Event Title: FIGHTING HIV/AIDS STIGMA AND DISCRIMINATION AT THE WORKPLACE Date: 10/27/2005 - 10/27/2005 Efforts to combat HIV/AIDS are greatly hampered by stigma and discrimination, especially in African states where the disease affects more than 25 million people, according to a December 2004 report by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). A videoconference on October 27, 2005, sponsored by the Health and AIDS unit of the World Bank Institute, provided a forum for sharing information, experiences, best practices, and lessons learned on fighting stigma and discrimination at the workplace. The event brought together health officials, business executives and development experts from Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, and Washington, D.C. Gift Manase, a health economist for the World Bank Institute, moderated the videoconference from the Global Development Learning (GDLN) Headquarters in Washington, D.C.
