The Pakistan National AIDS Consortium (PNAC) is a network of 5 provincial/regional NGO networks throughout Pakistan. PNAC was founded in 2000 and is constituted of the Punjab AIDS Consortium (PAC), the Sindh AIDS Network (SNNHA), the Balochistan AIDS Network (BAN), the Northwest Frontier Province AIDS Consortium (NAC), and the Northern Areas AIDS Control Consortium (NAACC). Each provincial/regional consortium represents member NGOs, who work to prevent HIV/AIDS in Pakistan and/or to provide care and treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS. PNAC does not currently have members, but instead represents the provincial/regional consortia at the national level and in the future will provide support and services through a professional staff to the provinces.

In 2004, the European Commission (EC) and DFID funded a project entitled “Building-Up Rights-Based Approaches to HIV/AIDS in Pakistan: A National Civil Society Capacity Building Project.” Commonly known as the TAMEER Project, this programme aims to enhance the capacity of HIV/AIDS NGOs and to help them be effective and enduring partners in public-private sector partnerships fighting HIV/AIDS. This includes governance, strategic, organisational, technical and project identification and management capabilities, and increased joint planning and coordination. The TAMEER Project is implemented by PNAC, with partners including Interact Worldwide Pakistan (IWP), KIT Health (Netherlands), AIDOS (Italy), and the Centre for Population Studies of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
