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.

Mobile News Grants

0 comments

The Mobile News Grants, sponsored by the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), invites newspapers that are launching or expanding their mobile services, or who wish to access training and consultancy from African and international experts on mobile web, mobile advertising, mobile election monitoring, and many other topics, to apply for small-scale technical assistance grants of up to EUR5000. Among the key criteria for proposed projects is the potential for economic sustainability. The project will provide funding, consultations, and training to newspaper companies in Sub-Saharan Africa. As well, up to three successful applicants will be given the opportunity to attend the WAN-IFRA World Newspaper Congress and World Editors Forum in Vienna in October 2011. Registration fees, travel, and accommodation costs will be met by the Mobile News for Africa project. Applicants should indicate their availability on the application form.
