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.

Picture This: We Can End Poverty - Photo Contest

0 comments

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the Olympus Corporation and the AFP (Agence France-Presse) Foundation, is organising a photo contest to highlight the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The photo contest aims to show the positive side of the MDGs, i.e., people in action helping even in small ways to achieve the MDGs. Photos submitted for the contest must illustrate the theme "We Can End Poverty". Special attention will be given to photos that take into account the role that women can and do play in that regard.

The top three winners in each category (categories are "Professional" or "Amateur") will receive Olympus cameras. The winning photos and photo essays will be displayed on the websites of all three sponsors. The first prize winners and the People’s Choice winner will be flown to New York, United States, for an awards ceremony. The first prize winner in the professional category will also be eligible for a fellowship through The AFP Foundation.
