The mission of IFC Against AIDS is to protect people and profitability by being a risk management partner, HIV/AIDS expert and catalyst for action where HIV/AIDS is threatening sustainable development.
|
This mission statement encapsulates our strategy and role in the area of HIV/AIDS, as a development organization (in all regions), as a risk management partner and an HIV/AIDS expert (particularly in Africa), and as a catalyst for action (in regions where the overall rate of infection is relatively low, but where new infections are increasing rapidly – the “hot spots” for HIV/AIDS today, namely Russia, China, and India).
This strategy is based on the analysis of not only the epidemic's dynamics, globally as well as in the countries in which we operate, but also of private sector engagement on HIV/AIDS, including IFC’s own clients, and of the relative strengths of IFC with respect to those dynamics. It also drives the implementation and resource allocation priorities of the program (e.g. focus on Africa, preliminary presence on the ground in India, assessment of implementation conditions in Russia, raising awareness about the epidemic in China).
Our vision is to leverage the influence and comparative advantages of IFC in the fight against HIV/AIDS as the influence of IFC’s involvement on HIV/AIDS is greater than our actual programmatic presence.
Ultimately the goal of the program is to accelerate the involvement of the private enterprises in the fight against HIV/AIDS, with IFC playing a leadership role in demonstrating the role of the private sector in this area.
80% of our work is directly related to IFC investments.
The IFC Against AIDS Program is structured around three pillars of action:
Guidance, Training, and
Development and Research.
