The HIV/AIDS in the workplace programme aims to increase the organisational resilience of CSOs to the impacts of HIV/AIDS by improving the support offered by capacity building providers and international donors.

The survival of many CSOs is threatened by HIV/AIDS. AIDS is having an immense impact on CSOs as staff are both infected and affected. The loss of staff time through sickness and funerals; depressed morale; and rising costs for medical care leaves CSOs struggling in an increasingly demanding, results-oriented environment. While the situation is especially serious in Africa it is increasingly affecting other continents such as South Asia. 

The programme aims to:

• Improve the quality and expand the provision of capacity building services for internal HIV/AIDS mainstreaming by facilitating a global Praxis HIV and capacity building learning group, documenting and sharing practical experiences. For more information visit the learning group page.
• Influence international NGOs and donors to change their funding policies and practices in the light of HIV/AIDS. For more information visit the donor responses page.
