The GALZ HIV/AIDS and STI Prevention Programme trains community volunteers called "buddies" to visit at-risk groups and provide information and prevention materials. Buddies are chosen based on location and maturity, and trained in reducing STI/HIV transmission, community mobilization, and encouraging positive living. Buddies work in male-female pairs, making regular home and community visits to disseminate information, condoms, and lubricant while reporting back with recommendations. Officers monitor the buddies to ensure quality in reaching at-risk communities.
