The overarching aim of this project is: supporting our partners to reduce the impact that HIV and AIDS has on their work, thus safeguarding performance and effectiveness.
The project approaches "Managing HIV and AIDS in the workplace" from two different perspectives, that of:
Local NGOs
STOP AIDS NOW! aims to stimulate and support its local partners in the development and implementation of a comprehensive HIV and AIDS workplace policy. This workplace policy includes a stigma reduction strategy.

STOP AIDS NOW! wants to set a good example, to re-think "business as usual". Our aim is to define our position as donors in the process of managing the organisational impact of HIV and AIDS of our local partners. Once this position has been defined, STOP AIDS NOW! will try to motivate other donor organisations to go through a similar process.
