About Us

Mission and Objectives

 Elementos Comunitarios (Elementos) is a research institution dedicated to improving social programs and public health through implementation research, program planning, monitoring, evaluation, and learning. We work to strengthen policies, programs, and systems that support the well-being of vulnerable populations worldwide. Guided by implementation science, our research projects focus on the systematic design of program protocols; identifying barriers and priority adaptations; piloting innovative solutions; and building pathways for sustainability and scale. We partner with governments, NGOs, universities, and communities to improve how social programs are implemented, evaluated, and reported—with a special focus on maternal and child health.
