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.

Global Competition on Climate Adaptation

0 comments

The 2009 Development Marketplace (DM) grant competition is seeking innovative solutions addressing climate adaptation. The 2009 global competition is funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and additional DM partners. It plans to identify 20 to 25 innovative, early-stage projects addressing climate adaptation. Winning projects will receive a US$200,000 grant for implementation over two years.

The grant competition focuses on three sub-themes:
1. Resilience of Indigenous Peoples Communities to Climate Risks
2. Climate Risk Management with Multiple Benefits
3. Climate Adaptation and Disaster Risk Management

Application Info

Special eligibility criteria apply to sub-theme one. For sub-themes two and three, non-governmental organisations, civil society organisations, foundations, and development agencies based in the country of implementation may apply without additional partners. All other groups must partner with at least one organisation; the type of partnership varies across types of applicants. Individuals cannot apply.
