The Latin American Center for Political Studies (CELAEP) is an organization dedicated to scientific research, counseling, technical assistance, training and generating spaces for dialogue.

CELAEP’s mission is to strengthen institutions and consolidated democracy in Ecuador and the Andean region.

We seek to position CELAEP as one of the main study centers (think tanks) at a regional scale in the areas of democracy, public policy, security studies, public management and local development, transparency and social responsibility, economic and fiscal studies; development and migration, integration and international relations.
