Exchange Visits. Each year the Parties will organize and finance visits in each direction by postdoctoral scientists in all fields of academic research, especially in the natural sciences and technology, in two categories:
Exchange Visits. The Parties agree to regularly conduct meetings and exchange visits to assess the state of implementation of this Agreement.
Exchange Visits. Exchange visits are foreseen regularly. Alternately, a delegation from West Presbytery/Cameroon travels to Tuebingen/Germany and from Germany to Cameroon. The costs shall be shared in a way to be negotiated by the partnership committees.
Exchange Visits. The exchange visit programme was created in 2000 at the request of the National Focal Points. The main aim of the exchange visit programme is to facilitate and encourage co-operation and exchange of information between NGOs and CBOs in EU member countries that are concerned with the issue of AIDS and mobility. Preferably, the target group of the programme should be members of ethnic minority or migrant communities who are working in NGOs and CBOs in EU member countries with a special focus on HIV prevention and/or care for minority populations. A maximum number of 20 participants were budgeted for this project period. A comprehensive information package for the exchange programme, containing the profile for participants, the requirements for enrolment and reading materials on international co-operation, was compiled in the second half of the year 2000. The first visit took place in March 2001. Until September 2001, 16 people visited organisations abroad with funding and support of the European Project AIDS & Mobility. Of these 16 persons, 10 have a migrant background and the other 6 are working in HIV prevention and care aimed at migrant communities. Two of the exchange visits have been mutual, i.e. that two people visited each others' organisations. Participants in the exchange visit programme were required to write a short report, fill in the evaluation form and disseminate their lessons learned to their colleagues. The evaluation of the exchange visit programme showed that the majority of participants were very enthusiastic about the programme.
