Overview
This grant will support efforts to make women’s economic lives more visible by creating cross-national databases to measure economic flows by age and gender, including the value of unpaid care and housework. In the first phase of the Counting Women’s Work project, local research teams from 15 countries completed the analytical work. During this grant period, the project will expand to more countries, and deepen research and policy outreach efforts. Outreach activities will include regional engagement such as presentations at the African Union, publication in peer-reviewed journals, and dissemination and communications events with global partners.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity
A grant to the University of California at Berkeley will support the ongoing work of the Center for Long-Term Cybersecurity, the home of this research and engagement at the university. The center focuses on both the “cyber” and “security” components of cybersecurity, grounding efforts in a robust, flexible, and evolving understanding of the “possibility” space of cybersecurity. Research will focus on possible security scenarios and explore the technical, political, and economic intersection of these potential futures. The aim of this approach is to foster interdisciplinary collaboration within the center as well as to add diversity to the cybersecurity conversation. The center brings together academics from the School of Information, the School of Law, Computer Science, the Goldman School of Public Policy, and the College of Engineering, among others. It also engages external stakeholders in all facets of this work, including in outreach efforts. (Strategy: Talent Pipeline)
