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.

Working with UNICEF, the ICRW reviewed the literature and interviewed staff from 25 projects to see what role an intergenerational approach can have on youth development. The brief report includes case studies and a five-part framework for approaching intergenerational programmes, covering such issues as recognising the interdependence of adolescent and adult lives, respect for each generation's unique experiences through open dialogue, and different age adolescents needing different types of adults to play supportive roles at various stages in adolescents' lives.
