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.

From the Ground Up - Building Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Care Programs in Resource-Limited Settings

0 comments

The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is pleased to make available free-of-charge, in print and on CD-Rom, its three-volume publication, From the Ground Up: Building Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Care Programs in Resource-Limited Settings, a comprehensive guide to improving and expanding HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment efforts in resource-limited settings. The book features a foreword by Peter Piot, former Executive Director of UNAIDS, as well contributions from more than 320 leading international HIV/AIDS experts. Dr. Richard Marlink, the Foundation’s Senior Advisor for Medical and Scientific Affairs and Professor of Public Health at the Harvard School of Public Health, led the development of this groundbreaking resource, with support from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “A Day in the Life of Africa” AIDS Education Fund, Harvard University, and others.

 

An independent review of the book in the March 20 issue of The Lancet states that the book is “unique in imparting concern and compassion for those affected by HIV/AIDS, alongside invaluable science, statistics, and policy issues relating to this pandemic” and that it will be “invaluable for program managers and lead clinicians.” The full text of the Lancet review can be accessed online at: http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(10)60423-0/fulltext
