Polio eradication 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.

CORE Group Polio Project (CGPP) India Website

This online resource includes polio communication resources developed by the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and CORE, who started working together in India in 2003 as the Social Mobilization Network (SM Net) to provide concentrated support for immunisation in high-risk areas (HRAs) of Uttar Pradesh (UP). Working in 12 districts of UP and one district of West Bengal through a 3-tier network of mobilisers, CGPP aims to build partnerships within the consortium and among all stakeholders. It also strives to improve the quality of the polio eradication programme and strengthen existing routine immunisation efforts through behaviour change communication (BCC), capacity building, and monitoring and reporting systems.

In addition to detailing this work and the strategy behind it, the web resource features information, education, and communication (IEC) materials, a photo essay, case studies, dates for upcoming SNIDs/NIDs (Sub-national Immunisation Days/National Immunisation Days), and a blog.
