Gathering in person to advance 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.

Nyblade L, Pande RP, Mathur S, MacQuarrie K, Kidd R, Banteyerga H, et al. Disentangling HIV and AIDS Stigma in Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zambia. In. Washington, DC: International Center for Research on Women (ICRW); 2003.

This paper examines stigma and discrimination of HIV and AIDS in three countries, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zambia. The project studied the complexities around stigma by investigating the causes, context (focusing on socio-economic status, youth and gender), experiences, coping strategies and consequences of stigma and discrimination. Based on these results, the paper recommends program interventions to reduce stigma.
