What national aids sti control programme nascp does

The National AIDS, Viral Hepatitis and STIs Control Programme (NASCP) is a government health programme under Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare that provides technical leadership for the country's health-sector response to HIV/AIDS, viral hepatitis, and sexually transmitted infections. It coordinates prevention, treatment, care, surveillance, and commodity supply across all 36 states, the Federal Capital Territory, and 774 Local Government Areas, partnering with state ministries of health, local government authorities, and implementing partners including PEPFAR, Global Fund, WHO, CHAI, and FHI360. As of the latest reporting, approximately 1,048,805 people living with HIV are receiving antiretroviral therapy through the national programme, and an estimated 20 million Nigerians live with chronic hepatitis B or C.

NASCP's product surface centres on a digital health platform architecture anchored by the National Data Repository (NDR), which collects patient-level HIV programme data from facilities and implementing partners, with the NDARS public dashboard and NDARS internal user platform layered on top for monitoring and analytics. The Nigeria Health Logistics Management System (NHLMIS) supports commodity inventory and distribution, while an HIV Recency Testing surveillance system enables targeted prevention interventions. The programme also publishes national clinical guidelines (notably the 2023 Viral Hepatitis Guidelines and 2024 Rapid Advice update), runs six functional components (Treatment Care & Support, Prevention, Laboratory Services, Strategic Information, Procurement & Supply Chain Management, and ACSM), and operates an AI Assistant chatbot for website navigation and information retrieval. All services are delivered free of charge to the Nigerian public.

NASCP is funded through Government of Nigeria allocations, Global Fund GC7 grants, and PEPFAR support, and is not a commercially revenue-generating entity. Its coordination role is anchored in statutory authority, national data infrastructure, and embedded donor partnerships rather than direct commercial sales; the organisation itself has approximately 29 staff, with frontline service delivery executed through implementing partners and public health facilities.

• Kenya National AIDS and STIs Control Programme (NASCOP): Kenya's Ministry of Health programme for HIV/AIDS and STI control — a structurally near-identical entity in mandate, organisation (prevention, treatment, lab, SI, PSM components), and donor funding profile (Global Fund, PEPFAR) to NASCP.
• South Africa National Department of Health HIV Programme: South Africa's national HIV/AIDS treatment and prevention programme run by the National Department of Health; comparable as the largest PEPFAR-supported ART programme globally and a peer in scale, mandate, and data infrastructure.

• WHO Global HIV, Hepatitis and STIs Programme: WHO's global technical programme that issues the normative guidelines NASCP adopts; comparable as the upstream policy/guideline authority that NASCP's national guidelines (viral hepatitis 2023/2024, HIV guidelines) are aligned with.

Others

• Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI): Global health NGO implementing partner that supports NASCP's PSM, lab, and treatment components including biannual integrated MSV meetings; comparable as a core implementation and technical-assistance partner rather than a competing entity.
