RFI:Impact of HIV/AIDS on small and medium enterprises (SMMEs)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Colleagues,
I am busy preparing a literature review on the impact of HIV/AIDS on
small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in sub-Saharan Africa. The lit.
review forms part of a larger 24-month DFID funded project, which
will eventually produce a series of policy recommendations and
HIV/AIDS workplace interventions for SMEs in Mozambique. I am looking
for assistance and guidance with the following:
1 Helpful definition of SMEs in SSA, particularly in SADC countries
2. Examples of programmatic interventions in SMEs or between large
enterprises and SMEs for HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment in the
workplace
3. Articles on SMEs in SADC or SSA
4. Interviews (in person, telephonic or e-mail based) with key infor-
mants such as finance enterprises, large enterprises in supply chain
relationships with SMEs, state departments and donor agencies in Zim-
babwe, South Africa and Botswana. Any and all information regarding
the above would be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
