Integrated Access to Care and Treatment Program
The key to better health for people living with,
and affected by, HIV
I ACT grew out of a partnership that SA Partners facilitated during 2000–2008
between the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and South Africa’s Province
of the Eastern Cape Department of Health. The program was officially launched there
I ACT support group participant
Since 2009, I ACT has supported
more than 136,000 people living
with HIV and trained hundreds
of individuals to be I ACT group
facilitators and trainers. By the
end of 2012, I ACT expanded to
all of South Africa’s nine provinces,
with SA Partners providing
technical assistance for the
national scale-up.

I ACT’s goal is to promote the early recruitment, referral and retention of people
living with HIV (PLHIV) into care and support programs. This process will ultimately
reduce the high loss to follow-up from the time of HIV diagnosis until the successful
commencement of treatment.
I ACT support groups empower and engage. Through a structured curriculum-based
series of six sessions, PLHIV are provided with the education, network and social
support they need to begin accepting their status, stay healthy and continue accessing
care. I ACT receives funding support from the President’s Emergency Plan for Aids
Relief (PEPFAR) through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and USAID.

Strengthening Prevention in the Prison System
A novel pilot program to prevent the transmission of HIV among
the most at-risk populations.
During 2012, more than 700
offenders and staff participated
in STEPS activities and more than
40 were trained as facilitators.
In 2013, SA Partners will extend
STEPS to a second prison.
In 2012, SA Partners launched STEPS, a pilot prison-based HIV prevention program
that addresses high-risk behavior in the male prison population. An expansion of
SA Partners’ I ACT Program, STEPS provides offenders and staff at St. Albans
Correctional Center with a facilitated 6-week curriculum for group meetings that
include Ubuntu Community Theater, educational sessions and referrals for testing.
STEPS is funded by President’s Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (PEPFAR) through the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Massachusetts-South Africa Technology
Fellowship Program
People-to-people exchanges to strengthen professional skills
and promote cultural competency.
The Massachusetts-South Africa Technology Fellowship Program (M-SAT) is led by
Bentley University in partnership with SA Partners and funded by the U.S. State
Department Professional Fellows Program. M-SAT brings together mid-level professionals
from Massachusetts and South Africa to create beneficial peer relationships, promote
cultural competency and strengthen professional skills.
M-SAT South African Fellows will spend four weeks in the Boston area learning at
Bentley and working with a U.S. mentor and a peer in the high tech and life science
business sectors. The peer will then travel to South Africa as a United States Fellow,
spending time at his/her partner Fellow’s worksite and learning about South Africa’s
history and culture. The first cohort of six South African Fellows will travel to the United
States in April 2013.
SA Partners serves as technical
consultant to M-SAT, including
the recruitment and selection
of Fellows and participating
companies and programming
in South Africa.
“The Embassy has worked for many years
with South Africa Partners and is assured
that with their involvement, the MassachusettsSouth Africa Technology Fellowship Program
will be designed for long-term and mutual
benefit, the key elements for sustainability
beyond the grant timeline.”
South African Ambassador to the United States

Albertina Sisulu Executive Leadership
Program in Health
Excellence, innovation and transformation to advance South
Africa’s health services.
“We would not have this
project if it wasn’t for South
Africa Partners. This was
actually initially conceived
by Mary Tiseo in conjunction,
in conversations, with
people in South Africa.”
Dr. Paul Campbell, Harvard School
of Public Health
SA Partners led the development of the Albertina Sisulu Executive Leadership Program
in Health (ASELPH), a partnership of three academic partners -- Harvard School of
Public Health, University of Pretoria and University of Fort Hare – and SA Partners.
This four-year, $10 million program seeks to increase South Africa’s capacity to
deliver high-quality, cost-efficient health services by offering executive training to
managers who will contribute towards transforming South Africa’s health system.
ASELPH’s funding partners are Atlantic Philanthropies, The ELMA South Africa
Foundation and USAID.
ASELPH’s executive training will build core leadership and management skills to serve
South Africa’s health sector. Participants in the training program will include senior
managers and emerging leaders from provincial, district and local health departments
and executives engaging in strategic priorities at the national level. ASELPH will
simultaneously build capacity at two South African universities to offer executive level
training for the long-term.
SA Partners serves as
Administrator of ASELPH,
including financial management,
communications, monitoring and
evaluation and sustainability.

Masibumbane Development Organization
Let us unite to work together.
Incubated with the technical assistance of SA Partners, Masibumbane Development
Organization is our newly-established South Africa-based partner. Located in the
Province of the Eastern Cape, Masibumbane is independently governed by a
distinguished Board of Directors chaired by Dr. Mvuyo Tom, Vice Chancellor of the
University of Fort Hare. A central goal of both
Masibumbane and SA Partners
is for Masibumbane to be an
independent and sustainable
organization that can provide a
platform for implementing and
managing partnership programs
in South Africa.
“Masibumbane” is an isiXhosa word that means “Let us unite to work together.”
Masibumbane is focused on empowering underserved and disenfranchised
communities to realize their fundamental human rights in a democratic South Africa.
Masibumbane is grounded in a commitment to self-advocacy and social justice. In
partnership with others, Masibumbane helps communities to facilitate the mobilization
of resources that address local health, education and social development needs.
“My experience of South Africa Partners
is that of involving stakeholders at all
levels, but ensuring that on the ground
the people affected by their programs are
fully aware. This is a very participatory
approach to development.”
Dr. Mvuyo Tom, Masibumbane Development Organization Board
Chair and Vice Chancellor, University of Fort Hare

South Africa Partners as Catalyst for Community Learning
Educator Tour
Each summer SA Partners leads an Educator Tour to South Africa. During this
two-week trip, United States educators learn about South Africa and engage with
their South African counterparts through visits to schools, libraries and other social
service initiatives.
Since 2006, more than 60 educators
have participated in SA Partners’
Educator Tour.
On the 2012 Educator Tour, six educators traveled to Johannesburg, Port
Elizabeth, East London and Cape Town, including three educators who had
traveled on the Educator Tour before and were returning to pursue further
partnerships.
Brenna DeCotis
Because of the tour’s intimate size, the conversations that ensue during these visits
result in meaningful exchanges of ideas and best practices. Participating United
States educators include elementary and secondary school teachers from public
and independent schools and professors of education.
“The trip with SA Partners changed me, my
outlook, my teaching and my life in so
many ways. We continue to use many of the
resources developed on that journey when
teaching about this great country.”
Madeleine M. Keller, Fourth Grade Teacher, The Bryn Mawr School
2006 Tour Participant
