Born out of a national convention to draft the first national strategic plan for AIDS, NACOSA is now a leading national civil society organisation working collectively to build stronger, more equal, and healthy communities free from the burden of HIV.

We do this by strengthening community systems, mobilising and managing resources, facilitating networking and collaborations, providing and enabling access to services and advocating, learning and sharing widely.

NACOSA works at all levels across the country - from international donor agencies, the corporate sector and national government, right through to sub-district services and small, community groups.

Strengthening Community systems for NACOSA focuses on building networks of Community Based Organisations and Community Leadership.
