National AIDS Documentation and Information Centre
was established by Uganda AIDS Commission after Uganda's multisectoral policy highlighted the need for an Information base to promote
stakeholder informed decision making.
NADIC has over the years served the needs of HIV/AIDS stakeholders (the primary target audience) at various levels and the general public through the library, audiovisual and database sections. It is widely recognized as a one stop centre for a wide range of HIV/AIDS information on the epidemic.
Information by all stakeholders involved in the fight against HIV/AIDS through the partnership and the twelve Self Coordinating Entities is deposited at NADIC and made available through our services.
