Summary:

Fearing the devastating effects HIV/AIDS may have on workers on its oil palm plantations, Unilever partnered with the Ghana Social Marketing Foundation (GSMF) to improve the company's existing HIV/AIDS workplace program.

Key program components:

The program reached almost two thousand oil palm plantation employees, their families, and the two communities surrounding the plantations (estimated at 100,000 people).

Unilver provides staff hours, facilities, and transportation, while GSMF: (i) trains peer educators; (ii) educates and informs the community about HIV/AIDS; (iii) develops educational materials for Unilever staff; (iv) promotes and distributes condoms; and (v) advocates for increased attention to HIV/AIDS issues.

Program history:

This partnership was brokered by Commercial Market Strategies, a USAID-funded project designed to increase private sector participation in reproductive health issues globally.
