Funding

The National AIDS Council mainly receives funding for the national response to HIV and AIDS from The National AIDS Trust Fund (NATF) commonly known as the AIDS Levy, which was introduced by the Government in 2000 through the National AIDS Council Act Chapter 15/14 of 2000 and the donor community. The Act mandated individuals and companies in Zimbabwe to pay three percent of their income and corporate tax towards the National AIDS Trust Fund which would be used to finance various programmes to respond to the HIV and AIDS pandemic . The first deductions for the AIDS Levy were effected in January 2000.
