"Business Coalitions Tackling AIDS: A Worldwide Review"

Profiles of Business Coalitions Tackling AIDS

The GHI in partnership with UNAIDS, The World Bank and GTZ has released the first global report on how Business Coalitions are supporting the private sector to tackle AIDS around the world.

Business Coalitions have emerged as a highly effective platform for businesses to come together and address the challenges of AIDS. To date, four regional and 47 national Business Coalitions have been formed, and together they have supported thousands of companies in implementing local AIDS workplace programmes. They are a relatively new concept worldwide; over 40% were launched in the last two years and over 60% in the last five.

The report presents the current global landscape of Business Coalition activity, reviewing their different organizational, governance, membership and financial models, outlining best practices and highlighting the key challenges they face as they strive to serve the private sector. The report underlines five points of consideration for existing and emerging coalitions to effectively support businesses in tackling AIDS while ensuring their long-term stability.
