It is engaged in research and education on issues pertaining to the poor and to social transformation in Nicaragua and in all of Central America.

Its work includes exposing the anti-Sandinista stance of La Prensa, the traditional newspaper in Nicaragua.[2] It also reflected on the situation of the indigenous peoples.[3] It dealt extensively with the Nicaraguan coastal conflict.[4][dead link] Since the electoral defeat of the FSLN in 1990, envio has turned its attention more to Central American and regional issues, offering information, analysis, and research.[5]
IHCA offers programs within its Global Project. Since 1994 it has sponsored monthly workshops. Since 2003 it has offered leadership training programs for government leaders in Managua, Carazo, Masaya, and Granada. Since 2007 in conjunction with Central American University it has offered Nicaraguan students a diploma in Training for Political Citizenship.[6][dead link]

Guardian Angel sisters,[7] Jesuit scholastics, and dozens of dispersed people help to coordinate the training efforts.
