The Communication Initiative
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.

Lessons Learned Across the GPEI

The Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) and national polio programmes in polio-endemic countries have been documenting and recording lessons learned in order to improve programming and to support countries who may face polio outbreaks (or other communicable disease outbreaks) in the future. This section offers a selection of documents that both provide an overview of lessons learned across the GPEI and highlight communication lessons in specific topic areas that have proven to be central to the success of polio initiatives:

  1. Overview
  2. Maximising Coverage
  3. Data-Based Decision Making
  4. Building Community and Political Support
  5. Social Mobilisation
  6. Independent Oversight
