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.

HIV/AIDS Consultation - Caribbean

This partnership-organised consultation conference occurred in Trinidad and Tobago in June 1998, the third meeting of its kind since 1996. The purpose of this conference was to review the impact of HIV/AIDS on development and to develop and support coordinated responses to the epidemic through long-term, regional approaches to resource allocation, planning and implementation of actions.
Communication Strategies
A three-day conference took place in Trinidad and Tobago from June 3-5, 1998. Attending were participants from inter-governmental organisations, UNAIDS, co-sponsors and other United Nations agencies, the EU and its member states, other donors and NGO's.

Key Points
