Summits - SBCC and C4D
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.

Hua, J., Z. Wu, et al. (2010). "Evaluation of intervention effect of exclusive breastfeeding of rural women in the Midwest of China." Maternal and Child Health Care of China 25(23): 3229-3232.

Objective: To explore the effect of perinatal intervention on exclusive breastfeeding on the basis of township hospitals.

Methods: A cluster randomized controlled trial was used in the intervention. The adjusted Chi-square was used in univariate analysis: the mixed effect model was applied in multivariate analysis with the village as a unit.

Results: The Chi-square results showed that there was no significant difference in exclusive breastfeeding rates at 2, 4, 6 months among intervention groups. The results of mixed effect model showed that clinical skill training and health education had impact on exclusive breastfeeding time after controlling maternal age, education years of women and their husbands, family incomes and delivery modes, there was significant difference.

Conclusion: Clinical skill training and health education have obvious effects targeted to village medical workers, which provide basis for wide-bound exclusive breast-feeding intervention in rural areas of China based on current primary health care sources.
