In its work, FUNDEPS focuses primarily on the areas of Democratic Governance; Access to Justice; and the Strengthening of Civil Society.

To this end, FUNDEPS concentrates on seeking to work collectively alongside all of the actors involved in the development process: different levels of government, the private sector, the citizenry and other civil society actors. With this goal in mind, FUNDEPS develops activities that include training and technical assistance, lobbying, policy research and development, strategic litigation, and the development campaigns to raise awareness and widespread coverage. In each of the following areas, FUNDEPS has developed targeted work programs:  

Democratic Governance Area

• Strengthening of Governmental Transparency Program - Coordinator Cesar E. Murua
• Access to Information Program - Coordinator Pablo Bollati 

Access to Justice Area

• Legal Clinic Program - Coordinator Martin Juarez Ferrer

Strengthening of Civil Society Area

• Program for the Strengthening of the Regulatory Framework for Citizen Participation
