8. SOUTH AFRICA: WHY DID ROTARY COMMIT?
 Unprecedented opportunity for 4 Rotary Districts to work as one force in South Africa.
 Opportunity to grow membership.
 Unprecedented and first formal partnership with the National Government of South
Africa through the Department of Health. Unprecedented formal partnership with the
National Broadcaster, SABC, as the media partner and the signing of a 3 year MOU
with RFHA.
 Development of a Monitoring and Evaluation tool to include a 3 month impact study for
long term use across Africa together with the Department of Health and the CDC.
 As a result of the above, Rotary in South Africa received unprecedented
public exposure from the public/private partnerships.
 Rotary was turned from the “best kept secret to the best known secret”.
