President Museveni has received considerable praise for his willingness to confront AIDS from the time that the NRM took power in 1986. This openness, including encouraging a wide variety of government bodies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to address HIV prevention in a variety of ways, is credited, in part, with reducing national HIV prevalence from about 15% to 6% during the 1990s; other factors include the high level of deaths from AIDS and increasing girls' education.
