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.

This training manual is designed for the media and covers how to report on HIV/AIDS from a gender and rights perspective. The manual has three modules: A Gender Analysis Framework for the Media; Gender and HIV/AIDS - The Missing Story; and Improved Knowledge and Skills.

The author, Patricia Made, makes this statement in the introduction:"Gender training for the media is important. It helps journalists and editors to understand the attitudes, prejudices, biases and socialization which often come through in media messages; to recognizeand analyze the imbalance of women's voices, as compared to men's in the media ; and gender training provides skills and techniques to journalists and editors to analyze facts, issues and datafrom a gender perspective."

The intended audience for this training is primarily journalists working in print media. Training areas which include the interview, use of data and cross-checking facts and information are applicable to all media.
