Redpeg is inviting South African-based organisations to participate in its funded Strategic HIV/AIDS Workplace Programme, which is running nationally from 2008 to 2011 in a number of locations across South Africa. The programme, which runs over a year for each participating organisation, consists of a number of key interventions that will significantly enhance participating organisations’ ability to strategically manage HIV/AIDS in the workplace. Organisations are strongly encouraged to apply to take part in the programme, which is funded and is therefore being offered free of charge.

Officials have spent the last two years using the wrong set of regulations.” said Patricia Martin, director at ACESS.
