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.

What Works: Sanitation, Kampala slums, RANAS and Group discussion

What Works: Improving shared sanitation users' habitual cleaning behavior in Kampala slums, Uganda - RANAS and Group discussion effects

This will be the focus of my presentation in the upcoming SBCC summit in Indonesia. This was part of my PhD longitudinal research on ways to improve shared sanitation hygiene by users in informal settlements. The study was based on the RANAS (Risks, Attitudes, Norms, Abilities, and Self-regulation) model of behavior change and behavior-change techniques delivered through group discussions and written public commitment. Looking forward to seeing most of you come for the presentation.

Glad to be part of this knowledge and experience sharing Communication Initiave Network, and look forward to meeting most of you in the upcoming 2018 SBCC Summit in Indonesia.

Hello Kamara,

My organization is part of a partnership which seeks to implement behavior change messages and resources in urban and semi-urban slums of Freetown, Sierra Leone.  Most of the proposed program activity include such things as radio messages and posters, but I am interested in hearing more about your model with groups discussions and public committment.  I think there might be commonalities between the barriers and solutions in WASH in Freetown and Kampala.   I really look forward to hearing about your experience and recommendations at the SBCC summit in April.

Thanks for sharing.
