Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
EGPAF was founded over thirty years ago to end the inequities that existed for children living with HIV. Today we are a global, multinational and multicultural organization, with 95% of our staff working in Africa. We value diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in all of our work, with a focus on health equity to address the systemic barriers that fuel pandemics, including HIV in marginalized communities.
As a global organization, we commit to listening, learning and taking action to empower our staff and the communities we serve in all the places where we work. We will use our voice to uphold the values we embrace as a global community – equality, justice and rights for all people regardless of color, creed, sexual orientation, gender, disability or national or ethnic origin.
Differences in lived experiences are a source of organizational strength. Embracing diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEI&B) at EGPAF means valuing, respecting and learning from each person’s unique qualities and abilities in order to fulfill and strengthen our vision and mission.
