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.

Nansen Refugee Award

0 comments

Administered by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), this award is named for Fridtjof Nansen who is remembered for his pioneering work on behalf of refugees. The Award, consisting of a medal and a US$100,000 monetary prize, is given out yearly to a person or group for outstanding services in supporting refugee causes.

Candidates should be an individual or group whose dedication to, support for and personal interest in refugees has been demonstrated by an innovative approach to refugee protection or assistance. Of equal merit would be a courageous deed involving personal self-sacrifice that made an exceptional contribution to advancing interest in, or support for the cause of refugees, or improving the situation of refugees.
