently 8 transit centers and reception locations: Sinjembela, Lukulu, Kalabo, and Mayukwayukwa in the Western Province and Chavuma, Zambezi, Mwinilunga, and Meheba in the Northwestern Province. In all these areas, government local authorities and churches have been rendering assistance to refugees. Current Security Situation Renewed fighting between UNITA and Angolan government forces has been raging since the breakup of a government of national unity in 1998. UNITA's resolve to wage an insurgent war against the MPLA government led to the latter's attempt to wage a protracted offensive on UNITA strongholds of Andulo and Bailundo in the Central Highlands. First to fall was Huambo in 1998, followed by Bailundo and Andulo in mid-October 1999. Government successes in these strongholds were followed by the fall of Lumbala Ng'uimbo and Jamba, the long established UNITA headquarters on December 24, 1999. Government forces continue to pursue UNITA forces with continued bombing raids, sometimes hitting civilians. UNITA is alleged to have urged their family members to seek asylum in Zambia while they remain behind to regroup and to carry out counter offensives to recapture lost ground. This may lead to more refugees crossing into Zambia from towns such as Kalunda and Cazombo in Moxico Province. DESCRIPTION OF TARGETED ASSISTANCE Basic Food Assistance Basic food items consisting of the WFP food basket of maize, beans, vegetable oil, and salt will continue to be provided for 25,000 beneficiaries, including 23,000 for general distribution and 2,000 for supplementary feeding programs. Rations are maize 450 grams per day, vegetable oil 20 grams per day, beans 120 grams, and salt 10 grams. HEPS (high energy protein source), produced locally, is also available for malnourished refugees, with a ration of 180 grams per day. Food is stored at Meheba for onward transport to the entry transit points in the Northwestern Province. Mongu is the storage point for food for Kalabo. As LWF/ZCRS and UNHCR trucks are being used to transport refugees from entry points to the settlements, hired trucks will be used to transport food when the need arises. Maize will be ground on a commercial basis at K3,000 per 50 kg bag in the settlements. A total of 40,500 x 50 kg bags of maize are expected to be ground from January - June 2000. Similar arrangements will be made in the second half of the year. Two Rubb Halls have been donated by Norwegian Church Aid and are in use at Mayukwayukwa for food storage. At Mayukwayukwa, four grinding mills are currently operating. One was recently provided by WFP. A commercial mill has also been established. Proceeds from the WFP and LWF mills are handed over to women's and men's groups for use in community projects. Transport - Refugees New arrivals are transported from transit centers to the settlements using LWF/UNHCR, hired, and government trucks. In the case of Kalabo, which is now inaccessible by road, a boat will be used to transport refugees on the Zambezi River to Mongu. Plans are being made to relocate these refugees beginning in May. UNHCR funded an airlift operation from Kalabo to Mongu in January in order to move the most vulnerable refugees. These were then transported by road from Mongu to Mayukwayukwa. Meheba-bound refugees will be transported by hired road transport. UNHCR has provided 8 trucks, including one water tanker, to LWF. Domestic/Household Support: The refugees will require basic household items, including blankets, cooking utensils, cups, water buckets, and plates. UNHCR received much of the required non food items from the Great Lakes Region emergency stocks. Additional stocks are required. Tools, including hoes, axes, slashers, and sickles are needed. UNHCR will cover costs for these items. Tools are needed by the refugees in order to help them build shelters and to begin agricultural activities in Meheba and Mayukwayukwa. Water and Sanitation Water and sanitation is a major priority. Outbreaks of cholera and dysentery are common in Zambia during the rainy season. At Mayukwayukwa, the provision of adequate and good quality water has been identified by UNHCR and LWF as the major priority for the relocation of the refugees in Kalabo. To provide a water point for every 250 refugees, a total of 52 water points are required in the settlement. The "old settlement" has 10 shallow wells. To meet the standard of one water point for every 250 persons, 27 boreholes and 27 shallow wells will be constructed. Water assessments by the Ministry of Health report that many of the water sources at Mayukwayukwa are contaminated. Water Affairs, Solwezi, has just completed an assessment of the water points in Meheba. Additional boreholes and wells are recommended for Meheba. In addition to the boreholes and wells being done under the UNHCR budget, 16 more boreholes and 15 wells are included in this appeal. A water engineer has been employed at Mayukwayukwa. UNHCR recently provided LWF with a water tanker which will facilitate the provision of water to areas not served by boreholes and wells. A 16,000 liter water tank has been provided by Water Affairs in Mongu and has been installed at Mayukwayukwa. Close to 150 pit-latrines and rubbish pits have been constructed at all transit and reception centers to cater for 25 persons per unit. An additional 800 will be required. A sanitation technician from Meheba has been assigned to Kalabo to oversee sanitation facilities. In Kalabo, MSF/Holland is responsible for trucking water to several water points at the camp. No plans have been made for providing permanent water sources there as it is a temporary camp. Shelter/Infrastructure: Plastic sheeting and tents have been procured and distributed to new arrivals for temporary shelters. 60 plastic rolls were purchased. Additional rolls of sheeting and tents are required. 300 rolls of 100 meters x 5 meters will be required. Forty grass thatched shelters have been constructed in Meheba and 21 in Mayukwayukwa. More grass thatched shelters will be needed. In Kalabo, the refugees are living in tent-like structures which are, in some cases, supplemented by temporary stick and thatch structures used as kitchens. Refugees who have been relocated to Mayukwayukwa and Meheba are beginning to build more permanent structures as the building materials become available with the end of the rainy season. These are small mud and stick huts with thatch roofs, similar to those constructed in adjacent Zambian villages. At Mayukwayukwa, a transit center is being constructed of local materials for use by the refugees from Kalabo. Health and Nutrition: The area receiving the refugees is one in which medical facilities and supplies are very scarce or not available. LWF/ZCRS will continue to obtain vaccines from government and UNICEF, while an additional supply of emergency health kits will have to be procured abroad as none are available locally. For Mayukwayukwa, funding is sought for the extension of the existing government clinic and for the construction of 1 new clinic. Prefabricated materials will be used. Basic equipment for the clinics, e.g. microscopes, is needed in order to minimize the number of referrals to regional hospitals. LWF has assisted African Humanitarian Action (AHA) at Mayukwayukwa with food for its special feeding programs and with drugs. A MOU is proposed with AHA to clarify the respective roles of the organizations. AHA is in the process of becoming an implementing partner for UNHCR and it is anticipated that the organization will have its own budget for drugs and food. In Kalabo, MSF/Holland has the primary responsibility for health. LWF has made available to them both food and non-food items to support their special feeding programs. Food, such as cooking oil, was loaned from stocks provided by WFP and is being repaid by MSF/Holland. At Meheba, responsibility for health is with government clinics which receive support from LWF. A nutritional survey will be conducted there in the near future to determine whether the high levels of malnutrition reported in Mayukwayukwa, Kalabo, and Nangweshi among the new refugees also exists there. If so, the responsibility for supplementary feeding programs will fall upon LWF unless UNHCR requests the assistance of MSF/France. Education Refugees express concern about education for the children. Many of the recent arrivals have not been to school. In Mayukwayukwa, ten community schools will be constructed from local materials to begin the schooling of the children. In addition, a prefab extension of one block is proposed for the existing primary school. One new prefab primary school consisting of two blocks will be constructed. School supplies are also required. Community Services: Community services are an important component of the emergency program. Many of the new arrivals have been traumized in their move from Angola. There are a number of widows and single mothers among the group. High levels of malnutrition are reported for the populations, especially at Mayukwayukwa and Kalabo. At Mayukwayukwa, in particular, community services need to be expanded. The budget provides for two social workers for Mayukwayukwa, and one each for Meheba and Kalabo. A nutritionist is also needed at Mayukwayukwa. Refugees should be involved in the planning of community services. Administrative Services and Support: In order to provide necessary services to the refugee population, office and staff accommodations need to be upgraded, especially at Mayukwayukwa. Office space is currently provided in a GRZ building and is inadequate. An office block constructed of prefab materials containing 10 offices is proposed. As Mayukwayukwa is some distance from existing communities, additional staff accommodation is required. Staff houses will be constructed of prefab materials. Required units are: 1 bedroom units: 6 2 bedroom units: 5 for LWF staff and 3 for the new primary school 3 bedroom units: 2 Security/Protection/Registration: The government of Zambia is providing physical security for the refugees. Government staff who escort relocation convoys and camp security require subsistence support for travel outside their duty station. This is a UNHCR responsibility. GRZ has recently deployed three paramilitary personnel to Mayukwayukwa to provide security at the settlement. More are needed for the projected population of more than 13,000. The Government District Joint Operations Committee (DJOC), comprising all government security wings, conducts the screening of new arrivals including the separation of combatants from civilians at entry points and reception areas. Refugees requiring special protection include unaccompanied children and former combatants. In the case of the later, many were conscripted into military service, may have undergone training but have not always been in combat. These do not wish to return to Angola. ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING AND REPORTING Administration The Director has the overall responsibility of all LWF programs, while the Programme Coordinator has overall responsibility for project management and will act in the absence of the Director. The Financial Coordinator will have overall responsibility for project finances. The Project Coordinator will have direct responsibility and accountability for project implementation and expenditure. The Project Coordinator Counterpart, in consultation with the Project Coordinator administers project activities and takes decisions in the absence of the Project Coordinator. The Technical Advisor will be responsible for self-help and construction works in consultation with the refugees and will advise on site requirements. UNHCR has provided two Land Cruisers and two Hilux pickups for use by LWF. Project Finance Management and Controls All payments are supported by two authorized signatories, both at the stage of requisition for supplies and funds requests. All purchases are supported by three quotations, except in cases of one supplier or state controlled price. All goods received at the stores are supported by goods received notes. Stock cards are used for incoming stock and waybills are issued for outgoing stock. Half-yearly stock counts are carried out and an external audit is carried out at the end of the year. Monitoring and Reporting The Meheba Project Coordinator, in collaboration with the Refugee Officer and UNHCR Field Officer will form a committee to assess and report to Lusaka on a daily basis for the initial one-month. The Project Coordinator will also submit written reports on a weekly basis for the initial one month and on a monthly basis for the rest of the project period. The Programme Coordinator will travel to the camp twice a month. All financial and narrative reports will be submitted as per ACT reporting guidelines. COORDINATION Other NGO's working in the settlements include Jesuit Refugee Services (JRS), Association to Aid Refugees (AAR), Zambia Red Cross Society (ZRCS), Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), Africa Humanitarian Action (AHA), MSF/Holland, and local churches. The Ministry of Home Affairs provides security and settlement administration in Meheba and Mayukwayukwa. Separate agreements have been concluded with UNHCR and WFP. A proposal will be submitted to the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the U.S. Dept. of State. Preliminary discussions indicate that funds may be available for education, community services, and improvement of infrastructure.
