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.

Status & Trends MAP Symposium - France

0 comments

The MAP symposium was held in France in June 1998 and contributed to focusing the international attention of policy-makers, programme managers and the media on global and regional HIV/AIDS epidemics. The objectives were to present and share current knowledge, review behavioural patterns, explore current critical issues, determine data needs, identify gaps in response and produce and disseminate a report on the status and trends of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Communication Strategies

59 MAP members and participants attended the fifth in a series of symposia preceding the 12th World AIDS Conference. Knowledge sharing was followed by the creation of this report for those participants.
Development Issues

HIV/AIDS, mother and child health, TB and HIV, gaps in knowledge and action.
Key Points

The aim of the programme was to provide information that could be used by international, national and local bodies by reviewing the most important aspects of the evolution of the AIDS epidemics in the world and recognizing the current status and trends to advance regional and global responses to HIV/AIDS.
