Overview
The Women and Population (W&P) Program at the United Nations Foundation works with the United Nations and other partners to promote gender equality and empower women and girls, especially through sexual and reproductive health and rights. In 2008, the W&P Program launched a multi-stakeholder advocacy initiative to strengthen U.S. leadership on international reproductive health and family planning, with support from the Gates, Packard, and Hewlett foundations and other funders. Since then, the initiative’s twenty-two sub-grantees have achieved impressive funding and policy results, contributing to a more than 50 percent increase in U.S. funding and the highest amount ever appropriated for international reproductive health and family planning. Recommended funds would enable the United Nations Foundation to consolidate recent gains and sustain momentum—vital in the changed U.S. political environment. The United Nations Foundation will push to strengthen U.S. leadership on international reproductive health and family planning through three intermediate outcomes: increased funding; effective and integrated policies; and more strategic, synchronized advocacy by NGOs and opinion leaders.

Grants to this Grantee
for the U.S. Climate Alliance
The U.S. Climate Alliance is uniquely suited to help states deliver on historic opportunities for bold climate action and maximize the potential of the Inflation Reduction Act to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This grant will support states as they harness new federal resources, creating in-house secretariat capacity to provide technical, policy, and communications assistance to states, at scale, and deliver critical flexible funding.

for the U.S. Climate Alliance
The U.S. Climate Alliance is a bipartisan coalition of governors representing 24 states, with more than 60% of U.S. GDP, 55% of the U.S. population, and 40% of U.S. emissions. These governors are committed to driving the nation’s ambitious climate agenda by working in partnership with each other, the federal government, and the international community. The alliance has an important role to play in implementation of federal climate investment laws by supporting state engagement with federal agencies, supporting the development of state decarbonization plans, and supporting effective deployment of federal dollars to drive decarbonization and community economic development.
