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 cila.comminitcila.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Young Voices in Research for Health: Essay Competition

4 comments

The Global Forum for Health Research and The Lancet are inviting young professionals under 30 years old, working in or interested in the broad spectrum of health research for development, to enter their essay competition. The competition is seeking entries of 1,500 words or less, written in English, French, or Spanish, on the theme "Innovating for the health of all". It is being held in conjunction with Forum 2009, the annual meeting of the Global Forum that takes place in Havana, Cuba, from November 16 to 20 2009. The winning essays will be published in The Lancet, and their authors will be invited to attend, expenses paid.

Application Info

Rules and guidelines:

 

  • Each author may submit one essay only.
  • Essays may be submitted in English or French and should be 1,500 words maximum.
  • Essays must be based on the author’s own ideas and not be derived from another source. Essays must not have been previously published.
  • Entries are individual (i.e., the work of a single author). They should include original, even provocative ideas and not be technical or academic texts: tables, charts and figures are probably not necessary; references should be limited. Authors are free to be idealistic, passionate, to take established practices to task, albeit in a constructive fashion. Within the context of research for health, the theme allows authors to include any aspect that interests them particularly - for example, extreme weather, natural disasters, fuels and energy, transport, water management, vectors, food production, demographics, urban planning, security.
