Description

NACOSA is a network of over 1,600 civil society organisations working together to turn the tide on HIV, AIDS and TB in Southern Africa. NACOSA promotes dialogue, builds capacity with accredited training, mentoring and technical assistance and channels funding to support service delivery on the ground. NACOSA’s programming works to reduce the impact of HIV, AIDS, TB and other socio-economic conditions and contribute to the global strategy to bring about the end of AIDS by 2030. In line with South Africa’s National Strategic Plan and UNAIDS’ 90-90-90 Fast Track targets, NACOSA focuses on young women and girls, sex workers, those most affected by gender-based violence, children and youth, and other vulnerable and key populations.

Each year, NACOSA’s programmes reach over 200,000 people affected by HIV, AIDS and TB.
