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 lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Non-Profit Organisation (NPO) Helpline – South Africa

8 comments
This is a helpline that aims to provide information and advice to NGOs and CBOs in South Africa. The project provides information ranging from relevant development institutions to information on funders.

Interfund, with assistance from the European Union, launched the NPO helpline to provide callers from NPOs with a range of information and details to assist their organisations to better manage and support their activities.
Communication Strategies
The service provides NGOs, CBOs and NPOs with information that includes:
  • Contact details of and information on important NPO regulatory institutions, including the Department of Social Development NPO Directorate, SARS, the Registrar of Companies etc.
  • Contact details for NPO donors and referrals to information on donors active in South Africa.
  • An overview of the procedures for registration of NPOs, and referral of necessary application details and formats.
  • Provision of easy to use formats and systems for NPOs to use in their operations and planning.
  • Assistance with EU grantmaking and procurement modalities.
The helpline number is 0860676463 and is monitored during normal working hours, and operates on a national "sharecall" basis (that is, the cost of a local call to the caller). The operators are familiar with NPO environment, and will respond immediately to queries wherever possible. More complex requests and queries are responded to within 3 working days.
