SAAPA Southern African Alcohol Policy Alliance

The Southern African Alcohol Policy Alliance is a collaboration of civil society organizations across Southern African countries. 

This network aims to promote the harmonization and acceleration of evidence-based alcohol policy development and implementation to reduce alcohol harm in Southern Africa. SAAPA argues for advancing public health based on current and emerging evidence. 

Lessons from other countries should inform the efforts of governments in Southern Africa, individually and collectively. 

This knowledge should be used to strengthen policies and regulations that acknowledge the cross-border production, distribution, marketing, and trade of alcohol to ensure better health for all citizens.
