NACs mandate is to coordinate the national response to HIV/AIDS through the following actions:
1. Policy development (i.e.- National HIV/AIDS policy)
2. Strategy development (i.e.- National HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan)
3. Mobilize all players and stakeholders to participate in the implementation of these policies and plans
4. Capacitate implementing partners technically and financially
5. Conduct monitoring and evaluation of implementation and assess impact
6. Reporting and advising to government
7. Research to inform HIV/AIDS related decision-making

NAC has 4 thematic areas of intervention in Lesotho:
1. Prevention
2. Treatment, care, and support
3. Impact mitigation (i.e.- impacts of HIV such as increase in OVC)
4. Management and coordination (including M&E and resource mobilization)

NAC's priority area is prevention, which can impact all other program areas by reducing new infections and new HIV/AIDS-related OVC.

NAC ensures quitable allocation of HIV-related resources in Lesotho. All organizations engaged in HIV programming are responsible for reporting to NAC to achieve increased transparency and accountability.

Current research underway at NAC includes modes of HIV transmission and reduction of multiple concurrent partners. Research conclusions will inform which groups within society see the highest numbers of new infection in order to identify target groups for outreach and prevention.

NAC's Resource Centre is a specialised library, with HIV and AIDS materials.

Materials are distributed to CBOs, Organisations, and all libraries countrywide.
Individuals and freelancers can use the materials.
Schools have access to Resource Centre materials.

NAC strives to provide effective leadership in the coordination of the national response to HIV and AIDS in Lesotho thereby achieving the “Three Ones” principle of the United Nations: one coordinating body, one strategic plan and one monitoring and evaluation plan.
