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.

The Afg Technical Advisory Group found that the polio programme had slipped backwards and the communication programme was particularly problematic as it not resolved several serious staffing gaps and had lost its sense of strategic programmatic direction at the community and social mobilisation level.  On the bright side it also found that these gaps and weaknesses had been identified and the programme was moving to correct them.

The TAG report is now finalised and will be posted soon.
