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.

Tikambe - "Let's Talk About It"

0 comments
A new documentary video from Zambia - Tikambe ("Let's Talk About It") - shows with blunt honesty the struggle two families go through as they attempt to live positively with HIV and AIDS. Comprised of a set of two films, Tikambe addresses HIV/AIDS stigma in an uncontrived and deeply moving manner by demonstrating how stigma and discrimination start within the family.

Comprised of a set of two films, Tikambe addresses HIV/AIDS stigma in an uncontrived and deeply moving manner by demonstrating how stigma and discrimination start within the family.
"Both documentaries demonstrate the pitfalls and power of living openly with HIV," said Elizabeth Serlemitsos, Chief of Party for ZIHPCOMM, the communication component of ZIHP. "It takes a lot of courage to disclose one's status and these films show how family and community are key to reducing stigma by supporting HIV-positive members."
