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.

Request for Proposals to Document Contributions of NGOs and Civil Society to Polio Eradication and the Potential for NGOs and Civil Society to Address Other Health Priorities through Community-based Approaches

0 comments

The CORE Group Polio Project (CGPP) is inviting front-line practitioners, non-governmental organisation (NGO) staff, academics, researchers, and others to author scholarly research articles documenting the contributions of NGOs/civil society and CGPP member NGOs to polio eradication. They hope to publish 10 such articles in a peer-reviewed, open-access journal as a way of sharing critical lessons learned in the past 18 years, highlighting successes, and promoting the tools, strategies, and innovations developed by CGPP that have relevance for control of other important diseases.

The deadline is March 17, 2017.

Applicants should present a 2-page proposal detailing the main objective of the paper, research methods to be used, available data for analysis, and a brief biography. All proposals and papers must be submitted in English. Applicants must adhere to the journal standards, requirements, and deadlines (CGPP staff will provide guidance to achieve the objective of the open-access publication). A grant of US$1,500 will be awarded to each author selected for participation who submits a paper satisfactory for submission to a peer-reviewed journal.
