Leveraging the power of industry: strategies to fight HIV/AIDS (128kb)

This report details the outcomes of the forum "Leveraging the power of industry: strategies to fight HIV/AIDS", an event convened by the Global Business Coalition on HIV/AIDS (GBC) and the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC).

The goals of this gathering were to:

- Educate business leaders on economic threats of the HIV/AIDS pandemic
- Address new challenges facing the global response to HIV/AIDS
- Build upon existing and emergent efforts of private firms in the formation of effective business responses to global HIV/AIDS

The overall outcome of the forum was that it identified a clear need to develop networks and partnerships among organisations that are tackling similar issues to generate an array of potential solutions. Building upon existing and emergent efforts of private firms in the formation of effective business responses to HIV/AIDS, continued dialogue, and collaboration by all parties will result in a unified integrated strategy against this global crisis.
