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.

C19 Virtual Marketplace- One Stop for Supplies, Commodities and Training

0 comments

 

The COVID-19 global pandemic presents a tremendous challenge and opportunity to create a faster, more efficient response around the world, especially in the hardest to reach communities. To slow down the spread of COVID-19, efficiency and speed is of the essence.

 

CORE Group has teamed up with NeedsList to develop the C19 Virtual Marketplace, an online platform to connect in real-time the needs of local communities with the appropriate resources to prevent and respond to COVID-19. Leveraging NeedsList’s dynamic platform and CORE Group’s trusted network of local nonprofits, private sector, and Ministry of Health representatives, we have developed a custom platform and coordination mechanism for our partners and networks to request and fill COVID-19 needs for:

 

  1. Commodities such as masks, surgical gloves, other PPE, sanitation kits, or medical equipment 
  2. Knowledge management, training, and communication materials.
  3. The platform is launching in Kenya, Somalia, Ethiopia, an Nigeria in May 2020, extending to Uganda, South Sudan, India and many more in the upcoming months
