- Conduct of researches
- Maintenance of POPDEV database and information system
- Conduct of IEC/advocacy activities (e.g. Popularization of State of the Philippine Population Reports, PopDev Week)
- Conduct of Innovative Projects
- Monitoring of Population movement through the Migration information Centers
