The Population Institute (PI) collaborates with global partners to advance our goals and mission.
Afrobarometer
The Population Institute is partnering with Afrobarometer, a pan-African, non-partisan research network, to support public opinion polling and analysis focused demographic change in Africa. This partnership will enable Afrobarometer to strategically disseminate findings from a recent survey module on sexual and reproductive health and rights, women, and gender, as well as conduct additional polling on SRHR and related topics.
OASIS Sahel
The Population Institute (PI) is proud to partner with OASIS, an NGO devoted to advancing education and choice for women and girls in the Sahel. Through this partnership, PI supports analysis and advocacy to increase funding for women and girls in the region. A central part of this work is highlighting the importance of sexual and reproductive health and rights/family planning and gender justice within the context of climate change.
Regenerate Africa
The Population Institute (PI) collaborates with a number of global partners to advance our goals and mission. We have a strong collaboration with Regenerate Africa, a Ugandan NGO working at the intersection of environment, natural resources, gender, and health. Regenerate Africa recently launched a video highlighting these linkages.
In 2023, PI supported Regenerate Africa’s leadership in productive discussions leading up to the COP28 international climate discussions and positioning government ministries to participate in developing proposals for multilateral climate finance. Recent research conducted by Regenerate Africa highlights the gender inequalities, exacerbated by climate change, that influence vulnerability and adaptive capacities. PI currently supports Regenerate Africa’s strategic efforts to include population dynamics, health, and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) into the country’s climate change agenda, finance, and actions.
Sahiyo
The Population Institute is a proud partner of Sahiyo, an advocacy group led by survivors of female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) that work to address the profound of lack of acknowledgement of this practice as a form of gender-based violence and child abuse globally. Sahiyo is influential in advocating for culturally competent and empowering policies and systems of care through grassroots campaigns, storytelling techniques, and research.
Stimson Center
The Population Institute is a proud partner of the Stimson Center. The Stimson Center promotes international security and shared prosperity through applied research and independent analysis, global engagement, and policy innovation. This collaboration, a project of the Stimson Center’s Environmental Security Program called “The Shape of Our Future,” aims to advance evidence-based policy, research, and knowledge sharing to highlight the relevance of often-overlooked population trends to key U.S. and global priorities related to health, economic prosperity, and security. Key project activities will include deepening policymakers’ understanding of security concerns in the Sahel and Coastal West Africa and identifying entry points for more effective engagement across the region, strengthening congressional engagement around population dynamics, and curating a series of articles on the New Security Beat, a Stimson Center knowledge-sharing platform.
University of Michigan
The Green Revolution—the transformative 20th-century agricultural project that dramatically increased crop yields across the globe—is the subject of a new Population Institute research partnership with the University of Michigan. The research, led by Professor Dean Yang in the Department of Economics and Ford School of Public Policy, will explore how the Green Revolution changed the distribution of people and agricultural production across our planet; its impacts on population, fertility, and environmental degradation; and its interactions with concurrent family planning policies implemented by governments. As the world grapples with current challenges related to food insecurity, climate change, and population growth, answers to these questions can help shed light on policies related to family planning access, agricultural development, and environmental protection.
U.S. End FGM/C Network
The U.S. End FGM/C Network has an inspired mission to eliminate female genital/mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) by connecting, supporting, elevating, and advocating on behalf of and alongside diverse U.S. stakeholders engaged in prevention, education, and care. PI is a proud member of the U.S. End FGM/C Network and grateful for their support on respectful anti-FGM/C advocacy.
