The process of systems strengthening in the Eastern Cape province is well underway as part of SABCOHA’s Provincial Programme.  Richard Douglas  is responsible for stakeholder relations and is currently meeting with the business sector, civil society and government departments in each district to consult around HIV and AIDS.

Stronger systems in each province will mean that businesses are better supported and ably assisted to respond more effectively to HIV and Aids, in workplaces and communities.

SABCOHA has existing relationships in the province with, amongst others, the Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC), the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber and the Border Kei Chamber of Business.  At a multi-sectoral level relationships with the Eastern Cape AIDS Council and the PEPFAR Liaison have been furthered.

Central to the process is the development of a provincial business sector strategy that identifies business sector commitments and priorities in support of Government’s National Strategic Plan (NSP) and HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) Campaign. A provincial business sector Board of Governors will be elected to guide and oversee implementation of the strategy.
