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.

CPR: E-learning for Health Professionals Serving Gay and Bisexual Men

0 comments

CPR is an e-learning hub assembled by The Global Forum on MSM (men who have sex with men) & HIV (MSMGF) offering continuing education opportunities for health professionals to ensure that sexual health programmes for gay and bisexual men are aligned with World Health Organization (WHO)-endorsed global standards for services. "This includes a major focus on interventions across the full HIV services continuum, including prevention, treatment, care and support." The site is developed for healthcare providers, community and government clinic workers, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and community-based organisations (CBOs), policy makers, and other health sector stakeholders. It is made possible with support from the Levi Strauss Foundation and the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The site content is delivered via video lectures and ebooks on the following 5 topics (as of July 2016):

  • Defining Community Empowerment 
  • Power and Health
  • Key Elements of Community Empowerment, Part 1
  • Key Elements of Community Empowerment, Part 2
  • Monitoring Progress on Community Empowerment Initiatives

CPR content is mainly based on the UN [United nations] guidance document, the MSM Implementation Toolkit or MSMIT, and other key source materials such as the MSMGF’s own 9-module provider training curriculum developed with Johns Hopkins University."
