Introduction:

SAT currently has offices in five countries (Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe). SAT country offices work with community partners (25 partners/country per annum) through sub-granting and capacity strengthening. Community competence is strengthened through sharing the rich and diverse experiences of partners through action research and School Without Walls. The knowledge and wisdom gained in this way is fed into enriching civil society more broadly through SAT's communications and publications.

SAT country strategies are developed within the framework of the regional strategy, while still maintaining their focus on: country responses to the epidemic and national priorities, and lessons learned from SAT's work in the region. SAT operates within "The Three Ones" principle at national level. Within these country programmes, based on experience, expertise and specific country resources, SAT country offices take a leading role in a particular thematic area within SAT's overall work. The combined contributions of these leading roles contribute to the continuous development of the region's coordinated response to the epidemic.
