Quality 0.00 · 0 views · Updated 1 month ago

The Uganda AIDS Commission (UAC) is a non-governmental organization (NGO) established by parliamentary statute in 1992. Its headquarters are currently located in the capital city Kampala, and it receives funding from both the parliament and outside donors. The Commission's main objective is to coordinate and monitor the implementation of the national strategy to combat HIV/AIDS, adopted by the Government of Uganda in 1990. It aims to transform Uganda into "A Population Free of HIV and its Effects" by strengthening governance and management systems, resource mobilization, advocacy and communication for the National HIV Response, and strategic information for evidence-based decision making. Although the UAC does not engage in direct implementations of interventions, it provides valuable oversight and coordination of all HIV/AIDS related activities in Uganda.
