Nigerian Business Coalition Against AIDS

What Nigerian Business Coalition Against AIDS does

NiBUCAA is a Nigerian nonprofit business coalition established in 2003 to coordinate private-sector engagement against the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Headquartered at Julius Berger Nigeria PLC's office complex in Lagos with 11-50 employees, the coalition organizes over 30 member companies spanning banking, oil and gas, construction, and conglomerates. Since founding, the organization claims to have reached over 10 million Nigerians with HIV information and services, including more than 1 million in 2018 alone, and cites over 1.9 million Nigerians living with HIV as the addressable health challenge.

The coalition runs a multi-program delivery model built on peer education, workplace policy advisory, community-based testing, and large-scale advocacy campaigns. Core programs include the NANI Project (training NYSC corps members as HIV peer educators in high-burden states such as FCT and Ogun), the Integrated HIV Programme (combining HIV with COVID-19, orphans and vulnerable children, gender-based violence, and non-communicable disease prevention), advisory services for workplace policy co-creation and Social ROI measurement, free HIV counseling and testing through Heart-to-Heart Centres and a toll-free hotline (6222), and the End HIV Campaign targeting 5 million Nigerians across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones. Strategic alliances with NACA, NYSC, UNAIDS, OraQuick, and member-led initiatives from Access Bank, Total E&P, and Shell provide operational and distribution reach.

NiBUCAA is funded through membership contributions from corporate members, donations across multiple channels (End HIV Donation, PLWHA Impact Fund, Impact Makers Donation, fundraisers), and volunteer labor; membership pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of CEOs from member corporations (including Access Bank, Total E&P Nigeria, Dangote Group, Julius Berger Nigeria, and Shell Petroleum Development Company) with a separate Board Advisory Committee. No private equity, venture capital, or external investor ownership structure is disclosed in the source data.
