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.
