Malawi National AIDS Commission

The Malawi National AIDS Commission was established in 2001 as a government sanctioned body to facilitate and coordinate HIV and AIDS work within the country of Malawi. The Commission would replace the contemporary National AIDS Control Programme (NACP) that had operated since the late 1980s.

The Commission outlines its goals as follows:

1. Manage and coordinate the implementation of government policies on HIV and AIDS
2. Liaise with relevant ministries as appropriate on all matters relating to HIV and AIDS in order to ensure that there are no legal, medical or regulatory barriers to information on HIV and AIDS
3. Ensure through advocacy, that all political, community, religious and traditional leaders play a strong, sustained and visible role in the prevention of HIV and AIDS
4. Develop and maintain an up-to-date information system and establish suitable mechanism for disseminating and utilising such information
5. Supervise, monitor and evaluate progress and impact of HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support and impact mitigation; and
6. Develop and institute guidelines for cooperation among the Commission, Government and other organisations and agencies in Malawi
