The CCA HIV/AIDS Initiative, funded by The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (www.gatesfoundation.org), addresses issues faced by businesses with operations in Africa and seeks to increase corporate involvement in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Over the grant’s three-year duration, CCA will work with its corporate members invested in Africa to assist them in the design, development and implementation of HIV/AIDS workplace policies and prevention education programs for CCA member corporations, their workforce and the families of the employees. In addition, the Initiative works to enhance member company participation in developing national HIV/AIDS plans and collaboration with African national commissions and business coalitions on HIV/AIDS issues. The Initiative also seeks to increase corporate partnerships in the financing of effective HIV/AIDS programs.
