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.

The Role of SBC in HIV/AIDS Treatment, Adherence, and Care

Over the course of the session, the panel will provide a platform for open discussion on the continued role of SBC as a key tool to achieving 90-90-90. The panel will demonstrate how development practitioners can look to SBC for a catalog of past successes, ways to address challenges and pitfalls, as well as for innovations for the future, that support and enhance the enabling environment for progressively effective HIV interventions.
