The Communication Initiative
As of March 15 2025, The Communication Initiative (The CI) platform is operating at a reduced level, with no new content being posted to the global website and registration/login functions disabled. (La Iniciativa de Comunicación, or CILA, will keep running.) While many interactive functions are no longer available, The CI platform remains open for public use, with all content accessible and searchable until the end of 2025. 

Please note that some links within our knowledge summaries may be broken due to changes in external websites. The denial of access to the USAID website has, for instance, left many links broken. We can only hope that these valuable resources will be made available again soon. In the meantime, our summaries may help you by gleaning key insights from those resources. 

A heartfelt thank you to our network for your support and the invaluable work you do.

Equity in Access to Condoms in Urban Zambia

This paper examines the degree of equity in access to condoms in urban Zambia by analyzing data from representative samples of men and women at households in urban Zambia and providers at retail outlets. The data show that consumer access to condoms was higher for poorer than wealthier respondents as a function of greater condom availability in poorer neighborhoods. This paper finds that making condoms available in non-traditional outlets that are found in lower income neighborhood types can eliminate socioeconomic inequities in access to condoms.
