CLASPO coordinates research on social policy issues such as partipation, governability, community devlopment, indigenous issues and aims to link institutions and individuals concerned with those issues. To attain this goal, CLASPO is involved with
- training young researchers in the design and evaluation of social policy
- promoting mechanisms of collaboration and exchange of ideas between diverse actors involved in the design, implementation, and evaluation of social policy
CLASPO encourages the exchange of ideas at a variety of levels, country, regional and inter-regional. The website contains information on projects, research departments and contains various publications which can be downloaded.
