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.

Best wishes. Excellent to connect with everyone this morning. We were asked to establish a coordination space on The CI platform in support of the work of the Steering Committee and Executive group.

Dear Steering committee members,

As mentioned in yesterdays meeting by Charlotte (who is heading the Outputs Sub committee), we are developing a brief questionnaire which is designed to inform the planning and development of the communication materials/outputs for this upcoming Summit.  This will be sent to the 750+ participants of the previous conference. 

If possible, it would be great if you can review and comment on the attached draft questionnaire.  You can also add your comments in Google Docs here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iEMKEy_Sx2yOa37lSqn2CR36LAiLVgDcK7P…

As we need to move on this quickly, please could you send in your comments by next week Wednesday, November 22.

If you have any questions or issues, you can either post them within this group or contact me via email on aventh@comminit.com

Many thanks, Anja
