Overview
The Population Reference Bureau (PRB) recently concluded a search for a new CEO with the hiring of Jeffrey Jordan in July 2014. At the same time the search was underway, PRB's management team went through a strategic planning process. Both these events led PRB to recognize the need to develop and nurture leadership skills among its mid- and senior-level staff to better equip them to take on larger leadership roles, so that the organization can continue to grow and excel. This Organizational Effectiveness (OE) grant will enable PRB to work with the Training Resource Group, Inc. to design and deliver a one-year leadership development training and coaching program for eight selected staff.

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.
