This document provides a summary of a directory of health promotion programs and resources for HIV and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. The directory aims to support organizations working with CALD communities on HIV-related issues. It includes summaries of program activities, objectives, outcomes, evaluation details, downloads, and contact information for each listing. The feedback on the directory was positive, noting it is a valuable resource for research and ideas. Recommendations include organizations using the resource, updating it regularly, and holding a forum to further build capacity and identify programs for national support.

HIV and CALD communities: A directory of health promotion programs and resources
1. HIV and CALD communities
A directory of health promotion programs and resources
2.
3. Building on AFAO’s
mapping of African
health promotion
Feedback on the African
mapping:
•‘It’s a fantastic resource for
research before starting a
new project’
•‘I’d never thought of soccer
as a way of engaging, but
we’re now doing our own
tournament.’
•‘It will help people think a
bit more outside the box,
especially in ways that
challenge the stigma of
HIV.’
4. The mapping aims to
support organisations
that work with CALD
communities on HIV-
related issues
Each listing includes:
•summary of activities
•program rationales, aims
and objectives
•Information about
outcomes & evaluation
•links for downloads
•contact details
12. Lessons learned
Fantastic work being done
Community control/peer-leadership is vital
Funding uncertainty a significant obstacle
13. Recommendations
That health promotion workers obtain and use the
resource
That the resource be updated on a regular basis
Hold a national forum on HIV and mobile populations
to further build capacity of health promotion agencies
and identify programs or resources that could be
supported at a national level
That effective programs be assured of continued
funding.
In 2015, AFAO developed a resource for health promotion workers, HIV and CALD Communities: Mapping health promotion programs and resources, which lists over 70 health promotion programs and resources that have been developed to engage with CALD communities around HIV prevention, awareness and support.
The resource is an update and expansion of AFAO’s 2013 mapping of health with African communities.
Picture shows Alison Coelho, who was at the time an AFAO Board member, who launched the mapping at an African community meeting at the time of the ASHM conference in Brisbane in 2015.
The next few slides will go through how you can use the mapping.
Shows how it’s organised – at a glance view of what’s happening around the country.

This montage gives you an idea of the huge range of initiatives that are showcased in the resource, which include: music, video and drama activities, translated resources, community forums, World AIDS Day events, soccer tournaments, cultural competency training, print resources, social support groups, outreach, peer education, advocacy, and internships.
One size doesn’t fit all, especially in relation to genuine community engagement and leadership around health promotion, but by showing the rationales and evaluation info about other programs, the resource can help you to think about how you might approach your own work. You can also ring the key contacts to chat about their listing if you want to find out more.
Programs that have evaluated well may also help you in terms of providing supporting evidence for your own funding proposals and advocacy initiatives.
Listings of resources specifically for service providers
As well as providing a great overview of what’s going on in this space in your state/territory and around Australia.
Australian health promotion programs and agencies are developing and implementing a wide range of projects and resources in partnership with peers and communities. These include music, video and drama activities, translated resources, community forums, soccer tournaments, cultural competency training, print resources, social support groups, outreach, peer education, advocacy, and internships.
Give the forum a plug – 30 May, spaces still available, funding limited.
Mapping is available online from the link on screen, some hard copies available (make sure we take some).
