The goal of NANGAN is to promote: Networking, Advocacy, Information
Dissemination and Capacity Building to the member organizations for a common
cause. There are many I/NGOs working in the field of HIV/AIDS in Nepal but there
is very little sharing of effective interventions, best practices and lessons
learned, leading to duplication of work and few learning opportunities. NANGAN
feels a strong need to orient and make capable its member organisations and
strengthen their organisational capacity for a more effective implementation of
STIs/HIV and AIDS prevention, control and care programs in Nepal as well as
against stigma and discrimination. To achieve the goal of NANGAN, it is
implementing "Strengthening NANGAN's Coordination Capacity" program with the
technical and financial support from Family Health International (FHI) Nepal. We
would like to thank FHI Nepal for the, kind cooperation to NANGAN which,
ultimately support in strengthening the capacity of grass root level
organizations working in the field of HIV and AIDS prevention, control and care
in Nepal and to reduce stigma and discrimination to the peoples leaving with HIV
and AIDS as well. The need for a strong network for the joint implementation of
various programs to generate common pressure and provide recommendations to the
government and donor agencies for the proper utilization of resources and
addressing the right target groups in the proper areas, is strongly felt among
the members of the network. Therefore, I feel that NANGAN is at the forefront of
the fight against HIV/AIDS in Nepal jointly with its member organisations.
NANGAN's 7th General Assembly has been successfully completed with your great
support and kind cooperation. I am very thankful to all members who actively
participated in this General Assembly. I also would like to mention that the new
committee has been selected in a fully democratic and participatory process. I
would like to thank all the past executive board members for their support over
the last 2 years, their involvement in the executive committee has been an
effective factor in NANGAN's continued growth and they have worked hard to
establish this organisation as an active network in the field of STIs, HIV &
AIDS. I hope and request the past board members to give support to the
organisation so that it can continue to build on its achievements.
The change in the executive committee has meant the loss of some good friends
but I hope that the new team will be able to sustain the work of NANGAN which
was started by the previous board.
I always welcome all members who share information with NANGAN and its member
organisations; we build strength in the network by sharing each others issues,
challenges and successes to fight against STIs, HIV & AIDS in our country.
Your valuable suggestion and inputs are always highly appreciatable in this
regards.
Thanking you
Sincerely yours
Tulsha Amatya
President
NANGAN
