African 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.

HIV/AIDS Campaign uses internet technology to break the silence on HIV/AIDS in Sierra Leone.
Communication Strategies
The project organiser Alimamy Sekou Bangura organises an on-line network of students to contribute their thoughts on the impact of HIV/AIDS amongst secondary school students. The campaigns promote discussions, symposia and quizzes amongst junior secondary school students and senior secondary school students in many schools within the country.

Youth, HIV/AIDS
Key Points
The project organisers say the campaign is a strategy of youth/teachers and educators of iEARN Sierra Leone in its war on HIV/AIDS to stimulate all-around excellence among youths in the country through openly interacting with their peers around the world on this sensitive issue.
