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 lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

UNESCO Media Strategy - Freedom & Development - Global

0 comments

This is a new communication strategy supporting free and independent media with a pragmatic effort to contribute to the development of such media in societies where both freedom and pluralism have seen difficult times in the past.
Communication Strategies

The creation of the International Programme for the Development of Communication was intended to mobilize new economic contributions for specific media projects in developing countries. The programme helped establish communication infrastructures such as journalistic training centers, press and media institutes, community radios, local newspapers, video production companies, news agencies, and professional networks.
Development Issues

Political development, rights, strategy, media development, democracy.
Key Points

The media strategy can be summarized into two main tracks, "freedom" and "development". The success of this strategy is due to the careful selection and creation of projects along with a clearly outlined strategy.
