Mogae addresses Stockholm AIDS conference

The conference was organised by the two organisations' Swedish Workplace HIV/AIDS Programme in Stockholm. The programme aims at contributing to the establishment and support of HIV/AIDS programmes at the workplace by engaging Swedish companies and their partners in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Mogae said the Swedish organisations have helped many African countries and they are now cooperating with 50 workplaces in Botswana, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda,Zambia and Zimbabwe to encourage the management and employees to work together to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and to assist those needing care, treatment and support. He stated that southern Africa remains disproportionately affected by the epidemic.
