Soul Beat Africa
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.

0 comments
Location

Pretoria, South Africa

This second African Library Summit is organised to create an opportunity for established leaders to engage on significant issues in support of quality library and information services and librarianship on the African continent. Hosted by the Unisa Library, the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) Regional Office for Africa, and the IFLA Africa Section, discussions will centre on the leadership of library and information services in the 21st century, as the dynamic digital context in which libraries currently operate demands highly strategic leadership.

Main objectives of the Summit are to:

  • establish leadership development actions for the respective library types;
  • identify programmes for leadership development;
  • locate African leadership development in the Digital Age; and
  • identify programmes pertaining to MDGs and climate change.
