The Eastern Africa National Networks of AIDS and Health Service Organizations (EANNASO)
The Eastern Africa National Networks of AIDS and Health Service Organizations (EANNASO) is a regional umbrella body bringing together civil society (CS) and community group (CG) voices to inform policies and improve the programming of HIV, TB, Malaria and other health issues present in the communities. Found in 2002, EANNASO is made up of seven (7) national networks of AIDS and Health Promotion Service Organizations in the following countries (Burundi, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, South Sudan, Tanzania [Mainland and Zanzibar] and Uganda).
Though EANNASO is an east Africa membership organization, she works with CS and communities in the broader Anglophone Africa as she remains the only surviving sub-regional HIV, TB and Health network. EANNASO is known for coordinating civil society and community expertise as its strongest niche and building on existing capacities to strengthen the voice of CS and CG.
