for a program to allow low-income Bay Area youths to participate in experiential learning abroad Global Citizen Year enables young Americans to work as apprentices in Asia, Africa, and Latin America during the critical "bridge year" between high school and college, offering them the opportunity to hone skills required for success in a globalized world and to build a greater interest in development issues. The program requires youths to share their experiences widely, creating a ripple effect among their communities at home. This grant would support full scholarships for low-income youths from the Bay Area to participate in the program. It will also  help Global Citizen Year explore how best to mobilize much larger sources of funding so that this program-and others like it-can eventually be provided free of charge to low-income students from across the country. The grant is expected to serve several of the Foundation's goals by promoting deeper learning for low-income Bay Area youths and encouraging Americans to support better development policies for the world's poor.
for the Transparency and Accountability Initiative, a donor collaborative The Transparency and Accountability Initiative is a donor collaborative that intends to use the momentum behind transparency and accountability issues to expand the impact, scale, and coordination of funding and activity in this field, and to explore applications of this work in new areas. Hosted by the Open Society Foundation, the Initiative brings together eight leading funders in this area, including other private foundations such as Ford; Great Britain’s development agency, DFID; and key regranting organizations like the International Budget Partnership. Over the grant term, the Initiative will focus on (1) shaping policy and programming in key transparency and accountability fields (natural resource governance and budget transparency); (2) harnessing the potential of new technologies throughout the transparency and accountability movement; and (3) deepening learning on where, when, and how projects succeed or fail to inform support for more effective interventions.

This grant also includes activities after the first quarter of 2013 that may lead to a restructuring or phaseout of MFAN.
for expanding and evaluating a program to improve reading instruction in Northern Uganda This grant to Mango Tree Educational Enterprises would support the expansion of a successful low-cost method to teach children to read in their mother tongue and transition them to English to 200 more schools in Northern Uganda. While developing the model in a smaller number of schools, Mango Tree found that students in their classes were one year ahead of their counterparts in other schools: first graders performed as well as or better than comparison learners at the end of second grade. During the expansion, researchers from the University of Michigan will conduct a randomized external evaluation to measure the impact of Mango Tree’s model on student learning outcomes. If successful, this grant would demonstrate how the government can cost-effectively implement its mother-tongue instruction policy, thereby serving as a model to expand this type of intervention across Uganda.
for support of evaluating health outcomes of the Mexico City Policy in sub-Saharan Africa This grant will enable researchers at Stanford University to extend an earlier analysis of the impact of the Mexico City Policy.
