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.

1 comment
Web 2.0 in Africa is an 8-minute video produced by Business Africa and the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation (CTA) documenting actual cases on the use of Web 2.0 applications in the development sector, specifically among farmers in Africa. The documentary highlights the experiences of how farmers, like Busoga Rural Open Source & Development Initiative (BROSDI) in Uganda, are using Web 2.0 - such as blogs, forums, and wiki-style encyclopaedias to make their work more effective. The video is available in English and has subtitles in the following languages: French, Ganda/Luanda, Luo, Spanish, and Swahili.
