Media development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

Consultation: Global Mechanism for Communication, Media, Social and Behaviour Change

0 comments

Hi and welcome to the online Group for the Consultation: Global Mechanism for Communication, Media, Social and Behaviour Change. This is a space for everyone interested to share thoughts, analysis and ideas on both the rationale for this possible development (see above or click this link) and the questions below so that they are part of the overall process. If you are attending one of the informal gatherings please do contribute here in advance. That will greatly help the productivity of those events. To contribute either click "Please review" below or just reply by email to this message. Thanks. The core questions are (but please comment as you wish of course!):

In your assessment would such a mechanism bring added value to communication and media (for) development, social and behavioural change? If you answer "yes", then

What overall goals and themes would you propose as the focus of such a mechanism

What strategic approach should such a mechanism take to work towards those goal?

If your answer to Q1 is “no”, what is the basis for that judgement?

Thanks - Warren
