As of March 15 2025, The Communication Initiative (The CI) platform is operating at a reduced level, with no new content being posted to the global website and registration/login functions disabled. (La Iniciativa de Comunicación, or CILA, will keep running.) While many interactive functions are no longer available, The CI platform remains open for public use, with all content accessible and searchable until the end of 2025. 

Please note that some links within our knowledge summaries may be broken due to changes in external websites. The denial of access to the USAID website has, for instance, left many links broken. We can only hope that these valuable resources will be made available again soon. In the meantime, our summaries may help you by gleaning key insights from those resources. 

A heartfelt thank you to our network for your support and the invaluable work you do.

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.
