About

The National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) is Nigeria's primary body responsible for coordinating the national response to HIV/AIDS. It works to reduce HIV-related morbidity and mortality through strategic planning, policy formulation, advocacy, research, and implementation of interventions across the country.

History

NACA was established in February 2000 as the National Action Committee on AIDS to coordinate Nigeria's response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In May 2007 it was transformed into an agency by an enabling act.
