As of March 15 2025, The Communication Initiative (The CI) platform is operating at a reduced level, with no new content being posted to the global website and registration/login functions disabled. (La Iniciativa de Comunicación, or CILA, will keep running.) While many interactive functions are no longer available, The CI platform remains open for public use, with all content accessible and searchable until the end of 2025. 

Please note that some links within our knowledge summaries may be broken due to changes in external websites. The denial of access to the USAID website has, for instance, left many links broken. We can only hope that these valuable resources will be made available again soon. In the meantime, our summaries may help you by gleaning key insights from those resources. 

A heartfelt thank you to our network for your support and the invaluable work you do.

MoRaba Mobile Game

0 comments

MoRaba is a free game for mobile phones designed to educate South Africa’s township youth on gender-based violence. Multiple choice questions like "A girl will claim she has been raped because..." are designed to help youths navigate tricky situations they face every day, in a relevant and entertaining way. The game is a quiz adaptation of the hugely popular Southern African board game Morabaraba – also known as Umlabalaba or Zulu Chess.

In MoRaba, players can’t proceed until they correctly answer questions about gender-based violence. The idea is that every time they play, they will see similar questions in order to reinforce the learning through repeated exposure. Intended for boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 18, MoRaba was commissioned by the Southern African Regional Office of UN Women as part of the UNITE campaign to end Violence Against Women and Girls. The Afroes Foundation, which specialises in educational digital tools for African youth, was responsible for developing the mobile game.
