African development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

SummaryText
Chapters on Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania, Uganda. Each Chapter looks at General Country Data, Indicators of Political Pluralism, Indicators of Broadcast Pluralism, Legal Indicators of Broadcast Pluralism, Overview of Broadcasting, Regulation of Broadcasting, Current Broadcasters, Issues and Comments. "The changes in broadcasting have been largely undocumented and thus are difficult to to analyse critically. While it is easy to track quantitatively the number of new broadcasters, it is less easy to assess qualitatively their ownership, content and meaning to their audiences."
