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 lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

The Global Fund for Women (GFW) aims to support women's groups that advance the human rights of women and girls. GFW works to strengthen women's groups by providing small, flexible, and timely grants ranging from US$500 to US$30,000 for operating and project expenses.

The groups considered for funding address issues that include but are not limited to:

  • Groups of women working together.
  • Organisations that demonstrate a clear commitment to women’s equality and women’s human rights.
  • Organisations that are governed and directed by women.
  • Organisations based outside of the United States.
