In our efforts to strengthen our practice, we developed the  Community Engagement in Eye Health Assessment Tool (CEEHAT)  to assess community opportunity, capacity and motivation to engage with eye health and care, and identify areas for eye health service quality improvement.

The tool is free for programme designers, researchers, health care planners and any others interested in understanding the needs of communities prior to the development of programmes, or in testing the effectiveness of their community engagement approaches.
