Overview
The grant will support the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) to enhance its role in analyzing and communicating evidence to diverse audiences through the development and implementation of a knowledge management strategy. The new strategy builds on PRB’s existing monitoring, learning, and evaluation framework and aims to strengthen the organization’s internal knowledge sharing processes and systems. PRB’s investment in a well-crafted knowledge management strategy should improve its ability to synthesize, package, and disseminate evidence-based information to influence policies on population, health, and the environment.

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.
