The purpose of this report is to keep African member countries, development partners and the SSATP Executive Committee abreast of the Program’s progress. This is the first annual report for the SSATP Fourth Development Plan (DP4); it reports on the activities undertaken during the 2022 calendar year. It not only covers the preparation and subsequent launch of the DP4 Multi Donor Trust Fund (January - June 2022), but also the first six months of
implementation progress for activities under the DP4 first-year work program (July - December 2022).
