Answer:
The four areas which are given in the question has been described in detail as follows:
Effectiveness of Arrive alive campaign is to:
Create awareness among people about safe driving. Because drunk driving mainly leads to accidents, car crash etc.
Challenges and risk behaviour are:
Since this is just a campaign and not any law, most people tends to avoid it and engages themselves into road accident anyway.
Explanation: Until and unless people are being careful, nothing will work. Hence safety lies in the hand of common people only and South African government is making new rules to make traffic hassle free and safe driving on road.
Effectiveness of Road accident fund:
This fund is to give immediate proper treatment and medication to road accident victims, irrespective of their monetary possessions.
Challenges and risk behaviour are:
This will make people more careless while driving as they can atleast avail the fund after meeting any accident reducing their own medical expense.
Explanation: Because of the fund many lives could be saved and immediate first aid could be provides. But trying to avoid the accident in the first place should be a concern and that's what South African government has been trying to do by spreading awareness.

To spread awareness among people since prevention is better than cure. Banning use of same syringe twice to prevent the transmission of the virus.
Challenges and risk behaviour are:
Awareness programme is time consuming and not always fruitful. So, giving time behind a social cause and not yielding good result is sometimes a con.
Also, people needs to be extremely cautious while working on this field as the disease can be transmitted from open wound and blood also
Explanation: People needs to be more aware and spread awareness to help prevent this disease. South African government is trying to educate people more about this disease and providing with necessary health facilities.
Effectiveness of 16 days activism against women and child abuse are:
Raises awareness among people to stop being violent and abuse women and children. This occurs from 25th November to 10th December.
Challenges and risk behaviour are:
This kind of awareness mostly go unheard because of lack of proper legal procedure backing up women and child abuse.
Explanation: Women needs to stand up for themselves to fight against this cruelty. Only then it will be eradicated. South African government has been supporting women empowerment and growth to eradicate any kind of cruelty against them.
