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.

Global Health Corps - Fellowship Program

0 comments

Global Health Corps (GHC) will recruit and match partner organizations, according to their specific needs, with recent university graduates with requisite skills. Partner organizations will identify an area of their operations that stands to benefit from a fellowship team. Assignments for GHC fellows will have specific parameters with a timeline and defined metrics for success. Fellows will be chosen for specific assignments following an extensive application and interview process. They will be selected based on their experience, character, and knowledge, and based on their possession of the specific skills necessary to accomplish the designated assignment. Each fellowship team will be composed of at least one pair of fellows, one from the United States and one from the country where the partner organization works.

Although GHC fellows will be selected based on their possession of the specific skills required for their assignments, all fellows will complete a rigorous Summer Training Institute sponsored by Stanford University's Center for Health Policy consisting of basic coursework in global health, along with language, culture, and leadership courses. In the months leading up to the Institute, fellows will be assigned reading materials related to their country, their partner organization, and their specific project. GHC will also work with partner organizations to conduct in-country orientations at the beginning of each assignment to help fellows settle in for their terms.
