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

ICT Development Gateway - Morocco

0 comments
The Morocco Development Gateway (RDG) is a project that aims to create an online information, communication and networking tool owned by the Moroccan community active in social and economic development activities.
Communication Strategies
The aim of the project is to promote the use of ICT to narrow information gaps. The organisers say the team is aiming to put ICT tools in the hands of a greater number of actors in the Moroccan development community, especially those outside the Rabat-Casablanca corridor, thereby enabling greater public participation in policy making, more coordination between institutions, and wider dissemination of pertinent information to and from funding, planning and operational organisations.

The organisers developed a business plan for the project and the E-Readiness study. They are working to establish partnerships and a governance structure for the project implementation. The MDG team is also working with the Sri Lanka and Tanzania Development Gateways on selection of their technology platform.

The project is focused on specific development themes including education and literacy, water, health, income generation, environment, human rights, and women in development.It is also focused on endeavoring to produce local content in local languages.
