Video: Population Council 70th Anniversary
No full textFor 70 years, the Population Council has transformed global thinking on critical health and development issues through our social science, public health, and biomedical research.
As the world confronts multiple social, economic, political, and environmental crises, there is increasing need for high-quality and clearly communicated evidence to inform smart policies and sound investments.
At the Population Council, we are redoubling our efforts to make the greatest contributions through new ideas, rigorous evidence, and innovative solutions.
In November 2022, the Council launched its new Strategic Plan, which focuses on four global goals that reflect the urgent problems the world faces. Through these, we will contribute to the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which seek to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity

Women and HIV: Understanding and addressing stigma—Evidence from the Population Council
Full text linkOver the last 20 years, the Population Council has carried out extensive work examining the intersection of stigma and gender and its impact on HIV-related outcomes. This brief summarizes key Population Council findings from a range of studies which elucidate the experiences of stigma among women and highlights avenues for addressing stigma to mitigate women’s risk and burden of HIV
Delivering impact for adolescent girls: Emerging findings from Population Council research
Full text linkDespite numerous global commitments to invest in improving the lives of adolescent girls, questions remain as to what package of interventions can deliver the best outcomes. This report synthesizes findings from nine recent Population Council impact evaluations, conducted around the world, which indicate that empowerment and asset-building interventions for adolescent girls can improve education, health, economic, social capital, gender-equitable attitude, and violence outcomes for girls. The report includes implications for programs and investment, and identifies open questions for further research and evaluation
La estrategia del Population Council: Promoción de transiciones a la vida adulta sanas, seguras y productivas
No full textEste informe sobre la “Promoción de transiciones a la edad adulta: Sanas, seguras y productivas” proporciona una visión general del enfoque del Population Council sobre los adolescentes que comenzó a principios de la década de 1990. El enfoque se ha visto acompañado por un compromiso de trasladar el campo de la investigación y los programas de adolescentes de uno que a menudo se enfoca en la sexualidad, la salud reproductiva y el comportamiento a uno que contemple los problemas sociales y económicos más amplios que constituyen la base de la salud y el bienestar de los adolescentes. En 1998, con la publicación de The Uncharted Passage, una revisión de la situación de las adolescentes en los países en desarrollo, se lanzó el programa de trabajo actual. El enfoque del Population Council se ha caracterizado por cuatro características: atención constante a las implicaciones del género durante la adolescencia; un estrategia multisectorial, que compromete facetas de la sociedad que ejercen influencia sobre las vidas de las niñas adolescentes; una preocupación especial ante la desigualdad; y un compromiso con la investigación de políticas basadas en evidencia combinada con el desarrollo y evaluación de programas. La próxima etapa de este trabajo es demostrar empíricamente en qué manera las inversiones en habilidades para la vida cotidiana y los valores durante la adolescencia afectan los resultados posteriores.

This brief provides an overview of the Population Council’s focus on adolescents that began in the early 1990s. The focus has been accompanied by a commitment to move the field of adolescent research and programs from one often narrowly focused on sexuality, reproductive health, and behavior to the broader social and economic issues that underpin adolescent health and well-being. In 1998, with the publication of The Uncharted Passage—a benchmark review of the situation of adolescent girls in developing countries—the current program of work was launched. The Council’s approach has been characterized by four hallmarks: consistent attention to the implications of gender during adolescence; a multisectoral approach, which engages facets of society that influence the lives of adolescent girls; a special concern with inequality; and a commitment to evidence-based policy research combined with program development and evaluation. The next stage of this work is to demonstrate empirically how investments in critical life skills and assets during adolescence affect later outcomes

La démarche du Population Council: Promouvoir la santé, la sécurité et la productivité transitions vers l\u27âge adulte
No full textCe document “Promouvoir des transitions vers l’âge adulte saines, securisées et productives” donne un aperçu de l’attention du Population Council sur les adolescents qui a commencé au début des années 1990. L\u27accent a été accompagné d\u27un engagement à ouvrir le champ des études et des programmes consacrés aux adolescents en élargissant le simple domaine de la sexualité, de la santé génésique et des comportements aux grandes questions sociales et économiques qui sous-tendent la santé et le bien-être des adolescents. En 1998, avec la publication de The Uncharted Passage—un examen de référence de la situation des adolescentes dans les pays en développement—le programme de travail actuel a été lancé. La démarche du Council se caractérise par quatre particularités: une attention prêtée aux implications des sexospécificités au cours de l’adolescence; une approche multisectorielle qui implique des facettes sociétales agissant sur la vie des adolescentes; une préoccupation particulière concernant l’inégalité; et un engagement à mener des recherches politiques documentées en parallèle à un programme de développement et d\u27évaluation. La prochaine étape de ce travail consistera à démontrer de manière concrète l’impact des investissements dans le développment des aptitudes personnelles et sociales et des ressources au cours de l\u27adolescence sur les résultats ultérieurs.

Addressing stigma and gender inequities to strengthen HIV and AIDS programming: A focus on key populations
Full text linkOver the past 20 years, the Population Council has generated evidence around the types of stigma experienced by key populations at higher risk for HIV, and has designed and tested strategies aimed at reducing stigma and improving HIV programs and outcomes. Key populations (KPs), such as female sex workers, men who have sex with men, transgender individuals, and people who use drugs, often face multiple stigmas that reinforce one another. Evidence generated by the Population Council has shown that addressing and reducing stigma faced by KPs is a crucial step toward improving HIV prevention and treatment outcomes. This brief summarizes Population Council findings on KPs’ experiences of stigma and strategies tested to reduce the stigma and discrimination KPs face
