South African National AIDS Council

The South African National AIDS Council (SANAC), chaired by the Deputy President ensures a robust response against HIV, TB and STI's and focus on building a collective and coherent approach between Government, Civil Society and Business. SANAC has made an important contribution to combating and preventing HIV, TB and STIs in South Africa, and ensure that the national response is not fragmented, narrow and lacking in the diversity of stakeholders' voices. It was established as a voluntary advisory body and not as a juristic entity. The Government then established the SANAC Trust as the legal entity in 2002 to achieve the objectives of SANAC.
