Development action with informed and engaged societies
After nearly 28 years, The Communication Initiative (The CI) Global is entering a new chapter. Following a period of transition, the global website has been transferred to the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in South Africa, where it will be administered by the Social and Behaviour Change Communication Division. Wits' commitment to social change and justice makes it a trusted steward for The CI's legacy and future.
 
Co-founder Victoria Martin is pleased to see this work continue under Wits' leadership. Victoria knows that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.
 
We honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades. Meanwhile, La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA) continues independently at cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Coordinators' Notebook: An International Resource on Early Childhood Care and Development

0 comments
SummaryText
Published twice annually since 1985 by the Consultative Group on Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD Group), the "Coordinators' Notebook" provides a synthesis of the most recent information on topics of interest to people concerned about the well-being of young children and their families.

The Notebook includes a focused, issue-based article, identified through feedback from partners and/or emerging gaps and priorities in the field. Each Notebook has a main article with related case studies, which draw upon experiences from around the world as well as news from the CG networks, new resources, and upcoming conferences.

Past article topics include "HIV/AIDS and Early Childhood", "Early Infant Development and Feeding", "Childrearing Practices" and "Men in the Lives of Children" to name a few.

UNESCO translates selected main articles and case studies into French to widen the reach, especially within West Africa. Plans are also underway to translate the Notebook into Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic and Mandarin Chinese.
