About NICE
The National Youth Information Centre (NICE) is a local non-governmental and non-profit organization founded in 2001. We have been working tirelessly to empower the youth of Tanzania to make informed decisions about their lives through education, training, and advocacy. With a focus on building a healthier and more informed youth population, our projects target key issues such as HIV prevention, adherence support, and family planning.
Based in Mbeya, NICE works closely with the Tanzanian government, the Ministry of Health, and international partners like FHI360. One of our core projects, the Meeting Targets and Maintaining Epidemic Control (EpiC), is funded by PEPFAR and USAID. This project plays a critical role in supporting Tanzania's progress towards achieving HIV epidemic control and reaching the global 95-95-95 targets.
