REACHING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
Our work propels communities towards the changes in behavior necessary to achieve the United Nations sustainable development goals and can be adapted to achieve specific objectives in regions of interest.
A few of our results with government:
Our school performance and school persistence programs reduce school dropout between elementary and secondary school by 24%.
Our comprehensive work in Metlatonoc, Guerrero has taken a multi-pronged approach around Goals 2, 6 and 16. We improved community hygiene by 56%, increased vegetable, fruit and protein consumption by 13% and reduced acceptance of violence by 46%. Sparked by these programs, local leaders further initiated community agreements to end the sale of girls for marriage.
Let´s reach the Sustainable Development Goals together, leveraging our expertise.
RECEIVE TARGETED CONSULTING
We have extensive experience collaborating with government in Mexico and abroad on the programs which require behavior change. Our experts provide feedback on public policy, participate in working groups, assess initiatives and programs and strengthen the competencies of personnel in key programs. We have been central partners in drafting Mexican education and sexual and reproductive health law and policy.
Regardless of the format, we will offer a solution that best enables your agencies to meet its commitment to improve the quality of life for all citizens.
IMPLEMENT PUBLIC POLICY
Implementation can be the most difficult part of policy change. Are you unsure how to bring school curriculum in line with new life skills- and competencies-based requirements? Do your personnel need to meet more rigorous performance standards? Yo quiero Yo puedo is the solution. We have extensive experience collaborating with the Mexican government to design and successfully implement programming to respond to new public policy. Our “I want to, I can” civics and ethics textbook, for example, designed to address a policy change on civics content requirements, currently reaches 11.5 million students across Mexico.
Our experts assess policy requirements, design programming to align with these requirements and carry them through implementation, as well as rigorously evaluate outcomes.

DEVELOP SPECIFIC PROGRAMS AND MATERIALS
We have extensive experience collaborating with government in Mexico and abroad to design impactful programs, strengthen existing programs and develop complementary materials that enable government agencies to meet their mandates and targets.
Our proven framework underlies this, providing government employees with not only the tools but also the skills to sustainably improve target behaviors in communities and ultimately improve the quality of life for all citizens.
Results from our programs

We have received the Juscelino Kubitschek Award from the Inter-American Development Bank, the most important distinction awarded by a multilateral organization in the region, in recognition of the impact of our programs.
EVALUATE YOUR PROGRAMS
Our team includes experts in both qualitative and quantitative methodologies for process and impact evaluation, and possesses unique field experience, sensitivity to contextual issues and holds membership in the National System of Researchers.
We are committed to the value of evaluation for demonstrating impact, facilitating program improvement and ensuring accountability. To date we have conducted over 200 program evaluations covering a range of topics that ultimately aim for behavior change, be it in community development, health education or microfinance, among other areas. We have evaluated the effectiveness of the Mexican government traffic safety program and undertaken the field data collection to evaluate the Mexican Ministry of Education’s initiative to introduce technology into the classroom.
Our extensive experience enables us to respond to your situation, whether you need behavioral observations through home visits in marginalized rural populations, the development of online surveys or the application of questionnaires with the support of advanced technology such as smartphones.
