1.2.2. Description of the action: cover all the 5 points in the instructions: (max 1 page)
The project has been born out of the current research/consultation on the constraints faced by
female inmates in correctional facilities of the following Districts: Lundazi, Petauke and
Nyimba. The project initiators did a wide consultation in this direction from the following
audiences: The former female inmates/male inmates, correctional facilities officers, judicial staff
and the female inmates still serving different sentences. The findings were as follows: Women in
incarceration experiences victimization, separation from children, incarceration while
pregnant/lactating,, relationship maintenance with their children, lack of accessibility to social
services that are motherhood sensitive such as: Hygiene related to menstrual cycle experiences
(use of sanitary facilities), Children born/in correctional facilities lack of access to education and
health facilities and they are not provided with a right environment to grow and develop in
fundamental first years of their lives, lack of medical attention to mothers with special health
needs such as coronary thrombosis related diseases (BP, LBP, Hypertension, albinism,
HIV/AIDS patients, epilepsy etc.), abuse by male correctional facility officers (sexual, labour,
physical, mental etc.) and above all infringement on their rights and freedoms more especially
those of their children who are very innocent and not guilty of any wrong doing, further more to
this the international standard call for special provision for children incarcerated with their
parents as well as section 56 of the prisons act (which states that the care of circumstantial
children ought to fall on public expense). The above stated problems faced by women while in
incarceration are compounded by their detrimental effects such as: Unstable family life, social
and work failure, substance abuse (in order to with stand humiliation/shame/constraints), even
social factors that marginalise their participation in society mainstreaming such as: Single
motherhood, abandonment by their spouses, family fragmentation, street-children phenomena,
the incarceration of mothers also brings about aggression, hunger, anxiety and depression in the
children. Ultimately these children more female/adolescents are left in care of vulnerable
guardians (grandparents, uncles, other family members and friends). The project envisage on
undertaking the following activities in order to address the above negative scenario: 1.To conduct
meeting with the key stakeholders, 2. To Conduct assessment on the effect of living conditions
on access to health and justice to incarcerated female inmates and their circumstantial children,3.
To conduct testing and screening of offenders before they are convicted, 4. To conduct another
continuous testing and screening of the already convicted inmates, 5. To develop
recommendations and advocate for improvement in the identified gaps in the policies that
protects the rights of inmates and their circumstantial children in correctional facilities, 6. To
introduce curriculum activities in the correctional facilities for circumstantial children, 7. To
advocate for strengthening of social welfare support to circumstantial children and
administration activities such as: Monitoring and evaluation etc.
The project identified stakeholders are: Ministry of health, Ministry of education, Ministry of
home affairs (correction facilities and Victim support unity), community development, judicially,
parliamentarians of the affected districts traditional leadership. The planned project activities are:
Ultimately, the proposed project duration is three (3) years, starting from November 2018 to
November 2021.

1.4. Relevance of the action (max 3 pages)
The relevance of this action is to generate evidence and raise awareness of different human rights
challenges that inmates face and further it will stimulate debates and policy dialogue and
influence policy reforms and service delivery in correctional facilities of Eastern province more
especially the targeted district : Nyimba, Lundazi, Petauke and Katete . The project will use
spaces such as the media, in order to provide a platform for promoting advocacy around policy
changes to ensure that inmates have access to a safe and secure custody that respects their
dignity and human rights. The project will also make the actions relevant by engaging human
rights defenders, civil societies, correctional service managements, and traditional authority and
government officials. The project further will engage the parliamentarian committees on health,
justice and human rights to foster discussions around the building strategies for implementations
of recommendations in the assessment report. The community will be also a major stake holder
to input in this intervention through their interaction with the programme via radio programmes
that will encourage phoning in to ask questions and share opinions and submissions based on
their views to the panellist of experts. The project expected positive impact will be as follows :
improvement of mother to child relationship, improved policy direction on the inmate welfare
management and systems, increased accessibility to socio-economic services by circumstantial
children, improved human rights and freedoms protections of the inmates and circumstantial
children, reduction in mortality rate and morbidity among children born in correctional facilities ,
reduction in literacy levels for both female inmates and their circumstantial children more
especially those inmates serving longer sentences, the project will also improve justices on both
the poor female offenders and the well to do by promoting transparency in the judicial
proceedings by ensuring speedy trial to avoid corruption and inducement activities in the judicial
process. The testing and screening of inmates before been sent to correctional facilities will
ensure safe guarding of their health and wellbeing whilst in incarceration

1.7. 1.2.2. Relevance to the particular needs and constraints of the target
country/countries, region(s) and/or relevant sectors (including synergy with other EU
initiatives and avoidance of duplication)
The relevance to the particular needs and constraints of the target country (Zambia) and the
region (eastern province) is immerse in that conditions in these correctional facilities are very
inhuman more especially the women inmates and the circumstantial children, Zambia is one of
African countries where, correctional facilities are more of a place that is believed to keep people
that are condemned, marginalized and stigmatized. The project believes that the stakeholders
identified will help improve the living condition of the inmates and this will have a spill over
effect to some other districts, Ultimately the project will also encourage the involvement of the
EU staff/volunteers from the start to the end of the project because we believe EU has the
technical experience in the area/fight that we want to embark on, so we would want to learn from
them the best practices that they have seen in other projects similar that they have funded in the
past, the project will also seek the involvement of volunteers who on research, para-legal and
legal practitioners from Europe who can be with the project and provide technical assistance

1.8. 1.2.3. Describe and define the target groups and final beneficiaries, their needs and
constraints, and state how the action will address these needs
The target group are the female inmates and remandees (those waiting trail) and their
circumstantial children. These are the most affected in that they need special care because they
are vulnerable in in society. Their need are different from men, the female inmates need attention
in the following areas: Hygiene related to their menstrual cycle (pads, special dis-infectants/soap,
clothing etc.), good treatment, protection of their rights, interaction with their family at least
three times in a week, nutritious food, social activities such as: sports, access to information and
skill development while in incarceration in order for them to come and fit well once they are
released to re-join the society and also their health related chronical issues that needs special
attention (epilepsy, High/low blood pressure, TB, HIV/AIDS), prolonged menstrual cycles,
mental illness, sights problems, hearing problems etc.). The circumstantial children also need
special care such as: access to social welfare support, medical attention (under five health care),
interaction with the secular society, access to education and recreational facilities, access to
nutritional food items and protection of their rights and freedoms, These will needs will be
addressed using the above strategies: Women inmates will be allowed to interact with their
secular society through sports/competitive activities, allowed to meet their spouse/children and
family three times in a week in order to allow both parents have an interaction with a children
and strengthen the bonds, the project will also promote sanitary and hygiene to the female
inmates by supplying sanitary items to these female inmates, the project will compel the process
to ascertain the health of female inmates before committing them for sentencing in order to take
care of their special needs while in incarceration, the project will sensitize the community in
which these correctional facilities in issues to do with wrongly and unfair justice and human
rights issues that can help them defend themselves from an informed positions (some of women
are wrongly convicted because of illiteracy levels, mostly African women are not allowed access
to services that can help them stand before justice, in future, the situation that make them
vulnerable and defenceless and usually being taken advantage of), the project will also allow
women to have fair and fast trail to avoid being in dentation for a longer period without trail, it
will also facilitate appeals for those women incarcerated wrongly based on evidence corrected,
the project also take into account the creation of accessibility to education for the circumstantial
children, by capacity building female inmates in basic teaching and those who would be
volunteering to offer that service in correctional facilities, the project will create access to for
circumstantial children interact with their counterparts in the secular society through recreational
facilities, religious festivals, national/global events such as New year’s day, Christmas day etc.
and finally the project will lobby and advocate for policies improvement in order to permanently
address the issues affecting the inmates and their circumstantial children through open and close
space (radio programs, parliamentarians, local authority etc.)
