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.

This book introduces the stories of six women who, through education and empowerment, developed the intention to become a force in the fight against AIDS. These women participated in the Advancing Women's Leadership and Advocacy for AIDS Action programme, an initiative that aims to equip and empower a growing cadre of women worldwide with the knowledge and skills to advance the global response to AIDS. Partners include the Centre for Development and Population Activities (CEDPA), International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS (ICW), National Minority AIDS Council (NMAC), and the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS- (UNAIDS-)led Global Coalition on Women and AIDS. The initiative is made possible through a grant by the Ford Foundation.
