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.

Anti-Trafficking Programs in South Asia: Appropriate Activities, Indicators and Evaluation Methodologies

0 comments
The Population Council, the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) and the Programme for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH) led a highly participatory approach to explore appropriate activities that address the problem of human trafficking in South Asia. A Technical Consultative Meeting was held in Kathmandu, Nepal September 11-13, 2001 to discuss these issues. Approximately 50 representatives from South Asian institutions, United Nations agencies, and international and local non-governmental organisations (NGOs) attended the meeting.

The meeting was structured around three practical objectives:
  1. To clarify conceptual frameworks used to define trafficking.
  2. To identify actual and potential intervention models for the South Asian context that: a) protect the rights of trafficked persons, and b) empower current and returned trafficked persons and persons who are vulnerable to trafficking.
  3. To identify programme evaluation methodologies to measure the performance and impact of programmatic interventions.

This report summarises the principal points from each of the papers and captures some of the discussion points that emerged from each panel presentation.
