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.

Location

University College London (UCL) Institute for Global Health, London, United Kingdom

 

This multidisciplinary event in the United Kingdom is sponsored by BBC Media Action, University College London (UCL) Institute for Global Health, and the Umeå Centre for Global Health Research in order to assess the evidence base on mHealth, mobile technology, and new thinking and applications to improve the health of those in economically impoverished settings worldwide. The two-day conference will examine current debates around evidence within the fields of health systems and health education with a focus on tangible outcomes in resource-poor settings.

Abstracts are invited from any sector and any discipline but should have a focus on evaluation and impact on tangible health outcomes. Abstracts describing evidence and experiences in relation to health systems and/or health education are particularly encouraged. Papers developed from presentations at the symposium will be considered for publication in the peer-reviewed journal, Global Health Action. Abstract submission deadline: November 14 2014.

Academics, health professionals, development practitioners, postgraduate students, the media and the public are invited to attend. Free tickets are available to those wishing to attend. Click here for more information on tickets.
