- ‘Life is A Choice’ for adolescents (Peer Education Programme).
- ‘Kemoja’ for all school learners and out-of-school youth.
- ‘Can You Hear Me Now’ for the prevention of FASD targeted at pregnant women.
Community development programmes are implemented in rural, semi-urban and rural areas using the CADCA (Community anti-drug coalitions of America) strategy and 7 coalitions have been successfully established.
The ‘Never Give Up’ programme for community development workers and volunteers emphasises building resilience in communities to strengthening partnerships and the sharing of community resources
The ‘Stand Up’ programme is tailor-made for both emerging organisations and SANCA members and focuses on internal operational processes and systems.
The governance training programme is offered to these organisations to ensure good management practices are implemented for the accountability and sustainability of the organisations.
