Overview
This grant to the Funders Network on Population, Reproductive Health and Rights will support a leadership development cohort for members of the reproductive health, rights, and justice movement. The aim of this project is to catalyze a shift in the leadership and collaboration capacity of leaders working in this sector by (a) increasing the individual effectiveness of movement leaders through three fellowship cohorts and (b) providing opportunities for relationship building, dialogue, partnership, and collaboration within each cohort. Through this fellowship, leaders will be better positioned to diversify and strengthen the field over the long term.

Grants to this Grantee

for general operating support
The Funders Network on Population, Reproductive Health and Rights has been a Hewlett Foundation grantee for fifteen years. Through annual meetings and briefings, the Network helps funders understand the field and policy context so they can make the most strategic grantmaking decisions in service of the Network’s goal: that all people have access to the information and services needed to manage their own fertility and protect their sexual and reproductive health.

For PATH’s Reproductive Health Global Program
PATH’s Reproductive Health Global Program works in more than seventy low-income countries to support better reproductive health services for women, men, and youth. This grant would fund three of the Reproductive Health Global Program’s priority activities: developing plans for an on-demand oral contraceptive, introducing a new injectable contraceptive technology called Sayana Press, and assessing the costs to the health system of restrictive abortion policies. The first two activities reflect the Global Development and Population Program’s stronger emphasis on fostering specific improvements in access to and quality of family planning services; the third reflects the Program’s interest in increasing access to safe abortion services by providing better data about abortion for policymakers.
