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.

Enlisting the Armed Forces To Protect Reproductive Health and Rights [CD-ROM]: Lessons from Nine Countries

0 comments
From the back of the CD-ROM case:
This CD-ROM presents lessons drawn from nine country case studies [Benin, Botswana, Ecuador, Madagascar, Mongolia, Namibia, Nicaragua, Paraguay and the Ukraine] where UNFPA has worked with a major employer - the military - to reach out to men and provide them with reproductive and sexual health information and services, including HIV/AIDS, and promote reproductive rights and gender equity. UNFPA hopes this information will stimulate debate, enhance future programming and increase international cooperation to enlist a critical partner in peacetime and conflict situations to promote reproductive health and rights and gender equity.

The interactive menu on the CD-ROM includes case studies; a summary of policy and programme lessons; a full report that includes a comparative analysis of the findings and an overview of changing global and national contexts; a set of rapid assessment tools; and printable versions of all documents.

The information available on this CD-ROM can also be accessed online on the UNFPA website.
