COMMUNIQUE IN RESPECT OF

RESTRUCTURING OF SABCOHA

SUBSEQUENT TO THE 2012 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Dear Reader

I am writing to you to update you on the developments that have taken place over the recent past within SABCOHA. Whilst the last eighteen months has been a particularly challenging period in our existence, SABCOHA has taken some bold steps in responding to the realities of our environment, and I am delighted to be able to announce to you some exciting initiatives which SABCOHA will spearhead.

Following the adoption of the National Strategic Plan 2007-2011 HIV & AIDS and STI in 2007, SABCOHA considered more impactful and sustainable approaches to strengthening the business sector's contribution to the goals and objectives contained therein. To this end, at the end of 2007, SABCOHA adopted a strategy to establish provincial structures to co-ordinate and consolidate the business sector's response to HIV and AIDS at a provincial level. This strategy was considered imperative in bridging the gap between policy formulation and implementation and in achieving the organisation's vision "to mobilise and empower the business sector to take effective action on HIV and AIDS in the workplace and communities in order to mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS on sustained profitability and economic growth". The following provincial strategic and implementation plans have been aligned to the 2012-2016 National Strategic Plan on HIV, STIs and TB and launched in the respective provinces:

• Eastern Cape HIV, AIDS, TB And Wellness Eastern Cape Business Sector Provincial Strategic Plan 2012 - 2016 1.60 Mb
