A Word from the new Executive Director

As the incoming Executive Director of the National Forum of People Living with HIV/AIDS Networks Uganda (NAFOPHANU), i wish to welcome you to this our website, where we share, and listen to you for the greater good of People Living with HIV (PLHIV), their families and stakeholders in Uganda.
I am committed to strengthening the organization mission to empower People Living with HIV (PLHIV) to lead quality and productive lives. My vision for NAFOPHANU is to have a well coordinated, robust, and inclusive structure of People Living with HIV Movement in Uganda as well as having People Living with HIV and the Most Vulnerable at Risk at the Centre of the HIV response towards ending AIDS by 2030.

To achieve this vision, we will and must address several immediate needs, including an institutional and constitutional review: the strategic plan review for 2025-2029, and managing the changing priorities of donors and the political context in Uganda. Additionally, we must mitigate the impact of President Trump Executive Order and Stop Work Order on our operations.
By addressing these needs, we can ensure that NAFOPHANU remains operational and effective in its mission.
Looking ahead, our key objectives include seeking meaningful partnerships to end AIDS by 2030, promote community-led health financing sustainability; mobilize for a permanent NAFOPHANU home; demonstrate accountability to our membership, donors, and government; and fostering resilience and wellness within our secretariat and the broader PLHIV movement. I am committed to working tirelessly to achieve these objectives and ensure that NAFOPHANU remains a strong and effective advocate for PLHIV and their families in Uganda.

Ms. FLAVIA KYOMUKAMA
