Welcome to NASOSS
Integrating Advocacy, Capacity Building, Community Engagement, and Collaboration To Strengthen Health Systems and Improve Access To Quality Healthcare Services.
Over centuries, there has been growing consensus and appreciation of the notable contributions and the central role of the community systems (CS) and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) in national development and achieving global targets.
The CS and CSOs through their advocacy for the less privileged and vulnerable members of the communities, and provision of essential services to the underserved populations, can be categorized according to their spheres of influence into global, regional, national, and local entities. They include nongovernmental organizations, faith-based institutions, community groups, professional associations, research institutes and think tanks.
