The Corporate Council on Africa's
Corporate Task Force Report on HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa
 |
The Corporate Council on Africa is proud to release its Corporate Task Force Report on HIV/AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa. This report marks the first time that American businesses active in Africa have collectively made substantive policy recommendations to the U.S. government and other businesses on how to address the HIV/AIDS pandemic in sub-Saharan Africa which is estimated to have affected 28.1 million people in this region by the end of 2001.
This Task Force report presents the experience and views of the 20 corporations who comprised the Corporate Council on Africa’s Task Force on AIDS in Africa. It represents a substantive contribution to the practical steps that are needed to fight this pandemic. Moreover, the report is an acknowledgement by the private sector of the gravity of the HIV/AIDS crisis and the need to take action. It contains concrete HIV/AIDS strategy recommendations for all companies doing business in Africa, whether or not they are members of our Council. Every business must decide for itself how best to participate effectively in addressing this crisis. However, information sharing, awareness of best practices, and instances of leading by example are important elements in marshalling efforts and resources, and this report is a first step in this process.
