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.

Intergenerational Approach to Development: Bridging the Generation Gap

0 comments
Working with UNICEF, the ICRW reviewed the literature and interviewed staff from 25 projects to see what role an intergenerational approach can have on youth development. The brief report includes case studies and a five-part framework for approaching intergenerational programmes, covering such issues as recognising the interdependence of adolescent and adult lives, respect for each generation's unique experiences through open dialogue, and different age adolescents needing different types of adults to play supportive roles at various stages in adolescents' lives.
