Overview
The Global Leaders Council for Reproductive Health consists of sixteen sitting and former heads of state and other high-level leaders committed to increasing awareness of the importance of reproductive health in all aspects of economic and human development. Funding for this project would allow the Global Leaders Council to continue to engage in communications and policy activities to build political leadership and increase financial support for family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) policies and programs. Communications strategy for the Council will focus on the links between FP/RH and economic growth and between FP/RH and climate change, and will be coordinated with the Foundation’s support for research on these topics.

Grants to this Grantee
for India-U.S. Track II Dialogue on Energy and Climate Change
The Aspen Institute, in partnership with Ananta Aspen Centre in India, manages the India-U.S. Track II Dialogue on Energy and Climate Change. This sponsorship grant helped the institute assemble a group of experts from government, NGOs, academia, and the business community to help define a constructive bilateral agenda on critical energy and climate concerns. The Track II Dialogue aims to foster trust and cooperation, and uses targeted analyses to suggest concrete pathways for collaboration between the governments and relevant subnational and nonstate actors.

for the project Advancing a New Paradigm for Public Education
The Aspen Institute is a nonpartisan forum for values-based leadership and the exchange of ideas. Its Education & Society Program seeks to improve public education outcomes by informing, influencing, and inspiring education leaders across policy and practice, with an emphasis on achieving equity for students of color and students from low-income families. The Aspen Institute asserts that in today’s complex educational landscape, the country lacks a unifying vision for its public schools. This grant supports a series of exploratory conversations to reconceptualize public education’s purpose, discuss plausible definitions of success, and consider the measures of progress that would accompany a new paradigm for public education.
