Social norms action with informed and engaged societies
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.

A-Frame for Advocacy

2 comments


  1. Analysis - The first step in effective advocacy, starting with accurate information and in-depth understanding of the problem, the people involved, the policies, the implementation or non-implementation of those policies, the organisations, and the channels of access to influential people and decision-makers.
  2. Strategy - The strategy phase builds on the analysis phase to direct, plan, and focus on specific goals and to position the advocacy effort with clear paths to achieve those goals and objectives.
  3. Mobilisation - Events, activities, messages, and materials must be designed with your objectives, audiences, partnerships and resources clearly in mind.
  4. Action - Keeping all partners together and persisting in making the case are both essential to carrying out advocacy
  5. Evaluation - a team needs to measure regularly and objectively what has been accomplished and what remains to be done.
  6. Continuity - Articulate long-term goals, keep functional coalitions together and keep data and arguments in tune with changing situations.
