Development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

SummaryText
The Academy for Educational Development has designed a series of posters that aim to help deliver messages that teach communities the risks associated with avian influenza (avian flu or bird flu) and proper procedures for responding to outbreaks. The posters are part of a behaviour change communication (BCC) strategy to promote positive health outcomes.

There are 8 posters available designed for the African region, Vietnam and Cambodia.
  • Africa: What We Can Do to Protect Ourselves from Bird Flu - provides advice for people to protect themselves if they see a sick or dead bird, or if they hear of an outbreak.
  • Africa: What We Can Do to Protect Our Flocks from Bird Flu - provides advice for those keeping poultry and mentions that a vaccine may be advised.
