Phases applied research
To maximise the learning from the development project, an applied research study is part of each country pilot project. This will enhance the development of better strategies during and after the project. The main objective of the research is to identify and analyse factors which influence successful development and implementation of HIV and AIDS workplace policies. Good practices that will enable the development of better strategies — in other settings too — are identified and documented during the process.
The applied research consists of three phases, each with a different focus:
- Phase 1 – development of workplace policies
- Phase 2 – implementation of workplace policies
- Phase 3 – effects and impact of workplace policies
