NACO

The National AIDS Control Organisation (NACO) was launched in India in 1992 along with the Phase I of the National AIDS Control Programme (NACP), with the help of World Bank loan. NACO, which functions as an autonomous body, is currently suffering from fund shortage. This comes even as the UN has warned that the COVID-19 pandemic will negatively impact programmes like HIV prevention programmes due to insufficient funds.
