SAfAIDS

SAfAIDS has an over 28 year footprint of operations across the SADC Region. We contribute towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and human and social development in the SADC region. This is done by advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), through promoting Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI), and Resilience building We are fully cognisant that SRH outcomes can no longer be sustained in isolation, without simultaneously advancing GESI and empowerment for Resilience We recognise that sustaining good health outcomes can only be done through a Universal Health Coverage lens, which is integrated with other development issues (climate action, access to education and WASH, alleviating poverty and hunger) We firmly believe No-one should be Left Behind and in Saving Lives. This means prioritising populations defined as vulnerable, marginalised, hard-to-penetrate or motivate, key or at-risk; divided by trait and identity; across community, institutional, policy-making and leadership levels. This also means cultivating an internal organisational culture that upholds its values and principles; and deliversefficiently, ethically and innovatively
