The impact of HIV/AIDS on businesses in Africa and Asia will be the focus of four workshops this year, the first at Harvard University on Feb. 20-21. The university is organizing the event in partnership with the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS. The GBC is an alliance of international businesses dedicated to combating the AIDS epidemic.
Ken Casey will represent World Vision at the workshop. Mr. Casey is special representative to World Vision International's President on HIV/AIDS. Additional workshops sponsored by Harvard and the GBC will take place in Beijing, China (April 13-15); Durban, South Africa (June 10-13); and Cambridge, Massachusetts (September 4-5).
“A global response to HIV/AIDS is incomplete without the active involvement of the business community,” Mr. Casey said. “Corporations can provide prevention programs, address the needs of affected employees and communities, and advocate strongly for government policies and programs that effectively address HIV/AIDS.”
