Launch of AWiSA Network
- You, Your Work and HIV

'Nine out of every ten people with HIV will get up today and go to work.'

SAfAIDS/GIZ: 28. October 2011- For Juan Somavia, Director-General of the International Labour Organisation, this is what makes the workplace a key entry point for effective HIV prevention, treatment, care and support.

Since 2003 the 'AIDS Prevention and Health Promotion Workplace Programmes in Southern Africa' (AWiSA), implemented by GIZ (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH) on behalf of the German Government, have gained a wealth of experience in implementing comprehensive health-promotion programmes for companies in the workplace.
In order to put this experience into practice, the German Government, GIZ and SAfAIDS are launching the AWiSA Network and inviting individual experts and organisations to join this online network.

The AWiSA Network offers expertise, knowledge & information focusing on HIV & AIDS in the workplace.

The vision and objective of the Network is to offer both relevant background information on all aspects of HIV & AIDS in the working world, as well as specific tools and know-how for people and organisations working and interested in this field. Thus, the AWiSA Network is far more than just an information resource - it is also an internet-based Community of Practice (CoP) which links people, companies and organisations, providing them with a forum to exchange their experiences with HIV & AIDS in the workplace.

The Network targets individuals and organisations involved in AIDS response , whether they are company owners, human-resource managers, focal persons and peer educators, trainers, consultants or scientists.
