  1. HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming NABCOA/GTZ/DED training workshop on “How to establish a comprehensive HIV/AIDS Workplace Programs (WPP)?” 9./10.5.2006 at Thuehringer Hof Dr. Kathrin Lauckner (GTZ)

  2. What do we mean by “Mainstreaming”? “Mainstreaming AIDS in Development is a process through which development actors effectively and sustainably address the causes and consequences of HIV/AIDSas they relate to their area of workthrough adapting and improving their workplace practices and their core work.”   UNAIDS, GTZ 2004

  3. HIV/AIDSMainstreaming Mainstreaming is to analyse and adapt your core business with the help of the three mainstreaming questions: • What is the impact of HIV/AIDS on my sector/business? How to mitigate? • What are my sector’s/my company’s comparative advantages in the fight against HIV/AIDS? What can this sector do that no other sector can do better? • Do the sector’s core activities have potential “negative side effects”? How to mitigate them?

  4. What is the impact of HIV/AIDS on the organisation or sector? • Internal: how does HIV/AIDS affect the organisation’s ability to execute it’s functions? staff workplace program • External: does HIV/AIDS pose a risk towards the achievement of the organisation’s goals and objectives? activities/programs/policies/strategies Mainstreaming

  5. What is the impact of HIV/AIDS on the organisation or sector? (II) • Are the sector activities/programs are still effective? • Have the needs of the target groups/demands for services or accessibility changed due to AIDS? For private sector: Is there an impact on suppliers and/or customers? • Are new technologies required to meet the changes?

  6. What are the sector’s or organisation’s comparative advantages in the fight against HIV/AIDS? • Reach out through decentralized structures and thus close relations with communities • For Government agencies: potential to engage the private sector through close working relations • Specific contributions to key aspects, for example food security • Access to customers (f. e. KLM inflight magazines)

  7. Do the sector’s core activities have potential negative side effects? How to mitigate them? • For example unwillingly enhancing the spread through activities that increase mobility and migration • high mobility of staff (that does not only affect the staff itself!) • Exclusion of affected households and OVCs from services • Etc…

  8. HIV/AIDS Mainstreaming is not rocket science… …and you do not need to be an HIV/AIDS specialist. It’s necessary that everyone gets involved in his/her field of expertise. HIV/AIDSis likely to be with us for a very long time.But how far it spreads and how much damage it doesis entirely up to us ! Peter Piot, Executive Director UNAIDS
