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.

Protecting infants of HIV-positive mothers in Malawi

Kuhn L, Coovadia HM. Protecting infants of HIV-positive mothers in Malawi. The Lancet. 2012.

Child health in southern Africa is seriously threatened by the HIV epidemic: 20—30% of pregnant women are infected in most countries in this region. Prominent among threats to child health are HIV transmission and orphanhood. The avoidance or reduced duration of breastfeeding that can occur when women learn that they are HIV-positive is no less troubling than is the epidemic.
