International networkingWithin the United Nations network, the International Labour Organization (ILO), UNAIDS, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Compact are the most active in the field of HIV/AIDS interventions at the workplace. To enhance cooperation with these global players, GIZ has seconded technical staff to ILO, WHO and UNAIDS.
International Labour Organisation (ILO)GIZ has been working with the International Labour Organization (ILO) for several years to raise awareness about the topic on an international scale and to increase implementation of programmes in the relevant countries. In cooperation with ILO and the World Bank, two international symposia on HIV/AIDS workplace programmes have been held.
Global Business Coalition to Fight AIDSThe Global Business Coalition to Fight AIDS (GBC) has developed a series of useful publications for company managements; it also offers firms a high-profile forum to share their experience of HIV interventions. GIZ and GBC have teamed up to support the development of monitoring and evaluation systems for HIV/AIDS workplace programmes and to measure private-sector efforts in the fight against HIV/AIDS. A joint brochure was published in December 2005 on using co-investment to extend HIV/AIDS workplace programmes to the communities.
Global Health Initiative/ World Economic ForumThe Global Health Initiative is a health network set up in 2002 to promote partnerships between the public and private sector in the field of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. The Global Health Initiative has joined forces with ACCA to refine and implement the co-investment model, to include suppliers in the fight against HIV/AIDS and to support business coalitions.
Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and MalariaIn cooperation with the Global Fund, GIZ is promoting the co-investment model, among other things, in which firms extend their efforts in the fight against HIV/AIDS to include the surrounding communities, and coordination between the public and private sector is enhanced. The World BankGIZ and the World Bank also pursue joint objectives and activities. The objective is to strengthen private sector involvement in the national response to HIV/AIDS by promoting networks and the usage of existing funds at a national level. To foster the international promotion of HIV/AIDS interventions at the workplace, GIZ (former GTZ), the World Bank, ILO and Georgetown University have twice invited international experts to symposia on workplace programs (Berlin 2003, Dar es Salaam 2004).
