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.

Ahead of this year's World Malaria Day on April 25 2016, the President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) is looking for photos that support the theme of "End Malaria For Good," to showcase stories of efforts to reduce malaria illness and death around the world. The winning photos will be featured on the PMI website and on PMI social media channels to celebrate progress made globally over the past decade.

Examples of photo themes that PMI is looking for:

  • Achieving scale of proven interventions (e.g., insecticide treated mosquito nets, indoor residual spraying, prevention of malaria in pregnancy, malaria diagnosis and treatment)
  • Entomological monitoring
  • Behaviour change communication
  • Logistics and supply chain management
  • Capacity building and training
  • Research and innovation
  • Data collection and use
  • Partnerships

The President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) is led by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and implemented together with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Each year, World Malaria Day "highlights global efforts to control malaria and mobilizes action to combat the disease."
