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.

Communities Confront HIV Stigma in Viet Nam: Participatory Interventions Reduce HIV-Related Stigma in Two Provinces

0 comments

Nyblade, L., Hong, K. T., Anh, N. V., Ogden, J., Jain, A., Stangl, A., . . . Ashburn, K. (2008). Communities Confront HIV Stigma in Viet Nam: Participatory Interventions Reduce HIV-Related Stigma in Two Provinces. Washington, D.C.: International Center for Research on Women.

Since 2002, the Institute for Social Development Studies (ISDS) and ICRW have been working with the Communist Party of Viet Nam to fill knowledge gaps about stigma, build stigma-reduction capacity among community service providers and leaders, and provide concrete tools and recommendations to communities and their leaders for tackling stigma. This report highlights the community interventions and results from the latest phase of the project (2005-2007), which involved work with community leaders and members in two provinces to increase their understanding of stigma and build capacity to reduce it.
