African development action with informed and engaged societies
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 lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

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.
