Thematic areas

The new Country Strategy for the Lutheran Development Services (LDS) could not have come at more appropriate time than now because of the significant developments globally and nationally. Firstly, at a global level we have witnessed and embraced the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030. Secondly, the Lutheran Communion worldwide has just celebrated 500 years after Reformation and is reviewing itself, as well as its regional expressions, to remain relevant in rapidly changing times. Thirdly, the Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELCZ), of which LDS is a diaconal arm, is undergoing a renewal process focusing on its doctrine, liturgy, governance and sustainability. The country, Zimbabwe, has a new political dispensation with a new vision of an upper middle income status by 2030 following decades of stagnation. All these processes have a significant bearing on the future work of LDS.

With this strategy LDS has positioned itself within global and national political, socio-economic and religious landscapes that are fast evolving
