Africa Centre for HIV/Aids Management, University of Stellenbosch, Stellenbosch

The Africa Centre for HIV/Aids Management, established in 2003, believes academic institutions must play a creative and active role in stimulating social, political and economic transformation.  They structure this role on three pillars: academic programmes, research and community mobilisation.  The Africa Centre offers the most comprehensive training programmes on HIV and AIDS management in the world and the only qualifications of this kind.  The Africa Centre is a UNAIDS collaborating centre on capacity-building, community mobilisation and research dissemination.
The Africa Institute for HIV/Aids Management is the community building arm of the Africa Centre.  As a non-profit organisation, the Africa Institute is responsible for developing and implementing community service projects.  The Africa Institute uses educational theatre to address HIV and AIDS related education and awareness.

EFSA Institute, Stellenbosch

As an independent ecumenical institute, the EFSA Institute promotes consensus between different sectors, interest groups and stakeholders on the challenges and problems facing society.  It plays a facilitating role by providing a platform for the public debate of issues, even controversial ones.  There is an interplay between an academic, research-based approach and the need to address specific needs of the church and other religious communities in both its structure and functions.  In a general sense, the institute tries to focus public attention on specific problems in society.
