Development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

The Adobe Youth Voices Aspire Awards has partnered with the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) to offer the opportunity to implement active community change . It intends to provide three youth-led projects with grants to support the implementation of innovative initiatives.

The challenge is to use imagination, creativity, and innovation through the use of digital tools and social media to produce a short video outlining your proposal for a new or existing initiative that will benefit other youth in your community. "This is your chance to make a difference in the world, report about it, and show the progress made to millions of people through the Adobe Youth Voices network, UNICEF’s global social media feeds, and the Voices of Youth community."

First prize receives US$40,000. Second prize receives US$30,000. Lastly, the audience award-winning project receives US$20,000. All Adobe Youth Voices Aspire Awards UNICEF Challenge prize funds must be used to support the implementation of the winning projects.
