About Us

The National Forum of People Living with HIV/AIDS Networks in Uganda (NAFOPHANU) was founded on 23 May 2003 as the national umbrella organization of People living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV). It is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) registered with the National NGO Board (Reg. No. S.5914/4991).

NAFOPHANU was established to provide a country-wide systematic and all-inclusive coordination structure for People Living with HIV (PLHIV) networks, associations and support groups in order to play advocacy, policy and decision making roles in the HIV&AIDS partnership.

This decision to establish NAFOPHANU was reached through a consultative process between members from several PLHIV initiatives in Uganda, with support from UNAIDS and the HIV&AIDS Partnership Committee of Uganda AIDS Commission.
