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.

SummaryText

This website, developed by the Center for Communication Programs, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, in collaboration with over 30 organisations and funded by the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation and the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, aims to provide a comprehensive knowledge base for health professionals working to integrate the prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services. Users can access recent research and evidence-based approaches to integrating prevention and treatment of HIV/AIDS with SRH services, as well as materials documenting field programme experiences, tools for integrated service delivery, news, and conference materials.

 

Examples of inclusions are:

  • Issues of the HIV/AIDS and Sexual and Reproductive Health Integration: Quarterly Highlights Newsletter.
  • Interviews with 11 programme managers and health care professionals working to integrate HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive health/family planning services in countries such as Zimbabwe, Uganda, Botswana, Rwanda, and Bangladesh, among others.
  • Abstracts and ordering information for journal articles.
  • A featured tool for HIV/AIDS and sexual and reproductive health treatment and diagnosis.

This is apt and timely resource for programmers in the HI/AIDS sub-domain. This is in the purview of the wording of the new PEPFAR reauthorisation which specifically harped on 'de-verticalisation' of HIV/AIDS programmes towards more integration with reproductive and sexual health.
