Community involvement

The Partnership Menu, developed by UNAIDS and the World Economic Forum’s Global Health Initiative, is a new tool to help the private sector find innovative HIV/AIDS partnership opportunities. It provides potential donors with a list of HIV/AIDS projects they can sponsor at the country level, ranging from youth-friendly health services, to home-based care programs, to education for orphans.

Businesses can add new know-how and corporate resources to complement existing community-based initiatives. Coordinated action in the workplace and community can reinforce and enhance the impact of programs in the places where employees, their families and other consumers live, work and socialize. For example, business and community partnerships can jointly develop programs to combat stigma and discrimination.

For an illustrative list of partnering options with community projects in different countries, visit the UNAIDS Partnership Menus.
