President’s Letter “ Protecting, advancing, and enhancing young people’s welfare is one of the single biggest issues the global development community will need to address over the next 15 years. And the Population Council is at the forefront Julia Bunting, OBE of this issue.” My daughter recently turned 12 years old, and as we celebrated I was overwhelmed by thoughts of what the future might hold for her. Every parent knows the feeling: how can I protect and prepare this bundle of pre-teen potential for the world out there? How can I give her access to everything wonderful that’s waiting out there too? How can I give her the best possible launch into adulthood? This is not just my concern. This is not just the concern of every parent. Protecting, advancing, and enhancing young people’s welfare is one of the single biggest issues the global development community will need to address over the next 15 years. And the Population Council is at the forefront of this issue. In September 2015, at the United Nations General Assembly, heads of state and government launched the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a bold agenda for development by 2030. For the first time, integrating the needs and rights of girls and women is woven into every aspect of the drive to ensure a safe, just, and equitable world and to end poverty worldwide. Young people are half the world’s population, and protecting their human rights, preparing them for adulthood, and creating gender equality must be at the center of every effort. For 65 years, the Population Council has conducted research and delivered solutions that improve young people’s lives around the world. Experts here were among the first to argue that adolescent girls are central to the world’s social and economic development. Over the years, our research has revealed the potential of girl-centered policies to reach hundreds of millions of girls at risk for bad outcomes like early and forced marriage, unintended pregnancy, or HIV infection. The new SDGs provide the roadmap for our work ahead. To achieve progress in reaching the 17 goals and their 169 “targets” requires careful research and evidence to ensure that investments are aligned behind policies and programs that have been proven to work. 1 In Malawi, we have charted the progress over time of more than 2,500 rural adolescents since 2007, collecting data on their school experiences, learning, and health outcomes to guide policies that will boost their achievements and reduce HIV risk. Results so far provide evidence to confirm the intuitive understanding that attending school can have far-reaching benefits, especially for girls. But thanks to the long-term nature of our study, we also know that when girls leave school, their world often shrinks, their achievements vanish, and they drop behind boys. Real and sustainable change will require us to continue to ensure and expand girls’ opportunities beyond school as well as in it. Research matters. By rigorously testing interventions, we find out what works—and importantly what doesn’t—to advance ambitious global goals. Without research, we wouldn’t know the best way to give adolescent girls access to quality sexual and reproductive health care and services that help support a healthy transition to adulthood as their bodies and minds mature. And we might not know that of the 11 most common interventions used to keep adolescent girls in school, only two have actually been proven to work: having female teachers and providing financial help. Traditional skills and study subjects are not necessarily the tools that young people will need to succeed tomorrow. Gender roles are evolving and so are job opportunities—and the places we can intervene to help are evolving too. In South Asia, we work with girls migrating for factory jobs and have found that garment factories are ideal places to deliver the messages and services that will empower young women and improve their 2 lives. And Council research has shown that in schools, comprehensive sex education programs that focus on gender and power dynamics are 5 times more likely to reduce unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections than those that don’t. Achieving the SDGs depends upon our ability to help all of today’s 12-year-old girls make a safe transition through adolescence to a healthy, thriving adulthood. Too much is at stake—and we owe too much to the next generation—to spend money on things that sound good but have not been rigorously evaluated and shown to work. Our generous donors and partners, governments and institutions alike, know that we must rely on evidence and not intuition in deciding where to invest precious resources. This 2015 annual report offers a look at the Council’s contributions of evidence toward understanding the way the world is changing. Our findings may be new, but the process is established routine at the Population Council: generate innovative ideas, rigorously test them, and ensure the results have real-world impact. Because the future of my daughter (and my two younger sons) and millions like them depends upon it, we are helping to create cultures that value adolescents as assets and recognize their potential. We hope this report will engage you in that work as well. Julia Bunting, OBE President 3 2015 Highlights In sub-Saharan Africa, more than 10 percent of girls are married before age 15 and 40 percent before age 18. In child marriage “hotspots” in Ethiopia and Tanzania, the Council tested four strategies to delay child marriage. We found that when families and communities recognized the harms of child marriage and were offered economic incentives like school supplies, chickens, and goats, they delayed the age at which their daughters got married. The results from this research are being used to expand successful approaches to delay child marriage. Research by the Population Council found that comprehensive sexuality and HIV education programs that address gender and power are five times more likely to be effective at reducing STIs and/or unintended pregnancy than those that do not. This work reinforces recommendations in the Council’s It’s All One Curriculum: Guidelines and Activities for a Unified Approach The Council conducted to Sexuality, Gender, HIV, and Human Rights Education, which is the largest-ever survey of reshaping sexuality and HIV education around the world. young people in Egypt to document the economic, Sexuality and HIV Sexuality and HIV programs social, political, and health programs that emphasize that do not emphasize circumstances of young gender or power gender or power people during this critical time in Egypt’s history.

RENSHAN GE PROFILE: DONOR KATY STOKES PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE NOT ONLY CAN UNINTENDED pregnancy and birth be lethal to mother and child, they often trap women in a cycle of poverty in which they are unable to educate or support themselves and to provide for a baby. Modern contraceptives are available in most countries, but with only a few options the rate of unplanned pregnancy remains stubbornly high. This unmet need for contraception puts women’s lives at risk and keeps women and children in a state of poverty. At the Council, clinical research is driven by the principle that no one method of contraception will fit everyone’s needs. An IUD might be ideal for a mother of three living in Mexico City, while a young woman in rural Kenya, without reliable access to a medical facility, may require a different method.

  • Case 24 Curbing Global Population Growth: Rockefeller’S Population Council Rockefeller Foundation, 1952 Steven Schindler
    Case 24 Curbing Global Population Growth: Rockefeller’s Population Council Rockefeller Foundation, 1952 Steven Schindler Background. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, the Rockefeller Foundation had been a significant contributor to broad advances in medical research and efforts in worldwide disease eradication. In contemplating the work of the foundation his grandfather created, John D. Rockefeller III began to believe that a reduction in mortality resulting from his family’s foundation efforts in medicine, without a corresponding decline in fertility rates, could contribute to unsustainable population growth, particularly in developing countries. In the late 1940s, a Rockefeller Foundation-sponsored team returning from Asia noted that an imminent worldwide surge in population growth demanded immediate action.369 Rapid worldwide population growth was known to be taking place, but scholarship on population and demography lacked organization and coherence in part because of the complexity of the problem of population growth and because of the cultural and religious sensitivities implicated in fertility issues. Rockefeller, however, felt that the complexities of rising population growth and the sensitivities of birth control should not inhibit the needed focus of science and public policy.370 Strategy. In the early 1950s, Rockefeller’s interest in the problems related to population growth led him to provide the financial support for a two-day conference, held under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences, the president of which was also the president of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research.371 When the Rockefeller Foundation declined to take up population growth as an issue of concern, Rockefeller formed the Population Council as an independent entity.372 He provided an initial gift of $100,000 to enable the Council to begin its work.

B LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Julia Bunting, OBE Investing in our future For many of us, 2016 felt like a tumultuous year as we witnessed contentious elections, escalating conflicts, and the warmest year on record globally. While these experiences made many of us want to retreat into the safety of our family and friends, they also offered a strong reminder that our work is far from done. Throughout the last 65 years, the Council has advanced rights, enhanced equity, and improved lives. We have done this by delivering rigorous, unbiased evidence that aids diverse governments, decision- makers, and agencies to improve programs and ensure policies are having the intended impact. Despite sometimes differing views—or perhaps particularly when views differ—we have found that evidence can bring clarity to a confusing and divided world. A climate of fear can contribute to increasing isolation. Despite our progress on girls’ rights, Population Council research has shown that when families feel that neighborhoods aren’t safe, girls see their worlds shrink and opportunities contract. They may be pulled from school, socially isolated, forced into labor or marriage, and are more at risk of early pregnancy and HIV infection. The good news is that when we design programs based on rigorous evidence about the realities of girls’ lives, we make a real impact.
