No Life Skills and HIV & AIDS Coordinators in the Siyanda and John Taolo Gaetsewe Districts
No clerical staff in the Life Skills and HIV & AIDS Unit – resulting in challenges with data capturing and processing of payments.
New educators for the programme due to reshuffling at schools – resulting in constant re- training needed.
Dysfunctional Health Advisory Committees at sites.
