Development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

Innocenti Report Cards Series

1 comment
SummaryText
This ongoing series from the Innocenti Research Centre of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) focuses on the well-being of children in industrialised countries. Each Report Card includes a "league table" ranking the countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) according to their record on the subject under discussion. Topics covered have included child care, child poverty, educational disadvantage among children, teenage births, and child maltreatment deaths. The Report Cards are published every six months and are designed to appeal to a wide audience while maintaining academic rigour.

The 2008 publication is entitled The Child Care Transition: a league table of early childhood education and care in economically advanced countries authored by Peter Adamson. All of the publications are available for purchase in a print copy for US$12 and free of charge in downloadable PDF format.
