The RAP targets communities that are most at need and exist in areas deprived of the most basic infrastructure and health care services. These communities are unsupported, and are restricted in socioeconomic development by lack of resources, geographical isolation, and the necessity for migration to seek employment. This exacerbates the problem of child headed households and vulnerable women & children, and it is often in these remote areas where the prevalence of poverty and associated illiteracy and violence takes its toll on otherwise healthy individuals. NCG has developed a rural model for scaling up services in communities through:

· Focused local capacity building for improved standard of living, social & economic well-being, and remigration of resources back to rural areas;

· Information, awareness, communication, and education on relevant issues to promote behaviour change,  early detection, early care seeking behaviour, access to care, and retention in care programs;

· Cost effective and integrated Primary Health Care (PHC), Malaria, TB and HIV/AIDS Care to promote personal wellbeing and community health in general;

· Childcare Programs to address the needs & life skills of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC), and to assist in improving the South African Public Sector service delivery for this group;

· Awareness, screening, selection, development, and nurturing of individuals to achieve self actualisation and a long-term orientation towards their future;

· Research, Monitoring & Evaluation to ensure evidence based interventions and outcomes;

· Replicating the NCG Model within the public sector and other NGO’s to assist in the strengthening of district health service delivery and the upliftment of community systems across South Africa.

The RAP consists of The Autonomous Treatment Centre (ATC) that supplies the community healthcare component, and the Community- Care, Health, Awareness, and Mobilisation Program (CHAMP) that affords the community access to information, education, opportunity for personal achievement, and resultant community progress.

The recruitment of individuals into the RAP requires intensive efforts to access households, while increasing HIV testing uptake, immediate CD4 & TB screening, and referral of the members of the population into lifelong adherence and development programs.
