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.

Hecha la Trampa, Hay que Instaurar la Ley

Author

  • Rosa María Alfaro.
Este libro de la Veeduría Ciudadana de la Comunicación Social destaca la necesidad de discutir el proyecto de ley y Telecomunicaciones aprobado en la Comisión de Transportes, tanto en el Congreso como entre la población peruana, haciéndolo de una manera participativa.

Por ello, el primer capítulo recoge la opinión de expertos en el tema, mientras que el segundo capítulo opinan y ofrecen sugerencias los ciudadanos comunes.

Se incluye también una propuesta de Ley de Radio y Televisión preparada por la Veeduría, más exigente y propicia a generar cambios que democraticen al país en materia de comunicación, a la par que contempla mecanismos para mejorar la calidad de lo que se transmite.

Finalmente se presenta un artículo de Germán Rey quien reflexiona sobre experiencias de defensoría del lector en América Latina, como una forma de diálogo entre medio y ciudadanía.
