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.

Insight Malaria Film Project

0 comments

This competition invites young filmmakers from four countries, Germany, Italy, Poland, and Spain, to apply to travel to Kenya for the film shooting of "Insight Malaria" in September 2010. Young people between 18 and 25 years old will jointly develop the screenplay of the film and thereby learn more about the fatal effects of malaria. Professional film producers from Germany will assist and support the group before, during, and after the shooting.

Within the "Insight Malaria" film production, the project is intended to focus on the effects malaria has on the daily life of people in Africa and how they deal with them. The campaign particularly focuses on adolescents and aims to promote participation and intercultural learning. Thus, the film will be completely shot by young people from the 4 countries involved in the competition and from Kenya, supported by a professional film team.
