SABCOHA held a meeting with stakeholders on the 9th September to consider the implications of the Fifa 2010 World Cup event in South Africa and a task team was formed to drive the project.
It was agreed that the areas of focus for the SABCOHA 2010 strategy are:
- Extending the scope of existing projects
- Project Promote - Extend condom distribution to the Tourism and Leisure Industries
- Partner with SABMiller (ABI) to extend the reach of Project Promote condom distribution to taverns and bars.
- Add distribution of IEC Material to the distribution network for condoms
- Support to member organization Initiatives
- Motivate members to implement projects aimed at 2010
