[PDF] AIDS and the private sector: The case of South Africa - Private action for the public good: Moving HIV programmes into the community
This Briefing Paper provides a snapshot of MNC [multinational corporation] programmes that focus on AIDS outside the workplace. It explores the ‘business case’ for the MNC response to the epidemic and highlights some of the debates about the role of businesses in a national response. While the Briefing Paper is focused on South Africa, it offers lessons that may be appropriate for businesses responding to AIDS in other countries.
