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. 

On the transfer, co-founder Victoria Martin expressed her pleasure to see this work continue under Wits' leadership, knowing that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction. 

As Wits, we honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades and look forward building from that strong base. This includes co-founders Warren Feek (1953-2024) and Victoria Martin as well as La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA), which continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com with links to The CI Global site. We are also eager to forge new partnerships and entertain new ideas as we consider how best to contribute to social and behaviour change in our rapidly evolving environment.

If you are joining the International Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) Summit in Panama, please join Wits and CILA on Monday, 22 June, to share your thoughts and suggestion for the relaunch of the Communication Initiative. We will be in Pacifica 5 from 12-1:25 for the Refuel, Reflect, and Renew Lunch Series: The Communication Initiative: celebrating a driving force for Communication for Social Change and the way forward. We will reflect on the legacy of Warren Feek and family in creating the Communication Initiative, consider the contributions of CI over the years and then turn our attention towards the future in this dynamic session. 

If you are unable to join us in Panama, we still want to hear from you. Please contribute your thoughts by following this link: https://redcap.link/CommunicationInitiative2026 or reaching out to ci_surveys@commint.com.

Assignment Justice: A Practical Guide for Sudanese Journalists

0 comments
This 40-page manual, produced by Institute for War & Peace Reporting (IWPR) Netherlands, is designed to increase the capacity of Sudanese journalists to report on issues related to international justice, the courts, and local trials. According to the publishers, reporting on international justice is one of the most important and challenging assignments that journalists will encounter in their careers. International justice has all the elements of a good story: opposing sides, tension, human interest, and real-life drama. However, international justice is a sensitive topic that requires informed, responsible, and objective reporting. Drawing on IWPR's training experience in other countries in which the International Criminal Court is active, such as Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, the manual supports journalists to understand international justice and produce balanced, accurate stories on the subject and related issues.
