About Us

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.
