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.

Sharing your Health-related Social and Behaviour Change knowledge and learning.

Many best wishes. This is a follow-up to the introduction to the Breakthrough ACTION agreement note sent a few days ago. 

An important part of this process is to facilitate the sharing of your health-related social and behaviour change (SBC) knowledge and ideas in support of the work of other programmes and initiatives. The 103,000 people in The CI network and over 1 million users sessions per annum on the platform provide a base for that sharing as a contribution to strengthening efforts to increase integration of proven SBC interventions in health and development programmes worldwide.  

You can undertake that sharing at this link - just complete the title and body fields, add an image if you wish, and click “save”.

Alternatively, simply send an email to me, and I will take it from there.

In addition to the summary of your work/thoughts, please provide us with the URL(s) where the resource (or information about the project) may be found, as well as any documentation that will help us provide a complete citation. Our editorial team will then develop a summary of your resource or project, contacting you via email to ensure that it is OK.

Though Breakthrough ACTION and The CI are interested in all SBC initiatives focused on health issues, some of the specific areas of focus include: family planning and reproductive health; HIV/AIDS; malaria; and maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH), with additional attention to health security issues and emerging pandemic threats and other infectious diseases. There is a cross-cutting emphasis on gender equality, female empowerment, and youth.

We would welcome information about resources or projects that incorporate any SBC strategies, including: emerging SBC approaches such as behavioural economics and human-centred design; innovative monitoring and evaluation of SBC; best practices in integrated (cross-health area or cross-sectoral) social and behaviour change communication (SBCC) interventions; and SBC capacity development strategies for institutions and individuals.

Many thanks for sharing - either directly on this form (complete the title and body fields, add an image if you wish, and click “save”) - or send an email to me with your information, and I will take it from there. For this initial request we would like to set October 31st, 2019.

Best wishes and thanks - please do let me know if you have any questions.
