Service Provider Call
We are Expanding Our Service Provider Database
The Southern Africa Trust (The Trust) is a regional intermediary grant-maker, fiscal host, and activist fund working to end poverty and inequality in 16 countries in Southern Africa. Established in 2005 and based in Johannesburg, The Trust’s vision is an integrated Southern Africa where all people live empowered and fulfilled lives. Our mission is to amplify the voice and agency of impoverished and excluded people in Southern Africa by empowering them to access their full rights. Our mandate is to pursue change with those who live in poverty resulting from inequalities and exclusion.
The Trust is currently in the process of registering group/individual consultants/service providers to expand our service provider database. We are inviting registered, reputable, and qualified service providers to express interest in joining our vetted supplier database. As we continue advancing our mission to strengthen the voice and agency of people living in poverty across Southern Africa, we are seeking service providers who can support our work across our strategic focus areas across the SADC region. Join us as we work towards a Southern Africa where all people live empowered and fulfilled lives.
