In a first of its kind for Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Business Coalition against HIV/AIDS (EBCA) in partnership with the World Bank Institute has teamed up with the Rapid Results Institute for a pilot project to accelerate the achievement of HIV/AIDS results in Ethiopian companies and deepen the impact of their actions. EBCA will use the Rapid Results Approach (RRA) to support companies to quickly achieve HIV/AIDS results that are of critical importance in their fight against HIV/AIDS. The approach will also offer business leaders a new set of skills and expertise in coaching, team building and achieving measurable results quickly. Ten EBCA member companies, from a spread of sectors, sizes and with varying levels of HIV/AIDS experience, will participate in the first cycle of the pilot programme which will run over 100 days. The orientation workshop will take place on 25 March 2008 at Hotel De Leopol, Addis Ababa, followed by a two-day training workshop to build the capacity of selected individuals from the companies and the official launch workshop on the 31 March and 1 April 2008. About EBCA The Ethiopian Business Coalition Against HIV/AIDS (EBCA) was set up in 2004 when local businesses, concerned about the impact of HIV/AIDS, agreed to launch a collaborative national business coalition. EBCA is a membership body which now helps coordinate and mobilize the business response on HIV/AIDS and other social responsibility issues in Ethiopia. To date it has mobilized over 100 businesses reaching out to more than 40,000 employees and over 150,000 family members.
