The Nhlangano AIDS Training Information and Counselling Centre (NATICC) is a church-based, non-profit-making NGO that provides information, training and counselling on HIV/AIDS in Nhlangano, Swaziland. The formation of the organisation in 2002 was prompted by the fact that the Shiselweni region has continued to have high infection rates (42.5% in 2004) as compared to other regions in Swaziland.
NATICC is affiliated to the Free Evangelical Christian Fellowship of Swaziland. It is funded by NORAD, the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, and by Norwegian Church Aid. NATICC comprises a team of well-trained HIV/AIDS educators and counsellors. The centre is based at the Bethesda Mission Station in Nhlangano but reaches out to the whole of the Shiselweni Region. NATICC is the Voluntary Counselling & Testing (VCT) Centre for Nhlangano Town.
