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.

WAGGGS Small Grants for Environmental Projects

0 comments

The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) invite Girl Guides and Girl Scouts around the world to apply for a small grant of up to US$250 for their projects to help save the planet.

The projects can be related to adaptation (helping people cope with climate change) or mitigation (preventing further CO2 emissions). Especially encouraged are projects containing a food security or agriculture theme, and/or inter-country collaboration. Possibilities could include planting trees or crops, setting up a recycling system in a meeting hall or school, hosting a discussion in one's community, running an activity on Centenary Celebration day, implementing a global action theme (GAT) project related to environment, and many more.
