Welcome

 

Communities play a central role in proactive and interactive responses to the HIV and AIDS epidemic. They are uniquely close to the everyday lives, issues and struggles of the individuals in them. The ability of communities to interact with HIV and AIDS issues, and to mainstream these within their priorities and activities, is of crucial importance to southern Africa’s development.

The Southern African AIDS Trust’s niche lies in strengthening community HIV and AIDS competence. SAT is an intermediary organization working to enhance the competence that allows communities to respond effectively and sustainably to the HIV and AIDS epidemic and its consequences. SAT takes direction from communities in such a way that it support their voices to advocate for community-friendly resources and policies.

 Sat is an independent regional NGO that support community responses to HIV and AIDS through in-depth partnerships with community groups in southern Africa. This is received through partnerships, grant-making and management, and wider networking, skills exchange and lesson-sharing throughout the region and internationally. SAT’s overall goal is to build the HIV and AIDS competence of communities to create more effective, sustainable and comprehensive community responses. To date, SAT has supported over 250 partners in southern Africa.

 SAT funding and skills-building activities support the capacity building of partners and their programming in areas such as prevention, care treatment and support, advocacy, information exchange and networking. Since late 2006, SAT has been funded through a Joint Financing Arrangement (JFA) with the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) the Royal Netherlands Embassy (RNE) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida)

The SAT Regional Secretariat is located in Johannesburg, South Africa. We also have decentralised offices in Lilongwe in Malawi, Maputo in Mozambique, Dar es Salaam in Tanzania, Lusaka in Zambia, and Harare in Zimbabwe.
