Community Network for Empowerment (CoNE) is a state level network of community-based organizations of PUD in Manipur. Registered on 11th January 2012 under the Society Registration Act, Government of Manipur, 515/M/SR/2012 is the official registration number of the network. All registered Community Based Organization (CBO) of PUD from across all the districts of Manipur can be members of CoNE. At present there are 12 members CBO, 91 individual general body members, democratically-elected 27 Executive Committee Members (ECM), and 5 governing council members.

 An Advisory Committee comprising of lawyers, human rights activists, physicians, religious leaders, senior citizens, NGO representatives, academicians, and PUD provides advisory support to the leadership team of CoNE, while also bringing in external perspective and technical inputs on development of policy and practices. The organizational vision, mission, objectives and strategies evolved based on series of consultations conducted across the districts with the active participation of PUD and other key relevant stakeholders.

 We believe in bringing about positive changes in the lives of PUD by amplifying our voices, making effective and meaningful representation/participation as a state network of PUD in all important policy development and decision making processes across the state, national, regional and international level.

We also believe that PUD have the right to be treated with dignity and respect and be able to live their lives free from stigma, discrimination, harassment, human rights violations; and having access to evidence based quality drug treatment, harm reduction services, health care services (including HIV and HCV treatment), and livelihood options thereby improving the quality of life of all PUD and becoming a productive, responsible member of the society.
