Funding for Sexual Prevention: Other Sexual Prevention (HVOP): $0

The project, funded in FY09 and FY10, supports the GOI “National Policy on HIV in the World of Work”, launched by Ministry of Labour and Employment (MOLE) in 2009, and contributes to PEPFAR/India’s goals 1, 3 and 4: access to quality services; country leadership and commitment; and health systems. The USDOL/ILO approach mobilizes and builds capacity of national stakeholders to address HIV prevention, stigma and discrimination in the workplace and enhance social protection for PLWH.

In FY12, ILO will:

1. Support development and implementation of a model intervention targeted at most at risk migrant/informal workers and increase access to HIV services in selected sectors.

2. Strengthen institutional capacity of MOLE; National AIDS Control Organization (NACO); State AIDS Control Societies (SACS); and employers’, workers’ and private sector organizations to implement the National Policy. Technical assistance to these institutions will have nation-wide impact.

This project will strengthen the collaborative mechanism among the SACS, state Labor Departments, trade unions, employers’ organizations and the private corporate sector. This institutional capacity strengthening improves sustainability of the efforts and supports country ownership; the collaboration with MOLE and its institutions, and investment of GOI funds for activities, will ensure financial sustainability.

USDOL and ILO have a comprehensive monitoring and evaluation system to ensure continual improvement of activities. A Project Management Team, chaired by the Additional Secretary MOLE with membership from NACO, employers’ and workers’ organizations, UNAIDS and networks of PLWH, supervises and monitors progress.
