The Communication Initiative
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.

It will be interested to identify chanllenges in the SBCC use and how we succeed to meet them. In my experience, assessment, monitoring  and learning help us to identify some gaps and solve its. I'm really looking forward to discover differents challenges and succeed througt SBCC in developping countries. Finger crossing to get a scholarship to attend the SBCC Summit. Yes, two of my abstracts were accepted and they are on social norms shift! Don't miss if your are opportunity to attend.

Technologies like mobile internet can be very much useful for efficient SBCC programs. However, 3G penetration has been inadequate in comparison to requirement. Furthermore, device manufacturers and government must also come forward to make mobile devices cheaper and affordable. Another way of making devices available to the people may be through microfinancing schemes.
