The Initiative of Communist and Workers' Parties (INITIATIVE) was a communist association in Europe primarily headed by the Communist Party of Greece (KKE). When the Russo-Ukrainian War began, it lead to disagreements within the organisation over whether Russia was imperialist and thus whether the war was an inter-imperialist conflict. The disagreement concluded with the dissolution of the organisation and with the camp that believed Russia to be imperialist, headed by the KKE, establishing European Communist Action (ECA) as a continuation of INITIATIVE.[1][2]

The organisation had 30 member parties from across Europe including some on its fringes.[3]
