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.

0 comments
Event/Training Summary

The African Network for Strategic Communication in Health and Development (AfriComNet), a network of 1,200 strategic communication practitioners in 49 countries, will be holding this three-day practical workshop on HIV prevention among married and co-habiting couples in Africa. The aim of the workshop is to familiarise participants with the changing context of the HIV epidemic in Africa and designing tailored approaches to communicating prevention with these couples.

AfriComNet hopes to bring together 80-100 HIV/AIDS communication practitioners, programme implementers and policy makers from across the continent to analyse and share practical experiences, tools, research and educational materials, synthesise and package lessons learned for wider dissemination. The overall aim is to help HIV/AIDS programmes in Africa to refocus prevention efforts on issues relevant to couples in order to keep in step with the changing epidemic.
