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.

Equity for Children

0 comments
The Graduate Program in International Affairs (GPIA) at The New School in New York, the United States (US) has created an online forum dedicated to providing students, professors, academics and practitioners with a virtual space for learning, research, and communication on issues related to child poverty, rights, social and minority disparities, evaluation in the context of development, and art and culture projects created by children. The goal of Equity for Children is to work together as a network to improve the living conditions of children worldwide by encouraging learning and discussion on the issue of how to ensure that every child is treated with the same respect and is offered equal opportunities.
Communication Strategies

This initiative draws on an interactive web space to enable thinkers to join forces and create a synergy that ensures the realisation of children's rights in the context of economic and social development and change. The website highlights these issues in topical areas, in the hopes of ameliorating the problem through thoughtful interaction by a network of interested participants.

 

Specifically, visitors to the Equity for Children website may learn about initiatives that have children as the main stakeholders by perusing various summaries (with links to/information about obtaining further details), access resources and links, and/or engage in discussions with like-minded students, alumni, faculty, researchers, and policymakers. One of the core goals of this platform is purely educational in that it seeks to provide an interactive tool for students to apply knowledge acquired in the classroom; to develop skills and gain experience that augments coursework learning; and to exchange learned experience and knowledge with experts. In this way, the site is a place for generating and sustaining a commitment to equity for children at all levels of academic and research fields.
