Development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

0 comments

The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene Communications Award (ASTMH) will recognise exceptional achievement in tropical medicine journalism with the potential to educate readers and inform public policy regarding diseases and health conditions specific to economically poor and under-served populations. The ASTMH Communications Award will honour an individual author (or authors contributing to a body of work) as opposed to an employer, publisher, or institution. Eligible entries will include feature-length newspaper articles, magazine articles, or series. Full-length books, book chapters, articles published solely online, and broadcast journalism pieces will not be considered at this time. Original research or technical reports, newsletter articles, and promotional copy are not eligible for the award.

ASTMH will award a cash prize of US$2,000 to the winner of the ASTMH Communications Award. The award will be presented at the ASTMH Annual Meeting. Reasonable travel and hotel expenses of the principal author of the award-winning article will also be reimbursed.
