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.

SummaryText

"Between more traditional channels of communications like direct mail, email, and newsletters and all the new channels you've adopted, like social media, multimedia, and blogs, there's a lot to think about when it comes to your organization's messaging. How do you create and maintain a consistent voice across so many channels? How do you coordinate your various communications to work in tandem rather than competing, engaging constituents and inspiring them to take action rather than confusing, overwhelming, or annoying them?"

This guide from Idealware and Chapman Cubine Adams + Hussey is designed to help non-profit organisations understand how to plan, schedule, and integrate communications into cohesive messaging around campaigns and the equally important times between them. Designed around 18 worksheets, this free workbook identifies and defines the categories of communications, explores their roles in messaging, and helps an organisation assess its current state of effectiveness before walking through the planning, scheduling, and implementation stages.
