Overview
The Population Poverty Research Initiative—a collaboration between the Foundation, several European research councils, and other partners—enhances understanding of the relationships among reproductive health, population dynamics, and economic development. This recommended grant would support the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) to serve as a secretariat for the Initiative. PRB’s responsibilities would cover three core areas: research, communication, and administration. Representative activities would include coordinating and participating with the European research councils to call for work to fill gaps in currently funded research; organizing annual meetings to share ongoing research and methodology workshops to strengthen research capacity; maintaining the Initiative’s website; communicating research findings to policymakers and other key audiences; and keeping track of ongoing and new research. By supporting high-quality research and ensuring that policy-relevant findings are translated and disseminated, PRB will advance the Initiative’s goal of making reproductive health and population outcomes a priority in development strategies and policies.

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.
