preparedness and response planning. At our sites, we develop plans, grounded in scenario\/risk assessments, to protect the public, the environment and infrastructure in the event of a significant incident. We also implement actions to limit the severity of impacts, should an incident occur. We coordinate closely with Malagasy emergency responders in both preparedness and response activities, and we regularly conduct joint training exercises with them.<\/p>\n<p>In accordance with international standards for industrial risk management, Ambatovy works in partnership with regional authorities to reinforce local capacity in emergency preparedness and response, including the National Office of Disaster Risk Management (BNGRC), the support in the establishment of Regional Committees for Industrial Risk Management (CRGRI) for the Atsinanana and Alaotra Mangoro Regions as well as the creation of Intervention Preparedness Plans (Plans de Pr\u00e9paration d\u2019Intervention, PPI).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16664 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/ang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/4Q4B8863-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"651\" height=\"434\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fusion-text\"><\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\"><li><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-ad530f706561b5cc79b\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-hiv\/aids\" href=\"#tab-ad530f706561b5cc79b\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\">HIV\/AIDS<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-hiv\/aids\" id=\"tab-ad530f706561b5cc79b\">\n<h1 style=\"font-weight: 300; margin-top: -20px;\">HIV\/AIDS<\/h1>\n<p>Although Madagascar has a relatively low prevalence of AIDS (with an adult prevalence estimated at below 0.3%) and the country has fortunately thus far been able to escape the worst of the pandemic that has hit much of Sub-Saharan Africa, the risk of an outbreak still remains a constant threat. HIV\/AIDS prevention and awareness therefore remain an integral part of Ambatovy\u2019s social commitment in the field of health. Our HIV\/AIDS efforts target employees and communities using a participatory approach through collaboration with various external stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p>Within the workplace, the Employee Peer Educator Program has been a key element in our HIV\/ AIDS campaigns. Ambatovy also regularly takes part in World AIDS Day celebrations every year with activities and events to raise-awareness and support testing. In fact, our commitment to implementing the national policy on HIV\/AIDS and fighting against stigma and discrimination in the workplace received <a href=\"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/ang\/ambatovy-awarded-by-unaids-for-its-actions-against-hiv-aids\/\">an award from UNAIDS in 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10265 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/ang\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Photo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"284\" \/><\/p>\n<p>At the community level, we continue to support a network of 10 youth kiosks, renovated and constructed in partnership with the United Nations Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF), that provides support and information to at-risk youth along the RN2. The kiosks are run by youth peer counsellors who are provided training in order to educate their peers on HIV\/AIDS prevention.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-6{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-6 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-6{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-6 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-6{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-6 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-3{ padding-top : 3%;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 2%;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;}<\/style><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":14281,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14288","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14288","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14288"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14288\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18737,"href":"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14288\/revisions\/18737"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ambatovy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14288"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
