CTAOP’s Swidler Summits are designed as part of the care for the folks that are leading change in communities. Each year, CTAOP hosts the staff from our Program Partners to connect, to rejuvenate, to create, and to invest in their own well-being. In 2023, we hosted regional Swidler Summits in Cape Town, KwaZulu-Natal, and Johannesburg, and it reaffirmed how important it is to support the amazing humans along with their organizations.

Sukuthula, meaning “do not keep quiet,” will support CBOs to deliver community-based prevention, response, and advocacy programs to reduce GBV in marginalized communities.
