Responding effectively to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the world of work

2.1 ENABLING ENVIRONMENT

2.1.7 Institution and capacity strengthening on IE

Recommendation: 8. When developing capacities to provide support to people dependent on the IE, use a broad range of organisation development approaches beyond only providing training. These may include organisation analysis to determine strengths and gaps and providing direct technical support to build on strengths and address gaps.

Reference: Zegers, Mei, 2014, Responding effectively to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the world of work – Final evaluation, Evaluation Summary, ILO, Geneva, Covered countries: Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Zambia, China, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Brazil, Guatemala, Jamaica, Ukraine, Tajikistan.

Evidence sample: finndings indicated that capacity strengthening was provided in the form of training, guidance during meetings, and direct technical support while developing strategies and plans. This methodological system of combining different approaches to strengthen capacities was very effective as they complemented and reinforced each other.

2.4 APPROACHES TO ENHANCE LIVELIHOODS, EQUITY AND INCLUSION

2.4.7. Strengthening IE with attention to people affected by HIV

Recommendation: 2) Consider in project design that organising informal enterprises into associations and cooperatives, helps to provide channels to effectively and efficiently channel resources and messages on HIV.  Include SBCC on HIV in projects with people dependent on the IE.

Reference: Zegers, Mei, 2014, Responding effectively to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the world of work: Country programmes – Final evaluation, Evaluation Summary, ILO, Geneva, Covered countries: Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Ivory Coast, Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Zambia, China, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Brazil, Guatemala, Jamaica, Ukraine, Tajikistan.

Evidence sample: Where countries are undertaking actions to formalise informal enterprises, which often include organising them into associations and cooperatives, ILOAIDS can more effectively and efficiently channel its resources than in situations where this is not yet being undertaken.
