Overview
This grant would support the Population Reference Bureau to translate population and development related research, policy briefs, and information about funding and presentation opportunities from English to French. Many vital publications and information can only be found in English, and therefore difficult to access for Francophone policy makers, scholars, and other stakeholders. These materials have the potential to increase local knowledge of and capacity to analyze population and reproductive health issues in Francophone West Africa, such as the causes and consequences of high fertility, as well as the latest evidence about effective ways to address these challenges.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of Counting Women’s Work
As a regionally led consortium, the Counting Women’s Work (CWW) project 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 in Africa. The consortium includes the Population Reference Bureau, the Consortium Régional pour la Recherche en Économie Générationnelle, and the University of California at Berkeley. In this third phase of the project, the CWW team will accelerate progress toward macro-level gender-responsive policy reforms in Benin, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo, building on its successes and applying lessons learned.

for support of Counting Women's Work
This grant will support the Counting Women’s Work project that seeks to estimate the age and gender dimensions of economic activity, including unpaid care work, and create indicators that are amenable to policy analyses. The Population Reference Bureau, partnering with the University of California at Berkeley, will provide technical assistance and grants to five African research teams to measure the production and consumption of women’s unpaid care work and its effect on economic growth. Teams will develop research-to-action plans that model potential post-COVID-19 policy solutions, engage in-country stakeholders, and include national statistics, economic planning, labor units, and advocates to promote evidence use.
