Vacancies In Limpopo– At NACOSA- Economic Empowerment for Sex Workers Pilot Programme

NACOSA, as a Principal Recipient of the Global Fund, is responsible for the implementation of the Sex Work Programme. The Sex Work Programme seeks to improve the health and wellness of female, male and transgender sex workers through the provision of core and layered services. One of several optional layered service within the Sex Work Programme is Economic Empowerment for Sex Workers. This is a pilot programme to be implemented in two sub-districts, namely West Rand (Gauteng) and Greater Sekhukhune (Limpopo).

The intended long-term impact of the economic empowerment pilot programme is to reduce HIV infection and transmission rates as fewer people are exposed to the risk of infection and transmission through engaging in sex work as a means of primary income. Therefore, the specific objective of the economic empowerment pilot programme is to empower sex workers to explore alternative livelihood opportunities by means of enabling them to acquire new skills to identify and take advantage of additional or alternative income generating opportunities or accessing further education to generate additional or alternative income in the future. New skills include at least financial literacy skills, work readiness skills and basic entrepreneurial skills.

The Request for Proposals and related documentation will be available on the NACOSA website from 23 September 2020: www.nacosa.org.za.
