Media development action with informed and engaged societies

Legacy Partners

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.

On the transfer, co-founder Victoria Martin expressed her pleasure to see this work continue under Wits' leadership, knowing that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction.

As Wits, we honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades and look forward building from that strong base. This includes co-founders Warren Feek (1953-2024) and Victoria Martin as well as La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA), which continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com with links to The CI Global site. We are also eager to forge new partnerships and entertain new ideas as we consider how best to contribute to social and behaviour change in our rapidly evolving environment.

If you are joining the International Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) Summit in Panama, please join Wits and CILA on Monday, 22 June, to share your thoughts and suggestion for the relaunch of the Communication Initiative. We will be in Pacifica 5 from 12-1:25 for the Refuel, Reflect, and Renew Lunch Series: The Communication Initiative: celebrating a driving force for Communication for Social Change and the way forward. We will reflect on the legacy of Warren Feek and family in creating the Communication Initiative, consider the contributions of CI over the years and then turn our attention towards the future in this dynamic session.

If you are unable to join us in Panama, we still want to hear from you. Please contribute your thoughts by following this link: https://redcap.link/CommunicationInitiative2026 or reaching out to ci_surveys@commint.com.

Alcohol and HIV Picture Codes Flip Chart

Mon, 11/14/2011 - 02:44

1 comment

Produced by C-Change/Namibia as part of the "Stand Up" Alcohol and HIV campaign, this picture codes flip chart is designed for field workers and volunteers to create conversations for behaviour change that focus on the drivers of the HIV epidemic. Contents of the flip chart can form part of a comprehensive HIV behaviour change curriculum or be used as a stand-alone material.

The picture codes flip chart consists of a series of pages with a photo on the front and text on the back. A facilitator shows the photo to small groups or individuals and uses the text on the back to ask open-ended questions and generate discussion. For instance, each photo could begin with the following question: "What do you see in this photo?" At the end of each series of questions are a set of "Talking Points" which the facilitator can use to sum up the main points of each discussion. According to C-Change, the flip chart can be used in community, workplace, and clinical settings with both urban and rural audiences.

The link between alcohol and HIV does not get enough attention. Like the Pact Botswana original version of this picture code, it puts the spot light on real people in real situation and is sure to stimulate discussion and reflection, the first step to inspiring changes.
