More PIA/GTZ PPP Project achievements

Private Investors for Africa (PIA), Public Private Partnership (PPP) project is gaining more visibility and integrating new themes – Tuberculosis and Malaria into its programming. Among the project activities for the quarter:

• A Training of Trainer (TOT) workshop was organised to develop the capacity of PPP partners (focal persons representing supply chain companies) and to integrate the control of Tuberculosis and Malaria into the on-going HIV prevention programming in the workplace. Peer educators in four supply chain companies namely: Veepee Industries limited, Halogen Security Company, Ibadan location, Chisco Transport limited Enugu and First Aluminum Nigeria Plc, were trained on prevention, risk reduction, treatment and control of TB and Malaria.
• During the quarter, the seventh quarterly meeting of supply chains and contract companies took place at Guinness Nigeria PLC. It was another avenue for sharing ideas and opinion.
• Dr Bernd Appelt, GTZ project – PIA/PPP project supervisor, was around for project audit which included integration of Tuberculosis and Malaria into PEs programme activities and financial audit in July, 2009.
• Additional 2,500 copies of 100 Frequently Asked Questions About HIV/AIDS and ARV Therapy were printed for the use of peer educators. This was based on the request by Supply Chain Companies for reprint as the pamphlet has been exhausted due to popular demand.
