NACOSA – the Networking HIV and AIDS Community of Southern Africa

NACOSA was born out of a movement to draft South Africa’s first national strategic plan for AIDS. We’re now a leading networking organization and grant manager that partners with communities for better health in Southern Africa. We do this by facilitating networking and collaboration, providing and enabling access to services, strengthening community systems, mobilizing and managing resources sustainably and advocating, learning and sharing collectively.

Communities are a powerful force for change. NACOSA brings together community organisations, movements, academics and activists to collaborate, learn from each other and help lead the response to HIV, AIDS, TB and GBV in Southern Africa.

We know from the history of the HIV and AIDS response that to succeed in turning the tide on disease, violence and inequality, we must work collectively and with urgency. Join us in shining a light on the health challenges we face and raise the voices of marginalized communities.
