Community Empowerment Action Tank (CEAT)
Who are we?
The Community Empowerment Action Tank (CEAT) aims to improve the health and well-being of marginalized and vulnerable populations through evidence-based community-led health, economic and social programs in India. It works with individuals, partners and systems to analyze, understand and create socially impactful solutions for community empowerment and well-being. By being a thought leader and convener of institutions working to support community structures, CEAT goes beyond traditional intervention based approaches to guide the evidence and shape the agenda among donors and policymakers.
CEAT will sit within the Population Council’s India Country Office.
Vision
CEAT’s vision is to generate collaborative action to improve and expand community-focused practices.
Mission

It will not only engage the communities on social and economic levers, but also establish holistic linkages with health, welfare and sectoral indicators derived out of a community’s needs. …show more content…
Its methodology is about understanding the reality of a community and identifying the needs of its citizens, informing communities to recognize how their lives could be made better and empowering them to be the change they wish to see. It’s less about getting to a community with an idea and implementing it. It’s most specific contribution is specialized knowledge – about aspects of community wellbeing and development and learning gained from our own research, our associations and community initiatives, particularly on how best to engage with the different target
