A two-week capacity-building course on HIV/AIDS and the world of work, with a prevention, gender equality and social protection perspective. At the end of the training, the participants will have increased knowledge and skills that will enable them:
- To understand the policy and legal environment for HIV/AIDS in the world of work, based on the principles of the ILO code of practice and the new international labour standard on HIV and AIDS and the world of work. This knowledge will enable participants to develop effective HIV and AIDS workplace policies at the national, sectoral and enterprise levels in their countries.
- To strengthen HIV prevention in the world of work, covering formal and informal economies, communities, engaging private sector and people living with HIV. This knowledge will enable participants to develop practical approaches for undertaking/expanding prevention programmes for workers in formal as well as informal economies.
- To apply social protection approaches/models and understand their importance in contributing to prevent HIV and mitigate its impact on people living with or affected by HIV. This knowledge will enable participants to apply social protection approaches for offering care, treatment, social security, and income support to people living with HIV or affected by HIV.
The ITC-ILO learning approach is participative, competence-based, experiential, collaborative and it builds on existing experience and diversity. Deadline for applications: 11 October 2013
