KANCO is an acronym that stands for Kenya AIDS Non-Governmental Organizations Consortium. It is a network comprising of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Kenya that focus on addressing the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
KANCO was established in 1994 with the aim of coordinating the efforts of various NGOs involved in HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment, and support in Kenya. The consortium brings together a wide range of organizations, including community-based groups, grassroots organizations, faith-based organizations, and civil society organizations, all working towards a common goal of combating HIV/AIDS.
As a network, KANCO acts as a platform for sharing information, experiences, and best practices among its member organizations. It also plays a crucial role in advocating for policies and programs that promote effective HIV/AIDS response in Kenya. By uniting various stakeholders, KANCO harnesses collective strengths and resources to develop strategies and implement projects that address the diverse needs of communities affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Through its work, KANCO aims to reduce the spread of HIV, improve access to quality HIV treatment and care, and mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS on individuals, families, and communities in Kenya. The consortium collaborates with government agencies, international organizations, and other key partners to achieve its objectives.
In summary, KANCO is a network of NGOs in Kenya dedicated to addressing the challenges posed by HIV/AIDS through coordinated efforts in prevention, treatment, care, and support.
