Overview
As a regionally led consortium, Counting Women’s Work-West Africa (CWW-WA) seeks to expand the analysis of unpaid care work and deepen local engagement to support the effective use of evidence in economic policy formulation and implementation. The consortium includes the Population Reference Bureau, the Consortium Régional pour la Recherche en Économie Générationnelle, and the University of California at Berkeley. In the project’s next phase, the CWW-WA team will accelerate progress toward better and more consistent application of gender-sensitive budgeting tools in national planning to address unpaid care. The team will also develop a new, French-first methodology to harmonize understanding of the links among unpaid care work, social protection, and social spending in the consortium’s policy-influencing efforts.

for general operating support
The Population Reference Bureau (PRB) identifies, synthesizes, and disseminates rigorously vetted demographic, health, and environmental data and serves as a bridge between data producers and evidence users, including policy influencers, public- and private-sector decision makers, and advocacy organizations. PRB’s extensive expertise in demography, public policy, communications, and health affords the organization a unique role in the global development field, which it leverages through a wide range of strategic partnerships across multiple sectors..
