Corruption in Kenya's National AIDS Control Council

摘要

HIV/AIDS is one of the biggest challenges facing the health sector in Kenya, and was declared a national disaster in 1999. The National AIDS Control Council (NACC) was set up later that year to coordinate the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS. Its role became even more critical when the current government placed at the center of its 2003-2007 development plan the goal of achieving 90% awareness of the disease and its effects across society.The NACC was given control over funds pooled under the Kenya HIV/AIDS Disaster Response Project (KHADREP), financed by the World Bank, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and UK and US development agencies. In the 2004-2005 financial year, the NACC was allocated just under KSh4 billion (USdollar41 million). The most significant portion of its budget is channeled into community-based organizations. It claims to have channeled KSh1.8 billion (USdollar24 million) to community-based organizations from 2000 to 2003.
