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.

Modelling the impact of stigma on HIV and AIDS programs: preliminary projections for mother to child transmission

0 comments

Watts C, Zimmerman C, Eckhaus T, Nyblade L. Modelling the impact of stigma on HIV and AIDS programs: preliminary projections for mother to child transmission. 2010. Washington, D.C., International Center for Research on Women (ICRW).

This analysis, conducted jointly by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and ICRW, takes an initial step toward quantifying how stigma undermines HIV programs by estimating the potential impact of stigma on the effectiveness of mother-to-child HIV prevention programs. The findings suggest that stigma can have a large impact on mother-to-child transmission, and programs that can effectively reduce stigma will be beneficial to women and children.
