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.

Community contribution to TB care: a Latin American perspective

This report describes the results of a literature search on community-based tuberculosis (TB) care in Latin America, and of field visits to selected community-based TB care projects in Bolivia and Colombia. These visits were made in order to understand the origin, performance, acceptability, effectiveness, and sustainability of some existing DOTS projects. Three sites in Colombia and two in Bolivia, where the DOTS strategy is already implemented, were visited.

Lessons learned from this community contribution to TB, will inform and guide our activities in ESARO in the areas of community IMCI and PMTCT/CCD. Thanks for sharing.
