Sekika Solutions developed the Responsible Trade Facilitation (rtf) Programme to assist liquor outlet owners to improve their outlet legal compliance. To date 1500 Outlets have been recipients of the rtf program across 5 Provinces.
The responsible trade facilitator uses the following Outlet Health Measures (OHM) to evaluate participating Outlets and develop action plans to close the gaps identified in partnership with the Liquor Outlet Owners:
To facilitate efficient data collection and field communication a mobile data collection application is utilised. The application is loaded onto a 7-inch android tablet and provides the following core features to the facilitators: geolocation of customers, access to previous visit information, conduct electronic surveys, develop picture database of each tavern, conduct training presentations to Tavern owners and request real time support from the back-office.
rtf Incentive Scheme
The rtf incentive scheme aims to encourage Taverners to become more responsible but also to provide them with the tools to comply with applicable legislation within the areas that they are operating within.
The Incentive Scheme supports both the struggling Taverners but also reward the high performing Taverns. The following diagram gives a high-level view how the rtf incentive scheme works.

Stakeholder Insights
When the fire broke out, I asked my kids to pull out the fire extinguisher and I did as we were demonstrated on the rtf fire fighting training, opened my ceiling and extinguished the fire inside. The rtf program has made a massive difference to the safety of my outlet.

The toilets I have now received are a total upgrade from the previous ones I had. The ones I had were very poor and they did not have water. The EnviroLoo do not need water. I promise to keep them clean.aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

We have funded and supported our implementation partner, Sekika Solutions, in the roll-out of their Responsible Trade Facilitation (rtf) project. This project forms part of our Community Formalisation programme aimed at ensuring safer and alcohol harm free outlets. The rtf project was rolled out as a pilot in 4 provinces, Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng and Mpumalanga and so far, has showed great impact.

Rtf was a ground-breaking initiative developed and implemented in the Townships of Cape Town to address the lack of legal compliance within Taverns. Rtf assisted with the education of retailers, physical implementation of legal requirements and monitoring of both consumer and retailer behaviour in this space.
This initiative has highlighted the need for better education of our retailers and increased investment to create safer spaces for our consumers
