The response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic originally was considered to be the primary responsibility of the Government of Tanzania (GOT), but eventually it was recognized by both the GOT and the business community that the private sector needed to dedicate more of its expertise and resources to complement the work of the public sector and other civil society organizations.

In this activity the Chamber of Minerals and Energy will reach out in COP 2010 to artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) community, which is one of the most marginalized and isolated of MARP groups. An onsite clinic will be constructed or renovated and equipped by the CME with financial support from the mining company nearest to the ASM camp, and the district is to provide medical staff. Bridge2Aid (B2A), a charity providing dental care in Tanzania, has a mobile unit that it will loan to the project. The organization has granted permission to refit the unit as needed for the project at Chamber expense. Thus both facility-based and mobile clinic health care will be provided to ASM families. The mining company will make available its medical staff and facilities as needed and will partner with NGOs to help in conducting a comprehensive outreach program in prevention, testing/counseling, care/treatment and home-based care.
