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.

Workstation 2.0

0 comments
SummaryText
The USA-based Innovation Network offers this online evaluation tool for social change organisations seeking to answer the question "What difference are we making?" Workstation 2.0 consists of 3 components:
  1. Organisational Assessment Tool (or OAT) - designed for organisations that are interested in taking a look at their own capacity and effectiveness. The OAT includes an online survey that asks questions about key areas of organisational development, and then produces a snapshot report of that organisation's strengths and challenges. This component of the tool is meant to work as a springboard for discussions of next steps.
  2. Logic Model Builder - helps clarify organisers' understanding of what goes into a programme. Features an interactive process of thinking about programme goals, activities, and resources, and how those elements work together to produce intended outcomes.
  3. Evaluation Plan Builder - stimulates reflection on the following:
    • What activities are being implemented, and how well they are being implemented
    • Are results are being accomplishing for the people being served?
    • Why are those results evident (or not)?.
According to Innovation Network, nonprofit organisations and funders can use Workstation 2.0 to measure their results, make informed decisions, and create lasting change.
