Overview
This grant will support efforts to make women’s economic lives more visible by creating cross-national databases to measure economic flows by age and gender, including the value of unpaid care and housework. In the first phase of the Counting Women’s Work project, local research teams from 15 countries completed the analytical work. During this grant period, the project will expand to more countries, and deepen research and policy outreach efforts. Outreach activities will include regional engagement such as presentations at the African Union, publication in peer-reviewed journals, and dissemination and communications events with global partners.

for support of the Political Psychology of American Democracy project
The Goldman School of Public Policy (GSPP) at UC Berkeley is a graduate school that engages in research and analysis while also training students to deploy a broad toolkit for problem-solving. This grant supports GSPP’s Political Psychology of American Democracy project, which will launch a three-wave national public opinion study that tracks and analyzes the public’s political attitudes, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors toward democracy.

The Center for Effective Global Action (CEGA) at the University of California at Berkeley works to produce rigorous evidence about what works to expand education, health, and economic opportunities for people living in poverty. This grant supports CEGA’s set of interconnected activities, including hosting fellowships for social scientists from East and West Africa, organizing convenings that connect African scholars to global networks of faculty and Ph.D. students for mentorship and collaboration, and increasing access to research, dissemination, and policy engagement opportunities for African researchers.
