Development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

Farm Ideas

1 comment
Launched in the United Kingdom (UK), this agriculture initiative is a magazine and information source designed to allow farmers to share ideas, so that each can benefit from the experience and development of others.
Communication Strategies

Farm Ideas is a printed publication with issues available for purchase, as well as a sample issue accessible free of charge online. The motivation for this effort is based on the belief that agricultural progress happens not merely by farmers listening to the marketing departments of machinery, chemical, and genetic companies, or banks and finance houses; instead, according to the founder of this initiative, over time, farmers have developed and applied ways of working that suit their needs, and these are a key source of knowledge.

In addition to the online publication, the Farm Ideas website features agri-info, agricultural news, reports, and an interactive frequently asked questions (FAQ) section.
