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.

Impact: Community Media

0 comments

The Communication Initiative has been collecting from the network and summarising research and evaluation that measures the impact of community media initiatives. 220 of these can be reviewed here - with filters for you to further refine to your specific interests such as a country or particular development issue.  We would very much welcome you using the comments facilities on The CI platform to please (a) share any impact evaluations that you use or cite as demonstrating the effectiveness of community media strategies (b) likewise any studies or papers that reference that show the struggles of this field of work to demonstrate impact and (c) from the research and studies here, filtered to your interests, highlight the impact research that is most compelling. Sharing your analysis and insight will help everyone to review and imprrove their community media focused work. Thanks - much appreciated - Warren
