Partners
Our Community Partners
Sub-Saharan African communities in Flanders are quite diverse and comprised of individuals from different countries. People’s social networks are often linked to their country of origin. Since the beginning of our project, we thus opted to involve community leaders and established HIV prevention networks to support us in implementing HIV-prevention activities. Since 2012, in addition to the HIV prevention networks, we have established formal collaboration with the following “key organisations”:
- Vzw Bilenge (DR Congo community, based in Antwerp)
- Edo Association Belgium v.z.w., (Nigerian community, based in East Flanders)
