Kripa Foundation Nagaland has appealed the State government and Nagaland State AIDS Control Society (NSACS) to release fund for HIV/AIDS programme implemented by various organisations (NGOs and CBOs).
Kripa Foundation Nagaland said non-release of fund by the State government and NSACS to the programmed implementers is going to have a huge negative impact in HIV programmes.

Abou Mere, Director Kripa Foundation, has strongly urged the NSACS leadership to expedite all possible actions to ensure that fund for HIV/AIDS are release for effective implementation of HIV/AIDS programme and prevent devastating setback and help reversing the HIV epidemic, facilitating the progress to zero new infections, zero discrimination and zero AIDS-related deaths in Nagaland.
