The Communication Initiative
Development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

Haiti Support Group - UK and Haití

0 comments
The Haiti Support Group is a solidarity group based in the United Kingdom; this Group has focused on developing contacts with grassroots and popular organisations in Haiti to provide them support.
Communication Strategies
The Haiti Support Group monitors developments in Haiti and disseminates information and advice to a wide range of individuals and organisations in both the UK and in Haiti about the issues and context of the unfolding situation.

Every two months, the Haiti Support Group publishes a four-page newsletter - Haiti Briefing - containing news, analysis, reviews, and photos. It also organises public meetings and carries out campaigns to advocate for actions in favor of Haitian rights:
  • campaign for trade union rights, salary increases, and improvement of work conditions of Grand Marnier and Cointreau workers in Haiti
  • campaign for the payment of Haiti's external debt
  • campaign for the return of 160,000 documents (consisting of documents and photos of victims of human rights violations and their torturers), as well as videos and recordings stolen in 1994 from the Haitian military forces (FADH) and paramilitary forces (FRAPH) by North American troops.
