Swedish Workplace HIV/AIDS Programme (SWHAP)

The Swedish Workplace HIV and AIDS Programme (SWHAP) contributes to the response to HIV and AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa. It was jointly initiated in 2004 by the International Council of Swedish Industry (NIR) and the Industrial and Metal Workers’ Union of Sweden (IF Metall). The main aim of the SWHAP is supporting companies and employees to prevent further spread of HIV and reduce the effects of the pandemic at Swedish related workplaces. The SWHAP presently operates in Botswana, Kenya, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is co-financed by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency, Sida.
