Journalists Against AIDS (JAAIDS) Nigeria is a media-based non-governmental organisation in Nigeria working in the field of HIV/AIDS and development.
We are your information source on HIV/AIDS in Nigeria and the West African sub-region.
Our job in JAAIDS can be summarized in two words-effective communication. By that we mean initiating a communication process that brings about behaviour change not just amongst the populace but within the policy environment. To achieve this, we have design cutting edge projects, which are both knowledge impacting and skills building for media professionals in the reporting of HIV/AIDS issues. Our target is that these communication and advocacy efforts create a system for developing redemptive albeit sustainalble intervention programmes that would advance the national AIDS response.
Our Vision
is a Nigerian society where all persons are able to freely and conviniently access information, facilities and services on health/HIV and are empowered to utilise these for their personal protection and national development.
Our Mission
is to contribute to the prevention, care and control of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria by providing innovative communication interventions that will facilitate positive behavior change to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS.
