“Conflict of interest policy each year, trustees, officers and members of the committees of the corporation 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 thereafter in the course of employment in situations that pose a potential conflict or the appearance of a conflict, and require employee affirmation in writing. All employees are required to disclose conflicts of interest, and situations that may constitute a conflict 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 board of trustees executive committee comprised of independent trustees, reviews and approves the compensation of the president annually.

Copies of the council's 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 council's 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.”

“(continued from part i) the lives of underserved populations around the world. We take a multidisciplinary, intergenerational, life-cycle approach that contributes to four global goals, including the connections between them: 1. Ensure sexual and reproductive health, rights, and choices 2. Empower adolescents and young people to reach their full potential 3. Achieve gender equality and equity 4. Pursue justice in the face of climate and environmental changes established in 1952 and headquartered in new york, the council is a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization governed by an international board of trustees. Ensure sexual and reproductive health, rights, and choices: the council works to improve sexual and reproductive health especially for populations systematically discriminated against in low and middle income countries. In partnership with other nongovernmental organizations, government policymakers, program managers, and communities, we study and improve reproductive health services; support the introduction of new contraceptives worldwide; and assist policymakers in formulating, launching, and expanding evidence-informed programs and policies. The council also seeks to reduce the impact of hiv-related disability, death, stigma and discrimination, and orphanhood on individuals' lives and on the lives of people in their families, communities, and societies. The council's biomedical laboratories at the center for biomedical research (cbr) develop innovative products that help protect the health and well-being of millions of people worldwide. Cbr's researchers pioneered the field of long acting, reversible contraception, including intrauterine devices and implants. Today, more than 170 million people worldwide are using contraceptive technologies developed at cbr or based on cbr's technologies. Cbr scientists are investigating new approaches to prevent hiv and other sexually transmitted infections, including multipurpose prevention technologies. Cbr is developing next generation contraceptives and delivery systems, including rings, gels, tablets, and fast dissolving inserts, which are designed to be safer, lower cost, and easier to use. Empower adolescents and young people to reach their full potential: the council conducts policy oriented research and tests programs that transform the lives of adolescents, especially girls. We conduct rigorous impact evaluations on interventions to improve the lives of adolescent girls, evaluating what works, for which girls, under what circumstances, and at what cost. We study the best ways to build the assets of adolescent girls to give them social, educational, and economic opportunities to break the cycle of poverty. Achieve gender equality and equity: the population council tackles social norms and power imbalances that underlie harmful practices impacting the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of individuals, especially women and girls. We collaborate with locally-rooted organizations, feminists, communities, and governments to conduct research to advance gender equity by tackling social systems and policies that perpetuate gender discrimination, violence, and systemic neglect. Pursue justice in the face of climate and environmental changes: the council investigates the complex interactions and dynamics between people and their environment and helps to ensure that climate programs and policies are progressive, inclusive, and rooted in the principles of equity. We harness evidence to build resilient, sustainable, and equitable communities, able to adapt to and mitigate the climate crisis. Climate change research includes a focus on gender equality and adolescent health and well-being, harmonized demographic and climate modeling, and sustainable livelihoods for economic empowerment. Population council researchers advocate for solutions to real-world problems; solutions that are evidence-based, rigorously tested, evaluated, and proven effective. After we demonstrate the effect”

“Empower adolescents and young people to reach their full potential: through our girl innovation, research, and learning (girl) center, the population council carries forward a global agenda that we helped define 25 years ago to transform the lives of adolescents, especially girls. Achieve gender equality and equity: the population council tackles social norms and power imbalances that underlie harmful practices impacting the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of individuals, especially women and girls. Sexuality, race, and ethnicity, among other identities, intersect in relation to people's gendered experiences. We work locally, regionally, and globally to develop, implement, and scale proven context-relevant solutions. Pursue justice in the face of climate and environmental changes: the population council's initiative on population, environmental risks, and the climate crisis (percc) conducts rigorous, innovative, cross-disciplinary social science research; builds publicly accessible datasets, tools, and models; and utilizes our findings and insights to help shape climate adaptation policy at every level, from municipalities to national strategies and united nations agencies. The council's approach is underpinned by a climate justice lens, acknowledging that those who contribute the least to climate change are disproportionately harmed. 2023 key accomplishments: ensure sexual and reproductive health, rights, and choices: after six years of extensive research on social and behavior change (sbc) across 60 studies in 19 countries, the population council-led usaid global flagship breakthrough research project concluded with four legacy areas provider behavior change, enabling environment, sbc measurements, and costing and cost-effectiveness to guide global sbc programs, aiming to enhance a broad spectrum of health outcomes. Drawing on experience in low- and middle-income countries (lmics), the population council is broadening collaboration with u.s. Partners to reduce stigma and support mental health among black sexual minority men and to pioneer a community-based and a pharmacy-based prep intervention aimed at boosting prep uptake among black adults in washington, d.c.”

“- with celanese corporation, the population council will supply the vitaldose drug delivery platform for use in a new multipurpose prevention technology (mpt) intravaginal ring (ivr) to provide both contraception and protection against hiv. Cbr continues to expand mpt development for protection against sexually transmitted infections and pregnancy with an investment from the german federal ministry of education and research through the kfw development bank. - joining forces with swiftpharma, the council signed an agreement for the plant-based manufacture of griffithsin to further the development of a fast-dissolving vaginal insert for protection against hiv. Empower adolescents and young people to reach their full potential: the population council's girl innovation, research, and learning (girl) center continues to produce accessible and easy-to-grasp data and insights that bridge the gap between decision-makers and evidence to inform policies and programs. The adolescent atlas for action (a3) captures the lives and needs of adolescents through multidimensional data analytics. A3 launched the adolescent and young people (ayp) migration dashboard, offering a comprehensive view of young migrants worldwide. This dashboard reveals the proportion of migrants by country, profiles their experiences, and delves into the myriad factors influencing migration patterns across 30 countries. The population council is expanding opportunities for adolescent girls and young women in neglected regions. Through the swedd initiative (the sahel women's empowerment and demographic dividend project), our researchers provide technical assistance for second-phase expansion of empowerment programming in nine countries: benin, burkina faso, cameroon, chad, cte d'ivoire, guinea, mali, mauritania, and niger. Swedd's mission is to improve life skills and sexual and reproductive health knowledge, keep girls in school, increase economic opportunities, and combat gender-based violence. The council is scaling up its multisectoral girls' empowerment programs, which have shown significant reductions in early pregnancies and improvements in school enrollment. In partnership with kenya's wajir county government, the council is customizing this effective approach for government implementation. The council's aim is to extend this model throughout kenya and other settings with high rates of early marriage and pregnancy, creating a broader impact. A documentary features voices from girl participants, program implementers, community leaders, and researchers about the program and its potential for scale. Achieve gender equality and equity: the council launched a new global innovation hub for research on education the gender, education, justice, and equity initiative (geje). Geje tackles the global education crisis by generating the data and insights on the ripple effects of education, unpacking how progress in education can translate into economic and social equity, and identifying programs that are working to eliminate inequity and injustice. In addition, the evidence for gender and education resource (eger) released the global accountability dashboard to monitor progress and highlight gaps for key indicators in gender transformative education to propel action. In india, the population council rigorously evaluated whether and how a broad range of interventions led by women's self-help groups can lead to positive behavior change and access to services in reproductive, maternal, newborn, and child health, and in nutrition. Drawing from global evidence on women's groups, council researchers produced tools to guide global investment in this model across settings. The council elevates data visibility of sexual and gender minority communities through community-based participatory research. The our health matters study, led by a local indian transmasculine steering committee, informs policy and program development for transmasculine health. Pursue justice in the face of clima”
