Development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

PEEple, A Networking Platform For Environmental Professionals

0 comments
Launched by Environmental Expert in April 2010, pEEple is a "green" network dedicated to professionals everywhere who are interested in learning, sharing, and connecting around solutions to environmental issues.
Communication Strategies

PEEple is an information and communication technology (ICT)-based forum designed to allow users to better leverage their existing network of professional contacts and communicate easily with them. It also provides a platform that enables users to share their content and professional information with the community. PEEple is based on explicit participation and mutual consent between all parties involved, giving total control over who can access their information.

Specifically, professionals and experts who join the network here may help provide the environmental industry with visibility by promoting their expertise, strengthening their professional network, and staying informed about what's happening in real time among each person's network and group connections.
