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.

HIV/AIDS CD-ROM for Health Workers

0 comments
EngenderHealth, a nonprofit agency working to improve women's health worldwide, released two online mini-courses to support the international network of family planning and sexual and reproductive health providers in their efforts to prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

The two new courses, entitled 'Sexually Transmitted Infections and HIV and AIDS', are part of EngenderHealth's Web-based series 'Topics in Reproductive Health' (the first course in the series, 'Sexuality and Sexual Health', was released last fall). They aim to provide health care providers, especially those in resource-poor settings, with knowledge and strategies for addressing HIV/AIDS and STI prevention, management, and counselling with their clients.

Developed by EngenderHealth through a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the courses are now available at:
The EngenderHealth websiteor on CD-ROM.
