Sub-Sahara Advisory Panel (SSAP) was formed in 2009 when a number of African diaspora groups in Wales met to consider how they might collectively advance their common interest in International Development and add value to the sector. From inception the organisation seek to utilise skills, capacity and knowledge found within Welsh African diaspora communities for the benefit of all. This includes giving advice on how to deliver effective international development interventions by contributing a sound understanding of cultures and the social economic realities of everyday life in Sub Saharan countries; support diaspora communities who are delivering their own development initiatives and utilising the skills found within the community to deliver interventions in Sub-Saharan Africa.
