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.

Malaria Control in the Framework of Primary Health Care - Mali, Mauritania, Uganda, Viet Nam

0 comments

The Malaria Control in the Framework of Primary Health Care project was initiated in 1992 at the Amsterdam conference where endemic countries convened to discuss malaria control on a global scale and where the new malaria control strategy was inaugurated.
Communication Strategies

The main strategy used in this programme was to integrate malaria control into district health care systems. Activities for interventions include a standard set of training programs, treatment protocols, quality assurance systems for peripheral laboratories, information material for educational campaigns, surveillance instruments and approaches to bed net impregnation
Development Issues

Malaria control, health care systems
Key Points

Results of the programme indicate that a set of standardised interventions against malaria can be established within a time span of 2-5 years while maintaining a high degree of flexibility for adapting the elements of malaria control to the local needs.
