GOMOJO

OPPORTUNITY IS WHO WE ARE

The GOMOJO Capacity Building program exists to fill the gaps in condom distribution, address health and poverty disparities within high-prevalent communities by providing technical assistance through skills-building learning to: civic groups, organizations, foundations, corporations, public-policy makers, churches, universities, colleges or non-profit organizations. Trainings can be offered in a variety of forms and formats. These include: webinars, phone consultations, face-to-face trainings, and conferences.

#GOMOJO has responded to the PEPFAR required global strategy and will continue to support a multi-pronged approach to combating new HIV infections, working with partner governments and civil society to address the sources of new infections and create enabling environments for HIV prevention.

We believe we can save the world by empowering people to connect with their community, support entrepreneurism and equal opportunity after 2 years in the street to get a better understanding of the challenges facing Black Americans and what solutions we could come up with to even the playing field and the steps on the way to building an independent and viable Black community.

Promote the female condom as an essential part of an overall condom strategy, with programs that account for each community's broader condom market and that consider the unique attributes and benefits of the female condom for various populations.

We have done the time to employ evidence-based strategies to create demand for, and utilization of, male and female condoms, such as ensuring that high-quality condoms are available, that offered condoms correspond to consumer preferences, and that a variety of price points for different distribution channels are used.

GOMOJO INCREASES CONDOM AVAILABILITY AND APPEAL

Two sizes available to accommodate female condoms
Widely distribute condoms in both gay and non-gay establishments, including mainstream locations such as barber shops, bus stops, movie theaters, dorms, bars, and clubs
Advertise and provide a wider variety of condoms (range of flavors, colors, sizes)
Couple condom distribution with campaigns that promote condom use as sexy and desirable
Advertise locations of free/reduced-cost condoms
Have nightclub bouncers hand out condoms as people enter the establishment
Install condom machines at bars, clubs, and gyms
Distribute condoms at locations frequented by youth such as skate parks, schools, Boys & Girls Club
Actively hand out condoms in places of high-risk activity
Increased online HIV prevention interventions may be the most efficient way to reach sexually active MSM, particularly those who do not self-identify as gay or bisexual, as well as younger populations.
