Social Norms
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.

Communication and Good Governance in West and Central Africa' seeks to strengthen the human and technical capacity of communication media in 10 countries (Benin, Chad, Equatorial Guinea, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Liberia, Mali, Sao Tome & Principe and Togo) in order that they can contribute effectively to the process of good governance.

As part of this process UNESCO has held and plans future sub-regional and national workshops on themes including: the concept of good governance; role of media in good governance; law, good governance and communication; legal framework and media practice; and media, peace and conflict resolution.

Development Issues



Democracy, political development, peace.

Media organsiations which have the trained human resources and strengthened technical capacity to gather, process, produce and disseminate news and information to different segments of the society can contribute considerably to general development and to buttress democracy and good governance in Africa.
