2 <strong>The</strong> Context for <strong>Business</strong> Involvement in <strong>HIV</strong>/<strong>AIDS</strong><br />
Clearly, no one sector alone can make significant<br />
inroads in the fight against the <strong>HIV</strong>/<strong>AIDS</strong> p<strong>and</strong>emic.<br />
Public-private partnership <strong>and</strong> collaboration<br />
between businesses <strong>and</strong> the communities in<br />
which they function are essential in increasing the<br />
coverage <strong>and</strong> efficacy <strong>of</strong> prevention, treatment,<br />
<strong>and</strong> care. <strong>The</strong> workplace provides an excellent<br />
environment in which to implement comprehensive<br />
<strong>HIV</strong>/<strong>AIDS</strong> programs <strong>and</strong> policy reform. <strong>The</strong> business<br />
community is realizing that its own health depends<br />
on how effectively it joins forces with other partners<br />
to face these problems.<br />
Companies expect partnerships to complement,<br />
support, <strong>and</strong> strengthen national <strong>HIV</strong>/<strong>AIDS</strong><br />
strategies, to realize tangible results in the<br />
immediate term <strong>and</strong> to <strong>of</strong>fer sustainable solutions<br />
in the long run through local infrastructure <strong>and</strong><br />
capacity development.
