AATF <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2012</strong> 15<br />
Message from the<br />
Executive Director<br />
Partnerships are at the heart of AATF operations. As recommended by<br />
stakeholders during the strategy refresh, we undertook to not only<br />
widen our partnerships and collaborations but to also add value<br />
to these partnerships through structuring real action and result<br />
based arrangements.<br />
The year <strong>2012</strong> was a busy and rewarding one for AATF. The <strong>Foundation</strong><br />
realised a number of key achievements amidst learnings that will<br />
undoubtedly help grow it into a better, weathered and tested partner in<br />
its business.<br />
The <strong>Foundation</strong> registered growth in various ways during the year.<br />
We added two new projects to our portfolio bringing the total to nine active<br />
projects; we expanded our geographic coverage into one new country<br />
(Zambia) bringing the total number of countries in which we operate to<br />
ten; we increased our collaborations across the continent through new<br />
and renewal of engagements; and made commendable progress towards<br />
enhancing our financial status through resource mobilisation.<br />
