The Population Institute (PI) collaborates with global partners to advance our goals and mission.
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.
PI recently worked with Regenerate Africa partners to create and publish a set of fact sheets based on this work. This set includes:
Climate Change Impacts on Health
Link Between Gender and Climate Change
Interlinkages Between Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights/Family Planning and Climate Change
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.
Stanback Fellowship Program
The Stanback Fellowship Program is a partnership between the Nicholas School of the Environment and non-profit environmental organizations. The program provides Fellows with significant project-based learning experiences in energy, conservation, advocacy, policy, research and applied resource management.
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.
Woodrow Wilson Center
The Population Institute (PI) is a proud partner of the Woodrow Wilson Center. Chartered by Congress, the Wilson Center aims to provide nonpartisan counsel and insights on global affairs through research, analysis, and independent scholarship. The Wilson Center and PI work together to highlight crucial interactions between population, health, prosperity, and security.
