The Poverty, Violence, and Governance Lab's mission is to develop action-oriented research and generate social impact to contain violence through the elaboration of scientific knowledge anchored in state-of-the-art methodologies, multidisciplinary work, and innovative on-the-ground analyses and training.
We are developing innovative methodologies and data streams to generate scientific understanding about the causes, consequences, and dynamics of violence. We aim with our research to contribute to restore peace, security, and protect human rights.
