Our Goal and Objectives

ECHO Strategy will run from 2023 and 2028. Our work will contribute to community, national and global goals and aspirations through the Empowered Strategy whose goal is Sustained quality of life through improved health, productivity, environmental and climate change resilience of vulnerable communities particularly the women and girls in Zambian communities by 2028.

Improved productivity, wealth creation and quality of life within communities by 2028
Improved access to affordable, sustainable and inclusive Water, Sanitation and Hygiene services for vulnerable communities by 2028
Promoted low carbon, environmentally friendly and Climate Change resilient communities by 2028
Improved capacity for social accountability and strong institutional mechanisms for sustainable development at all levels of society by 2028.

Given the right combination of capacity, knowledge and equipment, vulnerable communities and people can turn their socio-economic status from low to medium or higher – thus breaking the cycle of poverty and creating a generational cycle of wealth creation
Sustainability can only be achieved by building strong interlinkages between livelihood, environment and WASH services. Agriculture is the mainstay for the rural communities but water plays a central role in shaping sustainability models for agriculture and environmental services
The poor contribute less to Climate Change but are disproportionately affected by the impacts of Climate Change. For the poor to be Climate Change resilient, there is need for changes in production modes, increased returns and a shift to green living.
