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.’

The mapping aims to support organisations that work with CALD communities on HIV-related issues
