Development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

SummaryText
'Reporting HIV/AIDS' is part of the Masters in journalism and communication degree coursework of the Faculty of Journalism and Communications, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. Prepared in cooperation with Internews, the course content includes an examination of media approaches and responsibilities in reporting HIV and the portrayal of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and marginalised risk groups. It explores issues of cultural and social opposition, as well as stigmatising language, and offers appropriate sources and resources, all in the Ethiopian context. It is designed to be flexibly formatted for delivery, either in the classroom or as a distance/online module.

Two document sources are available: a curriculum guide of 48 pages in PDF format and a zipped file for download containing folders of PDF format print stories, radio stories, a course reader, further course readings, and the curriculum document.
