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.

0 comments
SummaryText

VIHdeo America is an initiative of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to disseminate 198 television spots about HIV created and produced in 24 countries of the Americas between 1995 and 2005. It consists of a two-disc set of DVDs containing spots developed and broadcast in Argentina, Barbados, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic, Suriname, Trinidad & Tobago, United States, Uruguay and Venezuela.

 

VIHdeo America is meant to serve as a learning tool for communicators. It is a historic collection and not intended as a showcase of best practices. It aims to:

 

  • Share information about the use of TV for HIV campaigns;
  • Allow communication practitioners to learn from experiences of other countries;
  • Allow governments and civil society to consider new approaches to HIV communication.
