HIV/AIDS Workplace Education Programme in the Caribbean
ILO, through its global programme on HIV/AIDS and the world of work (ILO/AIDS), has entered into partnership with the United States Department of Labour (USDOL) to develop workplace education and prevention programmes in several affected countries. Four Caribbean countries are included in this international programme:
1. Belize
2. Guyana
3. Barbados
4. Jamaica
To date, ILO has signed two co-operative agreements with USDOL for the implementation of this international workplace education programme. Belize and Guyana form part of the first agreement signed in September 2002, covering the period 2002-2006. Barbados and Jamaica were included in the second agreement, signed in 2003 and covering the period 2003-2007.
Programme Strategy
The programme aims at increasing the capacity of the ILO’s tripartite constituents to develop and implement, in a collaborative manner, workplace HIV/AIDS prevention and education programmes and polices addressing stigma and discrimination. The strategy will build upon ILO’s comparative advantage in advocacy and policy development particularly drawing on the Code of Practice on HIV/AIDS and the World of Work.
The ultimate aim of the project is to develop sustainable national programmes on HIV/AIDS and the world of work integrated into the appropriate programmes of the collaborating partners. In this process every effort will be made to sensitize, mobilize and build the capacity of the tripartite constituents.
