commission on HIV/AIDS and governance in Africa CHGA interactive: HIV/AIDS and the world of work BY FRED SAI

Abstract

CHGA’s main output is the Final Report, which will be released in June, 2005. The report will address gaps in responses to HIV/AIDS and knowledge of its side impacts. HIV/AIDS impacts all key sectors of the socio-economic development, including the state sector. The private sector plays a number of key roles in society. These includes provision of employment; generation of tax revenue, investment capital, and foreign exchange; development of human capital (training); and provision of social services to employees and communities. The ability of the private sector to achieve each of these is being challenged by HIV/AIDS.
