Three strategic Directions for HFHZ:

1)       By 2011, HFHZ will have improved and strengthened its governance and management in order to achieve effective Programme implementation;
Governance and Management
Habitat for Humanity Zambia has in the last few years taken a number of steps to strengthen its governance and management which includes the establishment of a local National Board. However, evidence arising from the HFHZ evaluation conducted in the 2005 indicates that there are still a number of issues that need to be addressed in governance and management. This includes the systems development in order to ensure effective internal controls, revision of the organizational structures so as to appropriately respond to the growing demand for HFHZ services.
 
 
2)       By 2011, HFHZ will have achieved a diverse and sustainable resource base through appropriate and effective communication and advocacy strategies;

Resource Development, Communication and Advocacy (RDCA)
Habitat for Humanity Zambia mainly depends on external resources for the implementation of its activities. Presently HFHZ receives considerable support from Habitat for Humanity International and a number of other cooperating partners. However, HFHZ continues to face supply constraints in meeting the growing demand for housing in Zambia. Several reasons can be cited for this growing demand and it includes the poor performance of the economy as well as the lack of government commitment to deal with this sector of the community who require housing. Given the limited resources locally and internationally, the issue of sustainability has taken centre stage. HFHZ therefore needs to proactively identify potential partnerships in order to continue with the work at affiliate level. Habitat for Humanity Zambia recognizes the need to actively participate in advocacy and hence provide a holistic service to all the needy people.
 
 
3)       By 2011, HFHZ will have a sustainable revolving fund through a strengthened service delivery system
Affiliate Development and Technical Support
Habitat for Humanity Zambia recognizes that it needs to strengthen the system of providing assistance for housing to all its operational areas. There is recognition that the house numbers can be increased.
