Overview
This grant would enable the Population Reference Bureau to continue to inform people around the world about population, health, and the environment, and empower them to use information to advance the well-being of current and future generations. The Bureau plans to advance four key intermediate outcomes in the near term: on the programmatic side, the organization would develop a pipeline of projects on priority emerging issues such as data needs in the new Sustainable Development Goals, and increase its visibility and leadership in the population and development field; on the organizational side, it would develop a comprehensive monitoring, learning, and evaluation framework, and improve its human resources management system.

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.
