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.

0 comments
The Community Information Network for Southern Africa (CINSA) is a project designed to support Community ICT initiatives in the SADC region through research, networking, training, service brokerage, facilitating technical support and project evaluation, and creating an online information resource base.
Development Issues

ICTs, Community Development.

Key Points

Programme organisers state that civil society communities in the Southern African Development Community have experimented with ways of using Information Communications Technologies (ICT) as tools for development. There is a need for stakeholders within the region to share experiences, learn from each other, generate new ideas collectively, and lobby for more effective access to ICTs based on country specifications.

Partners

The secretariat is SANGONeT (South Africa), the three nodal points are the Tanzania Association of NGOs, Epsilon and Omega (Malawi) and e_brain Forum (Zambia). More than 15 other partners are also part of the project.Funders are The Open Society Initiative For Southern Africa and the International Development Research Centre.
