Overview
This grant will enable the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) 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. PRB plans to pursue four intermediate outcomes in the near term: upgrading its digital presence, including the website and social media channels to deliver content in a timely and effective way; strengthening its visibility and thought leadership on key issues such as the demographic dividend; implementing a knowledge management system to better reflect on and share lessons; and investing in human capital and leadership development among staff.

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.
