Goals
The primary goal of the CCA HIV/AIDS Initiative is to engage the private sector in HIV prevention care and treatment with the ultimate objective of reducing HIV infection rates and mitigating the impact of HIV/AIDS on the African continent.
In order to accomplish this goal, at a minimum, the Advisory Group aims to guide the Initiative to:
- Determine the prevalence of workplace policies and programs within CCA member companies using a survey developed by the Futures Group International.
- Engage all CCA membership in the development and implementation of HIV work plans.
- Establish evaluation criteria to determine the progress of the CCA Initiative.
- Implement fundraising events to sustain the CCA Gates Foundation grant.
The Advisory group meets on a quarterly basis.
