The organisation was founded on the 18th of June 2003 as AIDS Partnership with Africa - APA with Company Registered Number 372427, was granted charity status a year later. Adopting an integrated approach, APA promoted the networking of all social structures and community organisation, facilitating people to mobilise their resources and skills to cope the challenges of their own self development. In the years up to 2014 the main focus was on HIVA pandemic in Ethiopia and Tanzania and there after as APA evolved and expanded into areas especially with women's and children's rights the organization underwent a name change to better represent the scope of its work. Thus the name was legally changed form AIDS Partnership with Africa to A Partnership with Africa (APA). Operating under this title, APA continues to grow and adapt to the changing needs in Africa with current programs in Ethiopia and Tanzania. |
