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.

Lewis, J. and B. Gebrian (2009). "No family left behind: The example of community-based pneumonia care in Haiti." Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved 20(4 SUPPL.): 22-30.

Abstract: The Haitian Health Foundation (HHF) in Jeremie, Haiti conducted an intervention combating childhood bacterial pneumonia. HHF treated 60,000 episodes of respiratory illness in 15 years. The same care model is used for vaccinations, exclusive breastfeeding, diarrheal disease, congenital syphilis, and newborn care.
