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.

Journalist Training - Tajikistan

0 comments

This programme implemented by UNESCO aimed at the training and development of journalists to improve the overall output and quality of printing and broadcast journalism in Tajikistan. Beginning in 1994 and carried through to 1999, the project promoted a greater flow of information through the development of the independent mass media. By providing practical training opportunities for radio, television and printing journalists, a venue was established for national and international workshops and seminars.
Communication Strategies

An information/research library and data base of reference materials was created for journalists' use. Renovation work on a studio at the Tajik State University was done to provide a venue for journalists.
Development Issues

Journalism, political development
Key Points

The project implementation was delayed considerably due to the civil war situation in Tajikistan. The seminars conducted focussed on on legal, ethical and legislative matters relevance to the development of independent press.
