Needed Actions for Community Care and Development
Needed Actions for Community Care and Development(NACC) formerly called Namwera Aids Coordinating Committee is an indigenous and not for profit NGO established in 1996 as a community response to HIV and AIDS pandemic in Namwera, through a collaborative effort of Mangochi District Hospital and Social Welfare.
By then the HIV prevalence rate was 17%. Over the years, NACC has been expanding its scope of work and geographical coverage. Currently, NACC has just rebranded to its new name which has been registered by the government of Malawi but will be officially launched in November 2022. NACC is working in Mangochi, Machinga, Zomba and Mulanje districts in the Southern region of Malawi.
Needed Actions for Community Care and Development (NACC) was engaged by CRECCOM under Milimo capacity building Activity funded by USAID to train Mulepa CBO and Youth Response in Machinga District on resource mobilization strategies using home made local manufacturing products using the locally available resources for them to be able to effectively fulfil their mandate.
