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.

Federation of African Media Women - Africa

0 comments

The development of the Federation of African Media Women by UNESCO was used to introduce and establish the concept of development through radio in the SADC region of Africa. The groups collects and analyzes regional data on media women and compile a regional media resource directory. In addition, the group prepares action guidelines for women media professionals and organizes regional workshops on gender sensitization.
Communication Strategies

A resource directory and action guidelines were produced. Workshops and training programmes for media managers for empowerment of women were provided.
Development Issues

Gender, women, media development.
Key Points

This programme was implemented in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Swaziland, Tanzania, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. A study on the presence of women in media was performed, but implementation of the project was slowed down due to a lull in the allotment of funds.
Partners



UNESCO, International Programme for the Development of Communication
