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.

The Guardian International Development Journalism Competition

0 comments

The Guardian and the United Kingdom (UK) Department for International Development (DFID), in partnership with eight UK-based international non-governmental organisations (NGOs), invites new voices in journalism from the UK who are writing about issues facing the developing world today - issues that are often overlooked or under-represented by the media.

There are two strands of entry into this competition. One is for professional freelance journalists (people who have been published before - excluding student journalists - who are not employees of media organisations). The other is for anyone who is not a professional journalist, including amateurs and students.
