Immediate objectives 1) Develop and document a new method for reintegration of ex-inmates and vulnerable community members to promote successful reintegration back into society. 2) Further strengthen the skills of Ubumi Zambia to develop and implement methods for reintegration and promotion of active citizen participation by ex-inmates and vulnerable community members. 3) Support the existing process for advocacy for reintegration towards stakeholders in Chipata District and establish a foundation for future collaboration with the network of civil society organisations SANOP This project centres on reintegration through documentation for cost-effective methodologies for reintegration, which gives former inmates possibilities for sustainable livelihoods and a new life without crime. Furthermore, building on Ubumi’s experience, the project entails building new strategic alliances, which hold the potential for placing reintegration of former inmates on the agenda of decision makers
