African development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

"My Father Didn't Think This Way"

Nigerian Boys Contemplate Gender Equality


By Girard Francoise

Published by The Population Council

2003

This document is a report on a project known as "Conscientising Male Adolescents" or CMA. The project was founded to increase boys' awareness of gender-based oppression, and to foster their critical thinking skills by teaching them to analyse the world around them and arrive at a new set of values on their own. The report includes sections on the different approaches used in the programme, as well as a reflection on its outcome.
