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.

STARH - Indonesia

0 comments

STARH will focus on developing Indonesia's capacity to provide high-quality family planning and reproductive health services with special attention to the newly decentralized Indonesian health care delivery system.
Communication Strategies

The STARH consortium, which will be partnering with local institutions, will work with national and community-based non-governmental organizations in close consultation with the National Family Planning Coordinating Board (BKKBN), the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Women Empowerment, to train health providers in family planning counseling, standards of quality, logistics management, policy development, advocacy and data analysis. They will also focus on communication activities to increase awareness and knowledge about high quality services both among providers and users of family planning.
Development Issues

Family planning
Key Points

Already a maturing program in Indonesia, family planning is used by nearly 30 million women. Now, however, family planning and reproductive health programs must confront the new challenges of economic and political instability , internally displaced populations, and major government reorganization, including the decentralized health care system.
Partners



A Johns Hopkins University consortium led by the Center for Communication Programs (JHU/CCP) and JHPIEGO in a cooperative funding agreement with USAID in Indonesia.
