Based on the recommendations of the EU Advisory Group on Migration and Health, a matrix of European migration health projects was developed as part of the Assisting Migrants and Communities (AMAC) project. The objective was to explore synergies amongst European Commission funded projects and especially those funded under the EC Public Health Programme 2006-2008. Nineteen projects were included in the analysis, covering topics such as different types of lead partner organisation, participating countries, deliverables, objectives, beneficiaries, areas of study/action and stakeholders.

This guidebook was written to assist people from from many cultural and language backgrounds, especially young people and their families, to better protect themselves. It also aims to take away fear, to enable dialogue and to help in fighting stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV, AIDS or hepatitis. The AIDS & Mobility Europe project brings together people from many languages and cultures.

This guide has been written for the AIDS & Mobility Europe (A&M) Master Toolkit. The A&M project 2008-2011 served as a pilot project to test whether the transcultural mediator model could be successfully implemented in a range of different sites and with diverse key populations. Partners decided at the beginning of the project that documenting the model and its materials would be a main result and output. 

Marking World AIDS Day (December 1st 2010), the AIDS&Mobility (A&M) Europe 2008–2011 project held the seminar “With Migrants for Migrants: Improving HIV Prevention for All” on 30th November 2010. The International  Organization for Migration (IOM) organized this event at the European Parliament in Brussels to mobilize European stakeholders, practitioners and policy makers at EU and national levels for HIV, mobility and migrant empowering strategies. The results of this event are elaborated on in this report.

The final project report documents the achievements of the AIDS&Mobility Europe project 2008–2011. It also highlights the experience and learning the A&M project partners 2008–2011 have accumulated during the pilot implementation of the A&M transcultural mediator model in HIV prevention with migrants, ethnic minorities and mobile populations across six European project sites.

The AIDS&Mobility Future Development Report has been developed to complement and operationalize the Recommendations on policy and practice on HIV/AIDS prevention in Europe emerging from the Conference “With Migrants for Migrants: HIV Prevention for All” (30th November 2010, European Parliament), the major policy event of the EC cofunded AIDS&Mobility (A&M) 2008–2011 Europe project, organized by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
