The Marketplace for International Development
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.

Event/Training Summary

Welcome to the Global Health Practitioner Conference 2024

#GHPC24 aims to bring together stakeholders to discuss equitable solutions for pressing health needs due to the interface between communities and climate, and how collaboration will improve health, enable quality programs, and advance coherent policies for Primary Health Care and beyond.  #GHPC24 will focus on:

COMMUNITIES and their health. We will examine how community health workers, community engagement, community-based surveillance, and community approaches, can promote health, provide health services, prevent disease, and prepare for future outbreaks and health emergencies.

CLIMATE and our environment, and how agriculture, animal health, food security, and climate change affect our future health and well-being.

COLLABORATION between communities, practitioners, governments, private sectors, and multi-stakeholders from different technical areas and how we can share best practices and work better together for improved health outcomes, in the development and humanitarian contexts.

Objectives of #GHPC24

  • Increase knowledge of conference participants in multi-sectoral technical areas of community health, climate, and collaboration
  • Strengthen partnerships amongst CORE Group members and other stakeholders in the region to advance health policies, principles, and programming
  • Foster participant connections through networking and professional engagement to build healthy communities worldwide and achieve health equity
