One of CICRED's objectives is to monitor the capacities and activities of the world's demographic Centres.
See in particular
- our database of demographic centres in various countries or regions
- our recent study of the institutional diversity of demographic centres
CICRED aims also at assisting in institutional development to develop the capacities of its members Centres -particularly those that are poorly resourced. Centres of the South should be enabled to fully participate in research and in international debates and programmes.
To achieve these goals, CICRED launched in 2005 a survey of institutional capacities and needs across its member Centres. See our last Policy Paper on Needs and Capabilities.

Several capacity surveys have been conducted in the recent past and their reports highlight some of the main characteristics of the population institutional web and expertise across the world with particular attention to demography in developing countries. |
