Description
In November 2019 the ILO Governing Body adopted an updated strategy on HIV and AIDS in the world of work, to contribute to reaching the 2030 Agenda goal of ending AIDS by 2030. The strategy responds to the evolving landscape of the HIV and AIDS epidemic. It takes into consideration the needs and guidance of the ILO tripartite constituents. As a cosponsoring organization of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) the ILO’s work also supports the implementation of the UNAIDS new strategy which aims at reaching out to people who do not yet benefit from HIV services providers, especially young women and girls in Eastern and Southern Africa and key populations anywhere in the world. The project primary stakeholders are the ILO tripartite constituents (Ministries of Labour, Employers and Workers organisations) who will be involved in the project delivery. The target groups include: - Institutional beneficiaries: public sector officials (including labour inspectors) and employers’ and workers’ organizations members - Direct beneficiaries: managers and workers in formal employment, in targeted sectors where workers have occupational or behavioural risks of HIV transmission (for example health, transport, mining); informal economy women and men workers, workers in rural areas and remote settings and young women and men. The project has a twin track strategy: - 1) HIV specific: focuses on promoting rights, providing HIV capacity-building for ILO constituents and HIV information and services at or near the workplace for all. It includes promoting and protecting fundamental rights at work, in particular ensuring equality and non-discrimination, irrespective of HIV status, preventing and addressing violence and harassment and promoting the employment of workers affected by or at risk of HIV. - 2) HIV integration in relevant areas, in order to further extend the outreach of HIV prevention, care, information and action to a greater number of beneficiaries, and to leverage ILO resources. The strategy also builds on the ILO Centenary Declaration for the Future of Work and the proposed programme of work and results framework for 2020–21, in particular Outcome 6 on “Gender equality and equal opportunities and treatment for all in the world of work”. Implementation at the country level will be aligned with UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Frameworks and ILO Decent Work Country Programmes. Finally, the project has a global outreach, to support constituents, at their request, in HIV high-burden countries in Africa, Asia, the Americas and Europe, and in other countries where there are strategic entry points.SDG
