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 lainiciativadecomunicacion.com and is linked with The CI Global site.

Nepal - Internet Country Case Study

0 comments
Summary

A Least Developed Country which is slowly moving towards a more liberal market, the Kingdom of Nepal has turned out to be one of the more dynamic Internet markets in South Asia. The licensing of many ISPs combined with the liberalisation of the VSAT data market has created suitable conditions for the Internet to thrive. Nepal's citizens enjoy some of the lowest prices for Internet access in the region. A mission to Nepal was carried out in January 2000 involving Michael Minges and Tim Kelly, plus two consultants, Larry Press and Seymour Goodman.


The mission was co-ordinated with the Nepal Planning Commission (NPC), which is currently drafting an Information and Communications Technology Policy for the country. As part of the mission, a draft policy document on e-commerce was provided to the NPC.
