  1. The Global Fund The Private Sector & Workshop 7th Regional Meeting for East Asia and the Pacific Vientiane, Laos 15-17 September 2010

  2. The Global Fund & the Private Sector • The Global Fund was established as a public-private partnership. • The Global Fund encourages the private sector to engage in all aspects of its work ranging from mobilization of resources, implementation of grants and governance of funds. • The private sector is an important partner to: • Meet the Global Fund’s long term resource requirements; • Support country stakeholders to access funds, improve programmatic performance, increase program reach and provide effective oversight; • Mobilize global and local support in the fight against the three diseases.

  3. The Business Case for Action • Businesses have an enormous stake in the fight against AIDS, TB and malaria - epidemics that affect their workforce and, if left unchecked, can rob them of their workers and their markets. • Lower productivity; • Increased costs; • Declining profits and return on investment. • Farsighted companies have incorporated the fight against the three diseases into their corporate strategy because they are convinced that there is a business case for doing so: • Control of the cost of AIDS, TB and malaria; • Conflict reduction in the workplace; • Strong markets; • General goodwill and better relations with stakeholders.

  4. The Business Case for Action • Businesses can be an effective partner in addressing AIDS, TB and Malaria as they have many comparative advantages that they can mobilize: • Core business operations and value chains – Introduce health-related programs in the workplace, upstream supply chain, downstream customer networks, and among peer industry groups. • Social investment - Support programs that fight AIDS, TB and malaria by contributing resources, expertise, product donations and other in-kind contributions. • Public Advocacy, Policy Dialogue and Institution Strengthening - Engage in advocacy, public policy dialogue and efforts to mobilize political support and resources to fight the three diseases.

  6. Group Exercise

  7. An Internal Analysis… • Identify potential areas of collaboration • Key questions: • Why do you want to work with the Private Sector and what is your goal? • Which areas need assistance? (e.g BCC, bed net distribution, etc.) • Analyze your organization • Key questions: • Does it have the capacity and the internal systems to collaborate with the Private Sector? • Are there any internal obstacles that could obstruct the public-private partnership? (Constraints because of the nature of your organization?) • What makes your organization an attractive partner? How would you recognize the partnership?

  8. … and an External Analysis • 1. Identify partners • What are the big and influential companies in your country? Do they have a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program? • Are there companies that have a particular interest in fighting the three diseases because of their business or their type of business (for instance extractive industries)? • Are there any CSR business coalitions in your country or region? Are there any business coalitions on HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria? • 2. Consult other stakeholders • For instance: the Private Sector representative of the CCM, UN agencies, NGOs, the Global Fund, the government.

  9. Group work • Produce an internal and external analysis of your country. Make an action plan based on this analysis (1 hour) • Presentation (10 minutes for each group)
