Purpose

SAPOA Objectives

The repositioning of SAPOA is vital to strengthen its role and improve the understanding and support within the member DPOs for greater contribution in the region’s postal & logistics sector. Currently there is general lack of knowledge of SAPOA’s role by employees within the DPO’s, thus the repositioning that, will include brand awareness, will accomplish several objectives for SAPOA.
