“INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMS (CONTINUED) - provides country-level data on modern contraceptive prevalence rates. This year, we took advantage of digital dissemination to broaden the reach of our training knowledge. As part of the USAID-funded PACE Project, PRB international media training program director, Deborah Mesce, created a Media Toolkit: Helping Journalists Get the Storyand Get It Right. The toolkit is a step-by-step guide to conducting a Womens Edition-type training and reflects PRBs strong commitment to providing practical knowledge as well as empowering others to use and share that knowledge independently. In fact, this was the "Year of the Toolkit" for the PACE Project. Project staff also created toolkits for "Subnational Policy Communication"Population, Health, and Environment".”

“U.S. PROGRAMS (CONTINUED) - Although government programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid have helped reduce poverty and improve the health of the older population, current projection indicate that these programs-as currently implemented- are not sustainable. Making policy changes now will ensure that an effective safety net is in place when the yougest baby boomers retire. "Toward a More Equitable Future: The Trends and Challenges Facing America's Latino Children," was produced by PRB and the National Council of La Raza(NCLR) to present a snapshot of Latinos under age 18 to highlight areas of concern to policymakers. Results from the report show that during the past decade, Latinos have made important gains in several key areas of well-being- especially on measures of educational attainment, health insurance coverage, teenage births, and youth incarceration. But Hispanic youth continue to lag behind white youth on many key social and economic indicators. New projections by PRB show that the number of low-income Latino youth could increase by 45 percent from 11 million today to nearly 16 million by 2050-if current levels of inequality persist in the future. Reducing these disparities, especially by reducing racial/ethnic gaps in poverty and education will improve economic conditions for millions of Latino parents and children, and also fuel economic growth by creating a well-qualified workforce.”

“COMMUNICATIONS PROGRAMS (CONTINUED) - From a natural resource perspective, Data Sheet indicators show, for example, that global carbon emissions rose 60 percent between 1992 and 2013, and renewable resources met only 18 percent of current energy demand in 2013. Dissemination of Data Sheet information to the global media yielded substantial coverage, including in Newsweek International, Dawn Pakistan, The Citizen Tanzania, and Spain's El Pais.”
