UNAIDS DEI Audit & Strategy | Shiftbalance Case Study

How Shiftbalance’s organisational audit gave UNAIDS a Theory of Change, KPIs, and action plan for diversity and inclusion.

Organisational DEI audit and strategy, 2025, under an ongoing Long-Term Agreement

UNAIDS asked Shiftbalance to take a clear look at where the organisation stood on diversity and inclusion, not just on paper but in practice. The engagement combined a full organisational audit, interviews, focus group discussions, and analysis of internal processes and policies, with the tools to act on what was found.

Shiftbalance delivered a Theory of Change, KPIs, and a concrete action plan, alongside speakers for UNAIDS’ Anti-Racism talks and ongoing DEI promotion. The relationship continues under a Long-Term Agreement.
