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.

  • Angie Dazé

The CARE Toolkit for Integrating Climate Change into Development Projects provides assistance for adapting design, implementation, monitoring & evaluation to the challenges posed by climate change. Its step-by-step structure supports the design of climate interventions with sustainable impacts to foster community resilience.

The toolkit also includes simple checklists to ensure that activities don't inadvertently increase people's vulnerability to climate change. It provides guidelines and recommended tools for all stages of the development project cycle, as well as examples. Water resource management and agricultural projects are specifically highlighted, as they were prioritised for field-testing by beta versions of the toolkit. This toolkit has been produced by CARE International, with technical input by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD).

The toolkit includes the following:

  • Tools for Integrating Climate Change Adaptation into Projects
  • Recommended Resources
  • Project Document Checklists
  • Case Studies from Ghana, Honduras, and Kenya
  • Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 
  • Toolkit Team

 

The other primary authors were Angie Dazè (CARE, PECCN), Cynthia Awuor (CARE Somalia/South Sudan ), Amilcar Lucas (CARE Mozambique), Beatrice Riche (IISD), and Julie Webb (CARE Australia). Technical inputs were provided by Charles Ehrhart (CARE, PECCN), Anne Hammill (IISD), Marcos Neto (CARE USA), and Tine Rossing (CARE, PECCN).
