1.2 Developing Sasol SHARP training materials; training HIV/AIDS coordinators, peer educators and managers
We worked with Sasol to develop customised, unit standards based training materials for their Sasol HIV/AIDS Response Programme (SHARP) and trained coordinators, peer educators and managers. While a number of Sasol employees and managers had attended training provided during the SHARP and CHIETA programmes, it was identified that there was a need to build on previous training by providing interventions customised to suit that Sasol environment and using training materials aligned to SAQA unit standards.
For this purpose, a pre-training assessment tool was developed to assess training needs. The Sasol curriculum included modules on Sasol’s workplace policy, CSI programmes in the community as well as outputs from Sasol HIV-related research (impact studies and KAP surveys).

1.3 Organised labour training project
In this project, we delivered strategic and legal training programmes for the following trade unions: NEHAWU, SADTU, NAPTOSA, CEPPAWU, SACWU, POPCRU, SAPU and IMATU. These programmes were designed to equip shop stewards to effectively participate in the development of compliant workplace HIV/AIDS programmes as well as to ensure that the principles enshrined in local and international labour legislation and related codes are upheld when disputes related to HIV/AIDS in the workplace are managed. In addition, we implemented a national HIV/AIDS strategic management programme for shop stewards in the education and training sector. This project entailed developing a customised programme for the education and training sector shop stewards as well as capacitating 410 shop stewards across COSATU and FEDUSA federations.
