In April, 2004, the SEEP Network hosted a virtual information gathering session on HIV/AIDS and BDS. The goal of this virtual session was to identify strategies that enhance the participation of HIV/AIDS affected individuals in the economy. This forum also provided an opportunity for HIV/AIDS and economic development professionals to share insights and lessons learned that can be of use to both fields. Read more in the publication, “HIV/AIDS and BDS Virtual Information Gathering Session - Lessons Learned and Identified Strategies April, 2004.” The document draws the lessons learned from the current experience in the field that was shared during the ten-day virtual information session. SEEP also sponsors a working group on HIV/AIDS an Microenterprise development. A "Compilation of Daily Discussions" is also available.
