Overview
The organizational effectiveness grant would support an executive transition at the Population Reference Bureau (PRB), one of core research grantees of the Global Development and Population Program. Wendy Baldwin was recently hired as President of PRB. As President, her mandate includes maintaining the core strengths of PRB while broadening support for the work and expanding areas in which it works. Funds will support the President and PRB's senior staff to work with a consultant to craft messages about PRB’s capabilities in ways that appeal to potential donors, including smaller foundations and individual donors, and other partners to strengthen its base of financial support and develop new program areas.

Grants to this Grantee
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..

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.
