Media development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

I have been greatly inspired by the highly organised level of valuable information diseminated on this site. The search mechanism has been eased to the ordinary level that i can acess any information i want just at the click of a mouse.

I am thrilled more, even to find award competitions which have pushed me be more innovative and creative as well as working hard by adjusting on my scheduele to fit in these new plans and actitivites i have found oin line.
