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.

Nairobi, Kenya

Amref Health Africa, in partnership with the World Health Organisation, is hosting a conference under the theme From Evidence to Action: Lasting Health Change for Africa. "The three day conference will focus on exchange of scientific results and debates on strategic ideas and application of knowledge to inform health care financing, human resources for health, community systems strengthening and the post 2015 health agenda. It brings together leaders, players and partners in African health development and advocacy. It is an important forum for discussions on how Africa can influence the global health agenda to improve health and health rights on the continent."

The objectives of the Amref Health Africa International Conference are to:

  • share cutting-edge research on health and health systems in Africa;
  • identify and discuss priorities in addressing Africa’s health in the post-2015 agenda; and
  • bring together stakeholders in health to reflect on home-grown solutions to health system challenges in Africa.

The conference will address five key themes:

  • Reproductive health and maternal and neonatal child health
  • HIV, TB and Malaria
  • Water, sanitation, and hygiene
  • New and emerging health priorities
  • Innovation, technology, and health
