Strength in community

Strong community systems play a vital role in bringing services to people, but also in taking people to the health and social services they need. Through the Global Fund programme, NACOSA has developed its own model of community systems strengthening which it is  now using to inform the work with orphans and vulnerable children and its own future strategic direction. Community systems that function well have the ability to transform the health and wellbeing of South Africans, particularly in the challenging field of TB prevention.
