Anamaya The Tribal Health Collaborative
Inclusion is key to transforming lives of 700+ tribal communities
Anamaya, the tribal health collaborative will improve health outcomes for 10.4 crore Tribal People and help India achieve its SDG 2 and 3 goals by 2030.
The Tribal Health Collaborative (THC) – Anamaya – is a multi-stakeholder collaborative committed to ending preventable deaths among tribal and marginalized communities of India. It engages with problems unique to tribal communities to co-create solutions that strengthen communities and public delivery systems alike. There are three key approaches that Anamaya undertakes towards fulfilling its vision: 1. Strengthening Public Health System 2. Informing the Tribal Health Agenda through Knowledge Consolidation 3. Strengthening Community Engagement through Community-building. Driven by youth and women, we aim to deliver evidence-based solutions for tribal health – especially, TB, non-communicable diseases; and maternal and child health – in partnership with governments, local partners, influencers and tribal healers and youth.
Gandhi Fellows as Agents of Change in THC
The Anamaya Gandhi Fellowship is customised for Fellows to work with tribal communities in the domain of public health. In line with the Fellowship’s core philosophy of action and reflection, Fellows placed in Anamaya get opportunities to work on various projects as a part of the programme team. They also develop the necessary basic theoretical understanding of public health through carefully curated technical sessions.
