Most counterparts in Southern Africa (10 out of 24) are in a process of developing an HIV/AIDS workplace policy (including services and assistance to their staff). Ten counterparts were implementing the principle of the workplace policy but had no written implementation plan, indicators or related budget attached to the policy document (except AFSA in South Africa and Safaids in Zimbawe). On many occasions the process of workplace development was initiated by the CFAs through the organisation of workshops on workplace development, and -to a certain extent- the availability of additional funds. The (pro-active) contribution of the CFAs is very much appreciated by the counterparts. All counterparts acknowledge the importance of internal mainstreaming regarding the functioning of the organisation.

In Southern Africa, where most of the counterparts have drafted or are implementing WPP, there are no major differences between WPP development within HIV/AIDS specific organisations and the generalist organisations.
In India, organisational vulnerability to the impact of HIV/AIDS is limited to date because of the stage of the epidemic. The understanding of internal mainstreaming has not yet materialised in the Indian context (except Samuha/Samraksha and INSA. The latter has been well aware since over 10 years of issues around organisational vulnerability to HIV/AIDS but has not developed a WPP yet). None of the visited counterparts, with the exception of Plan’s partner Samuha/Samraksha, had developed a HIV/AIDS workplace policy or specifically undertaken AIDS work with staff. From the discussions there was a general understanding among the counterparts that their ‘work-related’ trainings for staff on HIV/AIDS and STD would also automatically contribute to a decrease in staff susceptibility to HIV. The South African experience shows that this automatism is not working.
A workshop was recently organised by SAN and took place two weeks before the evaluation visit. Novib and ICCO organised workshops on internal and external mainstreaming for counterparts in the North of India, starting in 2004.
The process leading to HIV/AIDS workplace policies include discussions and awareness raising activities with staff (with differences in intensity between counterparts). Approval by the board and additional costs are important bottlenecks (board that is reluctant taking into account the additional costs; in faith-based organisations the board was reluctant due to the content that was not in conformity with the promotion of condoms).
As workplace policies have not yet been actively implemented and monitored it is not possible to assess to what extent reduced denial and stigmatisation at the workplace have been reported. Based on the interviews and focus groups discussion, the evaluators are of the opinion that in Southern Africa as well as in India, there are barriers to an effective implementation of the workplace policy due to a fear of testing by staff members, a fear of disclosure or reluctance to openly discuss the impact of HIV/AIDS on personal lives amongst staff and management (some exceptions like AFSA, NISAA and SWEAT in South Africa and SAfAIDS and WASN in Zimbabwe). This observations concerns HIV/AIDS focussed as well as generalist organisations. The evaluators could not observe (based on interviews and analysis of reports) that gender relations have been discussed during the internal discussions leading to draft workplace policies.
