Health action with informed and engaged societies
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.

The Beat It! HIV/AIDS Treatment Literacy Series is a training resource that consists of a series of video programmes and accompanying workbooks in PDF format. The series provides an introduction to the core information needed to respond creatively to people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in their environment. This series was designed to support discussion and workshops on HIV/AIDS treatment literacy.

The 21-part series, available on the internet, DVD, or VHS, combines personal documentary accounts of PLWHA with expert advice and explanations. This material is designed to assists facilitators to conduct HIV/AIDS Treatment Literacy workshops. The series is currently (2009) being digitised in Portuguese, isiXhosa, and isiZulu.
