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.

Center for Training & Research in Public Health (Cefpas) - Sicily

0 comments

Center for Training and Research in Public Health (Cefpas) is a public board of the Sicilian Regional Government, created to carry out training and research for the improvement of health services and care.
Communication Strategies

Targeted mainly at social and health professionals in Sicily and other Italian regions, Cefpas develops "student-centered" courses for social and health professionals. Work in small groups is based on problem solving and interactive methodologies. Cefpas has also hosted cultural events, congresses, meetings and workshops. They have created an Observatory for Human Rights and Health which will develop programmes and actions in relations to violations of human, animal and environmental rights.
Development Issues

Political development, children, health, education, rights.
Key Points

They believe that major violation of human rights may have serious repercussions not only on the health of humans, but also on the health of animals and of the environment. They have developed a training programme for Management of Tuberculosis programmes in developing countries and are seeking an appropriate funding mechanism for this.
