The Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA) "is a leading Johannesburg-based foundation established in 1997, working in ten Southern Africa countries: Angola, Botswana, DRC, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. OSISA works differently in each of these nine countries, according to local conditions. There are specialised programme managers in Angola, Zimbabwe and Swaziland – these being the three countries in which significant structural governance questions still obtain." [1] Founded by George Soros.
