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.

0 comments

Web of Information for Development (WIDE) includes two initiatives to give more visibility to developing country expertise, foster communications and promote more effective technical cooperation among developing countries
Communication Strategies

"WIDE Online" is an Internet-based public access database containing user-maintained data on experts, institutions and 'best' practices in the South. "WIDE InterLink" is a network of stakeholders sharing WIDE Online to build capacity for technical cooperation among developing countries. The initiatives include 2 online Discussion Forums: WIDEFORUM-L is the WIDE Initiative discussion area, and a forum for policy dialogue and knowledge networking for strengthening the WIDE initiative and technical cooperation among developing countries; GOODWIDE-L collects and critiques innovative experiences in technical cooperation among developing countries.
Development Issues

Evaluation, cooperation, “best” practices.
Key Points

Everyone is invited to subscribe to the WIDE Discussion Forums in order to receive announcements of new services, and to participate in the implementation of the Initiative. Experts in and from the South, and institutions, are invited to register in the WIDE Database and to participate in the WIDE Initiative Discussion Forums.
Partners
