Collaborative Initiative for Paediatric HIV Education and Research (CIPHER)
MISSION: Optimize clinical management and delivery of services to infants, children and adolescents affected by HIV in resource-limited settings.
Despite notable progress in reducing vertical transmission of HIV, the paediatric population remains significantly disadvantaged regarding access to treatment, with only 43% of children in need receiving treatment in 2016. As the HIV epidemic matures, there is a growing population of adolescents living with HIV; in recent years, this particularly vulnerable group has seen a 50% increase in AIDS-related mortality compared with a decrease of 30% globally. These populations face unique challenges, which the Collaborative Initiative for Paediatric HIV Education and Research (CIPHER) is committed to placing firmly on the global public health agenda. CIPHER works through a capacity-building approach, supporting the development of young investigators

The Growing with Age platform provides employers with:
A new assessment employers can use to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their age-specific diversity and inclusion initiatives.
A Workforce Benchmarking Tool that can help businesses better understand how their age-diverse efforts compare with those of other companies. Employers can also download a tailored toolkit based on their results.
Case studies from age-inclusive organizations around the globe.
Research from AARP and other organizations to help employers build, support and sustain multigenerational workforces. If employers and other key stakeholders are to adapt to ongoing changes in the world of work now accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic they will need to reevaluate their policies and practices with an eye toward an age-inclusive workforce,” said OECD Director of Employment, Labour and Social Affairs Stefano Scarpetta in a report released simultaneously with the launch of the platform.
