Description

CIET is an international group of professionals from a variety of disciplines, including epidemiology, medicine, planning, communications and other social sciences, who bring scientific research methods to community levels. By involving people at these levels in information gathering and analysis, CIET helps them to participate, in an increasingly informed way, in decisions that affect their lives. CIET shares its collective skills and its methods with national, regional and local planners to help develop local stakeholder information systems and build indigenous capacities for evidence-based planning and action. This happens through both formal and on-the-job training. CIET projects take place over a series of reiterative survey cycles. As a result, the evidence that CIET helps to gather is of a kind that shows where changes can be made and the likely impact of such changes. CIET is also an academic centre, based at the Universidad Autonoma de Guerrero in Mexico. The centre provides formal training in evidence-based planning through short courses and an intensive eight-week course as well as through diploma, masters and doctoral programmes.
