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. 

On the transfer, co-founder Victoria Martin expressed her pleasure to see this work continue under Wits' leadership, knowing that co-founder Warren Feek (1953–2024) would have felt deep pride in The CI Global's Africa-led direction. 

As Wits, we honour the team and partners who sustained The CI for decades and look forward building from that strong base. This includes co-founders Warren Feek (1953-2024) and Victoria Martin as well as La Iniciativa de Comunicación (CILA), which continues independently at lainiciativadecomunicacion.com with links to The CI Global site. We are also eager to forge new partnerships and entertain new ideas as we consider how best to contribute to social and behaviour change in our rapidly evolving environment.

If you are joining the International Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) Summit in Panama, please join Wits and CILA on Monday, 22 June, to share your thoughts and suggestion for the relaunch of the Communication Initiative. We will be in Pacifica 5 from 12-1:25 for the Refuel, Reflect, and Renew Lunch Series: The Communication Initiative: celebrating a driving force for Communication for Social Change and the way forward. We will reflect on the legacy of Warren Feek and family in creating the Communication Initiative, consider the contributions of CI over the years and then turn our attention towards the future in this dynamic session. 

If you are unable to join us in Panama, we still want to hear from you. Please contribute your thoughts by following this link: https://redcap.link/CommunicationInitiative2026 or reaching out to ci_surveys@commint.com.

Handbook of Indicators for HIV/AIDS/STI Programmes

1 comment
This handbook was created to define the key indicators for monitoring and evaluating the Strategic Support Objectives (SSO) of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)'s HIV/AIDS strategy, to promote the use of standard indicators for the monitoring and evaluation of USAID's HIV/AIDS country programmes through the Results Review and Resource Request (R4) process, and to facilitate the adoption of global indicators for the monitoring and evaluation of programmatic areas that will be covered by USAID's HIV/AIDS programmes in the future.

For each indicator - definitions, data sources, purposes and strengths and limitations are described.

Where is the handbook? What are the key indicators? Who are the indicators directed towards.

Editor's note: The Handbook is available online and the link to it is indicated under the summary description. It is a PDF document on the Synergy Project website. It is a 129 page document which is full of indicators. Too many for us to list within the summary.
