JOBS IN TANZANIA>>>National Aids Control Programme (NACP)
In Tanzania, institutional efforts to combat HIV/AIDS began in 1985 with the creation of a national task force within the Ministry of Health. This was because the HIV/AIDS epidemic was first seen as a health problem, and initial control efforts were formulated and integrated within the health sector. In 1988, the task force was transformed into a completed National AIDS Control Program (NACP).
Since 1989, AIDS control efforts have been decentralized to districts and districts. Since 1992, control efforts have also started in the non-health sectors. By the year 2000, there were 23 more sectors that joined the national response to HIV/AIDS and developed action plans to combat AIDS including all counties in the country.
During all this time, the NACP remained the central coordinating unit as the secretariat of the National AIDS Control Commission (NAC). In addition to coordinating, the NACP has continued to serve as the principal executive agent for the Ministry of Health as well as respond to the needs of other non-health sectors.
