JAAIDS was founded in 1997, after AIDS claimed the life of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, one of Nigeria' s most popular musicians and an anti-military crusader. Omololu Falobi established JAAIDS to serve as a platform for media activism around the issue of HIV/AIDS. |
| Major Current Activities |
JAAIDS' current projects include budget advocacy and HIV/AIDS expenditure monitoring. Through its MONITOR (Monitoring Initiative to Strengthen Accountability and Monitor Implementation of the National Response to HIV/AIDS) project, JAAIDS carries out research studies to analyze the effectiveness and promote the accountability of AIDS spending in Nigeria . The JAAIDS study on HIV/AIDS allocations in the 2006 budget has earned the organization much respect for its work in this area. |
