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 lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

MalariaCube

0 comments
The MalariaCube is a tool designed to help educate and inform people on the causes, treatment, and prevention of malaria. Conceived in 2010 through the collaboration of several health and humanitarian aid organisations, the MalariaCube uses pictures to tell the malaria story. The Cube, which comes with a detailed instruction sheet, unfolds to reveal what the publisher describes as important facts about malaria prevention in a simple and clear fashion. Field testing was conducted in Africa through the first quarter of 2011. The MalariaCube is a seven-panel, puzzle cube that unfolds and flips to reveal images that emphasise key facts about malaria, such as: • What is Malaria? • Who can get Malaria? • What does not cause Malaria? • How can you prevent Malaria? • What are the symptoms of Malaria? • What should you do if you or a family member show symptoms of Malaria? • How can you save lives by helping your family and community understand what to do about Malaria?
