Existing evidence indicates that HIV and AIDS-related illness and death has adverse effects on an institution's abilities to achieve its objectives. However, many businesses are struggling to respond to HIV and AIDS in the Workplace, with most responses stopping at Workplace Policy design, and some activities.
It is felt that whilst HR/Personnel Managers are critical in the effective implementation of the HIV and AIDS Workplace response, inadequate effort has been put in place to strengthen their skills in dealing with the complex issue that is the pandemic. In most cases, HR Managers find themselves confronted with expectations that they are not adequately equipped to address.
In most cases, uptake of services as a result of HIV and AIDS Workplace Policies is minimal, as a result of a variety of issues, including insufficient staff participation in the design of policies, inappropriate methods of implementation; and insufficient processes for reviewing and revising the policies and the attendant policy implementation processes. More importantly, HR Managers rarely get an opportunity to engage with their peers in discussions around addressing HIV and AIDS in the Workplace.
This Workshop aims at building the capacity of HR Managers to design, implement, and review HIV and AIDS Workplace Responses using tested participatory approaches and processes.

In recent years, HIV&AIDS responses have grown significantly. however, the impact of such programme is seldom adequately documented. The need to demonstrate impact and change in the quality of lives of people is becoming a critical concern for donors, NGOs and other stakeholders. Unfortunately, the capacity to assess impact on an on-going basis and make the results of such assessments part of the continuous process of planning and implementing HIV & AIDS programmes is still weak in many developing countries. This course provide hands-on skills in designing and implementing monitoring and evaluation systems and tools in HIV & AIDS programmes.

Many development institutions have done very little to understand the contextual impacts of HIV and AIDS on Water, Hygiene and Environmental Sanitation programmes and have not integrated programmatic actions to halt the spread of HIV and AIDS, and mitigate its impact in their programmes. Similarly, AIDS service organizations have not analyzed the role of safe water, sanitation and Hygiene in fostering quality care, prevention, treatment, impact mitigation services at individual, household and community level. The Course focuses on strengthening skills, knowledge and understanding practical mainstreaming tools and processes.
