Guyana is one of five Caribbean countries in which significant progress has been reported in the International Labour Organisation’s (ILO) Strategic HIV/AIDS Responses in Enterprises (SHARE) project.
According to a press release, an ILO report, which is to be released on Tuesday next, reveals that new programmes designed to step up action against HIV/AIDS in the workplace are becoming increasingly common in the Caribbean. The report, titled ‘Saving Lives, Protecting Jobs’ names Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago as having successfully put in place policies and programmes addressing discrimination and behaviour change in and through the workplace.
