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.

Update on the UNGASS Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS

0 comments
The Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS was adopted unanimously by the member states of the United Nations (that is, the United Nations General Assembly Special Session on HIV/AIDS - UNGASS) in June 2001 as a means of defining a global response to HIV/AIDS for the next decade. The International Council of AIDS Service Organizations (ICASO) has published this Update to detail how the Declaration has been promoted by NGOs at the local and national level; by the central and regional secretariats of ICASO; and by the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS). A proposal to appoint regional UN Special Envoys to promote the Declaration is described. A progress report is provided on the development of indicators to assist in monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the Declaration. Finally, the Update recommends strategies that NGOs can follow to promote the Declaration.

This update is a companion piece to the "Advocacy Guide to the Declaration of Commitment on HIV/AIDS" published by ICASO in October 2001.
