Research is the main activity of CENEP and it is directed not only to widen the limits of scientific knowledge – basic and applied – but also to provide reliable bases for the design, implementation and evaluation of social policies and programs of action for the population. Technical assistance to official and private organizations, support and encouragement to study groups, and training of human resources through teaching, research supervision and the organization of seminars and workshops are also among the core activities of the institution.
