LAB-CO is a nonprofit laboratory for
policy innovation in crime prevention,
citizen security and justice in Latin America
We work collaboratively with local stakeholders to design and implement sustainable solutions to their toughest challenges
User-centered approach
We base our interventions on the context of local institutions and actors and develop effective and sustainable solutions in collaboration with their users.
Test, learn, iterate and adapt
We promote experiential and experimental learning by combining short cycles of trial and error with phases for feedback and reflection.
Evidence
generation
We rigorously document and measure our interventions to generate evidence from local contexts.
Incorporation of technology
We implement user-centered technological tools to develop solutions adapted to local problems, realities, and resources.
