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.

Fellowship Programme - Social Science in Humanitarian Action

1 comment

The Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP) is delighted to announce its call for the next Fellowship Programme to begin in September 2021. Funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the Wellcome Trust, SSHAP is looking for future leaders in social science to be able to apply their knowledge in humanitarian emergencies in locally relevant ways.

Applicants must be a national of and currently living in a lower- or middle-income country (LMIC) and either (i) a social scientist with research experience or (ii) a public health or humanitarian response practitioner in a position to influence design and/or rollout of humanitarian activities. Each of the 12 successful applicants will receive a £2,000 honorarium.

SSHAP's vision is to encourage emergency responses that are effective, adaptive, contextually informed, and based on social and interdisciplinary science and evidence. The programme will pair social scientists with practitioners to facilitate and encourage interdisciplinary collaboration and knowledge exchange. In working closely with partners and colleagues from SSHAP, the fellows will play a vital role in realising SSHAP's vision.

Click here for more information; click here to apply. The deadline is Monday, July 12 at 9 a.m. BST. Please contact Annie Lowden a.lowden@ids.ac.uk with any questions.
