The Communication Initiative
Development action with informed and engaged societies
The Communication Initiative
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.

And now for something completely different! Normally, The Drum Beat provides answers: programme ideas, strategic thinking outlines, evaluation and research results, and much more. In today's issue, we ask questions about what is happening in communication and media for development, as well as social and behavioural change action and thinking. It's meant to be a chance for you to examine yourself, in a fun kind of way. Sorry to break it to the winning contestant(s), but there is no formal prize. On the bright side, informally, the prize is this quick refresher. Thanks - please have a go at all 20 questions. And if you have feedback and ideas prompted by what you see below, please email Kier at kdevries@comminit.com
