Executive Summary

The Nigerian Business Coalition Against AIDS (NIBUCAA), with support from GTZ, is working in collaboration with Heinekens, Unilever and the Diageo to improve the availability and accessibility of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria related services to employees and communities along the companies’ supply chains.
