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.

Gamifying SRHR Education in Ethiopia

0 comments

Hello everyone!

I have just finalized leading my own pilot research "Gamification in SRHR" aimed at piloting the strategy gamification for influencing positive youth sexual and reproductive health and rights choices. Here is a publication on FP2020's tumblr that explains my motivation for choosing to research the area:http://fpvoices.tumblr.com/post/168499274249/yeabsira-bogale-rise-up-yo… Targeting SRHR education to a narrower age group within the broad age bracket of 10-29 was one of my motivations to explore what works for influencing A&Y SRHR choices.

My abstract has been accepted for the 2018 International Social and Behavior Change Communication Summit (#SBCC2018) and I hope  other gamification ethusiasts and social and behavior change communication experts will find it interesting. I think it's important to see how to integrate the strategy with other pillars as it holds a lot of promise for properly contextualizing health messageses for this group and effectively influencing the field of social and behavior change communication.

Thank you very much!
