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.

This health promotion framework summarises the best options to be applied in the fight against stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean. It aims to demonstrate how important the fight against stigma and discrimination is in the prevention and control of the epidemic. It outlines some key strategies in the area of reduction of stigma and discrimination in the health care setting and for application of a health promotion approach. Finally, it recommends policy and legal changes necessary to minimise the occurrence of stigma and discrimination at community level, work place, and in health care settings.
