The Swaziland Business Coalition on HIV and AIDS (SWABCHA) is an independent, non-profit organisation that brings together private sector companies, unions, government, civil society organisations and development partners to ensure effective responses to HIV and AIDS in the workplace.

The SWABCHA Business Plan defines strategic, financial, and organisational priorities for the next three years. The plan links directly to the National Multi-sectoral Strategic Framework for HIV and AIDS 2009 – 2014, which designates SWABCHA as the coordinating body for the private sector.

To reach the goal of ‘25% of employees reached with at least a minimum HIV workplace programme by 2012’, i.e. doubling the numbers of employees covered by workplace programmes in the next three years,

 SWABCHA has identified three strategic objectives:
1. To coordinate the private sector response to HIV and AIDS
2. To increase and improve workplace HIV and AIDS programmes
3. To strengthen SWABCHA capacity

Among other activities, SWABCHA will achieve its objectives by:
· Bringing stakeholders together to share information, ideas, and lessons
· Working with stakeholders to define and train companies to implement a minimum workplace programme package
· Monitoring the private sector response
· Ensuring the voice of the private sector at regional and national planning and coordination fora
· Providing direct support to at least 50 companies to create workplace programmes (using the SWABCHA toolkit) and at least 25 companies will be assisted to review and improve their existing workplace programmes
· SWABCHA will also collaborate to ensure better coverage for underserved areas and/or sectors of the economy
· Resource mobilisation and membership drive
· Building organisational capacity.
SWABCHA is committed to partnerships. Success will be determined not only by SWABCHA’s own actions but also the effectiveness of its relationships with strategic partners.
