Development action with informed and engaged societies
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.

SBCC and social ignorance and wickedness of open defecation

0 comments

How do we tackle the problem of social ignorance and wickedness of open defecation? Can SBCC develop sharper teeth to chew this attitude?

It is a problem which is creeping into the social space in many communities in the third world. I see it as a fearful event, that a woman, man, child can be bold to be naked in the open and pollute the environment against other people.
