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.

1 comment

This "Community Report", written collaboratively by Aboriginal Australians and indigenous islanders, National Health Centre and University Health Unit representatives, and drug and alcohol community services, shows the findings of a study of the treatment and service needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander illegal drug users in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and surrounding region. Ninety-five Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people were interviewed to obtain the material for the document.

 

Sections include:

  • Care, sharing family
  • Why did we do the research?
  • Who told their stories? What were their stories? What would they like to happen? How do they think services can be improved?
  • Messages from alcohol and drug treatment services
  • Hepatitis A, B, and C
  • The past, present, and future
  • Gambling
  • Hopes for the future...
  • What happens now?
  • Some helpful contact numbers

I wanna be heard. I have a stimulus plan that will create jobs that saves jobs and makes new jobs, up and down the income ladder 60,000 jobs a month I took it to Washington but I might have as well thrown my money out the window.I am letting every one know what a waste of a vote for Congresswoman Corine Brown is, her making lunch plans has more importance then people that spent Hundreds of their dollars to talk to her and I wrote her for an appointment. All they want to do is pour money in places they have their money. When they say middle class they mean anyone that makes $100,000.00-$250,000.00 a year you know them the ones we hired to watch out for all of us not a selected few. What is a matter with this country this is our government not the government of the few. They will still have a job when you are begging for food outside your cardboard box house. They will grace you with a visit when it is election time and shovel more change at you.
