The Communication Initiative
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.

Palliative Care as a Human Right - Vienna World AIDS Conference (July 18-23 2010)

0 comments
Information on "Palliative Care as a Human Right" (Wednesday July 21 2010, from 11:00-12:30, in Mini Room 5) - includes a focus on how to advocate for palliative care and HIV care integration. Requesting your response and ideas...

Facilitated by Liz Gwyther from South Africa, this session will work to build capacity of groups to conduct advocacy for palliative care as a key component of HIV care. The organisers of this session have developed a rights-based approach to palliative care that is centered on identifying specific legal obligations of governments. It allows people living with HIV (PLWH) and AIDS activists to advocate for specific changes required to ensure adequate availability of palliative care.
