HIV/AIDS Fund

The HIV/AIDS fund was established in 1999 through a Presidential order contained in Legal Notice No. 170. Its establishment coincided with the declaration of HIV/AIDS as a national disaster, formation of the National Aids Control Council (NACC) and the AIDS Control Committees (ACCs). The fund targets individuals infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS, with the focus being on long-term care and support. The fund is administered by NACC, which receives budgetary allocations and channels them to Aids Control Units and Constituency ACCs before onward disbursement to NGOs for implementation.
