“CONFLICT OF INTEREST POLICY Each year, trustees and officers are required to affirm statements attesting to the lack of a conflict or disclosing of any conflicts to the board in the conduct of their responsibilities to the Council. If a potential conflict or the appearance of conflict is disclosed, appropriate measures are or will be taken by the board to eliminate or manage the situation. Failure to disclose a known conflict is cause for removal from the board or other Council position. Per Council policy, the staff conflicts of interest policy and disclosure form are distributed to all employees upon hire and require employee affirmation in writing. The policy and disclosure forms are distributed every other year to all employees and require employee affirmation. All employees are required to disclose conflicts of interest as they arise to their supervisor or other Council official. Employees who are engaged in research are required to submit a separate financial conflict of interest in research disclosure form annually. In all cases, if a conflict is disclosed or identified, appropriate measures are or will be taken to eliminate or manage the matter. Failure to disclose a known conflict is grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.”

“COMPENSATION OF PRESIDENT The Council's Board of Trustees delegated to the Hiring Committee responsibility for reviewing and approving the compensation of the President at the time the position was being recruited.

“DOCUMENT DISCLOSURE The Council posts on its external website, at www.popcouncil.org, the most recent three years of audited financial statements and corresponding Forms 990. Copies of the Councils governing documents and its conflict of interest policy are available to the general public upon request. The IRS does not require the public dissemination of the Population Councils IRS Form 1023, because the Council was founded in 1952 and public availability is not required where the Council did not have a copy of its exemption application on the effective date of the requirement in July 1987.”

“ORGANIZATION'S MISSION The Population Council confronts critical health and development issues, from stopping the spread of HIV to improving reproductive health and ensuring that young people lead full and productive lives. Through biomedical, social science, and public health research in 50 countries, we work with our partners to deliver solutions that lead to more effective policies, programs, and technologies that improve lives around the world. Established in 1952 and headquartered in New York, the Council is a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization governed by an international board of trustees. POPULATION COUNCIL RESEARCHERS WORK WITHIN THREE PROGRAM AREAS: HIV AND AIDS; POVERTY, GENDER, AND YOUTH; AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH. HIV and AIDS: The goal of this program is to stop the spread of HIV globally, especially among the growing number of women and girls affected, and to enable people to mitigate the impact of the disease on their own health and on their families and communities. Council staff members conduct basic research on transmission of HIV and are developing multi-purpose prevention technologies to reduce women's risk of HIV infection. The Council also collaborates with programs around the world, especially in Africa, to improve HIV prevention, care, and treatment to people living with HIV. POVERTY, GENDER, AND YOUTH: THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO BUILD A COHERENT BODY OF POLICY ORIENTED RESEARCH AND PROGRAMS WHICH CONTRIBUTES MEANINGFULLY TO GLOBAL EFFORTS THAT IMPROVE THE LIVES OF VULNERABLE POPULATIONS, ESPECIALLY DISADVANTAGED GIRLS. COUNCIL STAFF WORK TO ADVANCE THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE ON ISSUES FACING THE MOST VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES THROUGH RIGOROUS POLICY AND PROGRAM ORIENTED POPULATION RESEARCH; PREVENT AND MITIGATE THE MOST URGENT AND DIFFICULT PROBLEMS FACING THESE POPULATIONS THROUGH THE DESIGN AND EVALUATION OF COUNTRY-BASED PROGRAMS; INFORM AND INFLUENCE INSTITUTIONAL AND PUBLIC POLICIES BY PROMOTING KNOWLEDGE GAINED THROUGH THE PROGRAM'S RESEARCH AND PROGRAMS; IMPROVE THE COMPETENCE AND CAPACITY OF THE NEXT GENERATION OF RESEARCHERS TO CONDUCT POLICY AND PROGRAM ORIENTED POPULATION RESEARCH. THE COUNCIL'S WORK HAS HAD A DEMONSTRABLE IMPACT IN EGYPT, ETHIOPIA, GUATEMALA, INDIA, KENYA, SOUTH AFRICA, AND ELSEWHERE. REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH: THE GOAL OF THE PROGRAM IS TO IMPROVE SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH, ESPECIALLY FOR DISADVANTAGED POPULATIONS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES. STAFF MEMBERS DEVELOP AND INTRODUCE NEW CONTRACEPTIVES AND MEANS TO PREVENT, DETECT, AND TREAT SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS, HELP FORMULATE EVIDENCE-BASED POLICIES, AND EVALUATE INNOVATIONS IN SERVICE DELIVERY. WE COLLABORATE EXTENSIVELY WITH LOCAL AND REGIONAL GOVERNMENTS AND NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS WORLDWIDE TO EXPAND ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY HEALTH SERVICES; INCREASE OPTIONS FOR SAFE, AFFORDABLE, AND REVERSIBLE CONTRACEPTION FOR MEN AND WOMEN; AND SHAPE POLICIES AND PROGRAMS TO IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES. THE COUNCIL'S FELLOWSHIP PROGRAMS HAVE HELPED ADVANCE THE CAREERS OF SOCIAL AND BIOMEDICAL SCIENTISTS, PUBLIC HEALTH RESEARCHERS, AND PROGRAM MANAGERS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. THE WORK OF COUNCIL FELLOWS HAS FOSTERED RESEARCH AND INFORMED THE CREATION OF POPULATION, HEALTH, AND DEVELOPMENT POLICIES AND PROGRAMS. THE COUNCIL'S WORLD-CLASS CENTER FOR BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH, LOCATED AT ROCKEFELLER UNIVERSITY, CONDUCTS RESEARCH IN CONTRACEPTION AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH. RESEARCHERS ARE STUDYING THE BIOLOGY OF MALE REPRODUCTION AND DEVELOPING NEW CONTRACEPTIVE TECHNOLOGIES. THE COUNCIL HAS RECENTLY COMPLETED CLINICAL TRIALS OF A NEW CONTRACEPTIVE VAGINAL RING. TO DATE, MORE THAN 120 MILLION WOMEN WORLDWIDE HAVE USED POPULATION COUNCIL DEVELOPED METHODS OF CONTRACEPTION, WHICH INCLUDE THE COPPER-BEARING INTRAUTERINE DEVICES (IUDS), JADELLE, AND MIRENA. THE CENTER ALSO DEVELOPS PRODUCTS TO INHIBIT THE TRANSMISSION OF HIV and other sexually transmitted infections. POPULATION COUNCIL RESEARCHERS ADVOCATE FOR SOLUTIONS TO RE”

“Number of employees the council staff consists of 588 women and men from over 30 countries. Only 248 of the councils 588 employees are either based in the united states or are citizens of the united states. The other 340 council employees are non-u.s. Citizens based outside of the united states and are therefore not issued a w-2.”

“LINE 4A) Reproductive Health --------------------------- The Population Council's Reproductive Health program works to improve the sexual and reproductive health of vulnerable populations in developing countries. Staff members develop and introduce new contraceptives and means to prevent, detect, and treat sexually transmitted infections, help formulate evidence-based policies, and evaluate innovations in service delivery. We collaborate extensively with local and regional governments and nongovernmental organizations worldwide to expand access to high-quality health services; increase the options for safe, affordable, and reversible contraception for men and women; and shape policies and programs to improve health outcomes. Current program priorities include: - Increasing access to family planning and other reproductive health services in countries with unmet need and where clients are unable to achieve reproductive health goals. - Reducing maternal mortality and morbidity, focusing on sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, as well as vulnerable groups in other regions. - Reducing critical reproductive health service usage inequalities related to wealth, age and gender. - Developing and testing the effectiveness and acceptability of new reproductive health technologies designed to benefit women and men in developing countries. - Developing collaborative relationships with pharmaceutical companies to license, register and/or manufacture technologies developed by the Council to support increased access and choice in programs in developing countries. 2015 Key Accomplishments: POPULATION SUMMIT 2015 - PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST IN PAKISTAN'S DEVELOPMENT AGENDA Two out of three women in Pakistan are not using contraception, and maternal mortality is unacceptably high. In partnership with the government of Pakistan and UNFPA, the Council cohosted a landmark Population Summit. Impact: An historic consensus was forged among national and religious LEADERS ON THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIORITIZING HEALTH AND DEVELOPMENT ISSUES IN PARTICULAR TO THE NEED FOR URGEnT ATTENTION TO BIRTH SPACING AND GIRLS' EDUCATION. Misoprostol use in Senegal In Senegal, misoprostol, a drug essential for management of postpartum hemorrhage and post-abortion care, is scarcely available. The Population Councils STEP UP project found that only 1 out of 3 private-sector pharmacists sold misoprostol. Impact: This finding prompted an expansion of regional service training to include pharmacists and increased the number of pharmacists stocking the drug for maternal health indications --from 253 to 415 in a six-month period. It also led to a commitment from the Ministry of Health to train pharmacists on all essential medicines, including misoprostol. Nestorone / Ethinyl Estradiol (NES/EE) Contraceptive Vaginal Ring When a new contraceptive product is made available, overall contraceptive use increases by as much as 8 percent. The Population Council and WomanCare Global, a nonprofit health-care company, announced a worldwide licensing agreement that will add an important new woman-controlled, long-acting, reversible family planning method to the mix. Impact: If the Council-developed NES/EE contraceptive vaginal ring is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, this licensing agreement will give millions of women around the world access to a new contraceptive option. In clinical trials, 89 percent of women were satisfied with the NES/EE ring. Fifth Research Meeting on Unwanted Pregnancy and Unsafe Abortion in Mexico In Mexico, where more than half of all pregnancies are unintended, the Population Council and the National Pro-Choice Alliance hosted the Fifth Research Meeting on Unwanted Pregnancy and Unsafe Abortion. Impact: The meeting strengthened the collaboration between civil society organizations and public institutions to expand the discussion about abortion rights and bring about the global change needed to save lives and improve the quality of abortion services.
