THEMATIC FOCUS

POVERTY, INEQUALITY AND UNEMPLOYMENT We identify key drivers of regional organisations in Southern Africa and support their programmes for development and poverty eradication. AFRICAN PHILANTHROPY We promote and support sustainable philanthropic activities in response to the needs of vulnerable groups in Africa.

HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

We engage with poor and marginalised people, and connect them with the policymakers that can bring about positive change. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS While all 17 global goals are relevant, we prioritise those that resonate with the aspirations and mandate of the Trust, and that are key in the eradication of poverty and inequality. TRADE AND INDUSTRIALISATION We promote private sector and informal cross-border traders by involving them in the regional processes of trade and industrial

development.

MIGRATION AND DEVELOPMENT We support policy development that seeks to address migration challenges and investigate its socio-economic impact. To keep up with changes in the philanthropic and funding landscape, the Trust provides services to organisations that seek to gain value from our deep understanding of the SADC region’s civil society movements, investment needs, development and fund management. This is of interest to mission-driven corporates thinking about Corporate Social Investment (CSI) structures, and seek to drive sustainable community development and growth.
