UNAIDS partners with the Algerian Business Coalition
Summary
Algerian businesses participate in the development of the national AIDS strategic plan.
In 2006, Monsieur Brahim Tourki, a businessman, was appointed vice-president of the Country Coordinating Mechanism of the GFATM in Algeria. Following this nomination:
• In June 2007, a meeting was organised locally by Monsieur Brahim Tourki between the UNAIDS Office, the ILO office, the CCM and the Algerian Business Coalition (Forum des Chefs d’Entreprises) to explore which activities could be undertaken at the middle and long term to respond to AIDS in Algeria. Activities will include:
- Information sharing on the disease (national and international data)
- Raising awareness on the importance of the CEOs’ contribution in this global fight
- Information sharing on the ILO’s work and strategy related to HIV/AIDS and the world of work
- Identification of immediate prevention actions that could be implemented by the Algerian Business Coalition.
• In July 2007, the Ministry of Health and UNAIDS have set up the first national workshop on the development of a National Strategic Plan to tackle AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Infections. The Algerian Business Coalition was invited to this workshop.
