The Communication Initiative
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.

Linking Climate Research, Policy and Practice for African-led Development

0 comments

Africa Adapt is hosting a three-day bilingual (French/English) symposium focusing on evolving approaches, tools, methods, and philosophies addressing the links between increasing climate change and variability in Africa and sustainable development. It will feature keynote speakers from across the continent, and provide a space for creative new exchanges and collaboration between African research, media, policy, and community practitioners. According to the organisers, this is an opportunity for participants to share their knowledge and experience on this subject and to work with others to help make a difference. br>
The symposium objectives are to:

  • provide a forum for exploring and promoting the latest and best in applied research on climate change adaptation and development in Africa;
  • create a space for engagement between African research, practitioner, and policy communities of practice; and
  • provide African media with opportunities to interact with these communities of practice so they can better communicate efforts being made to address climate change in Africa and articulate local concerns and priorities.
