This project aims to be a capacity building initiative for the Swaziland National Association of Teachers (SNAT) on various strands of their work.
OSISA will provide a grant to SNAT-formed in 1928. It is the only embodied educators’ body in the country.

- Build the capacity of SNAT’s leadership to be able to master a response to the socio-economic and political challenges in a coherent manner;
- Assist SNAT to be a better and effective communicator with its members, with the wider citizenry and with policy makers;
- Develop a legal strategy including, strategic public interest litigation, to be used to protect space for teachers as democracy activists and citizens of Swaziland.
