for general operating support Throughout its nearly forty-year history, which includes twenty-five years of support from the Hewlett Foundation, Ipas has worked with health systems and policymakers to promote a public health approach to unsafe abortion, a major threat to women’s health and lives. With this unrestricted funding, Ipas would continue to increase women’s ability to exercise their sexual and reproductive rights worldwide by training health providers and advocating for policies that permit the provision of safe abortion. Africa is Ipas’s highest-priority region, as the risk of death from unsafe abortion in some parts of sub-Saharan Africa is higher than in any other region in the world. According to the World Health Organization, about half the world’s deaths from unsafe abortion each year occur in sub-Saharan Africa.
for practical and resilient data systems in Uganda’s new cities The government of Uganda is planning to create 15 new cities from existing towns by the end of 2023. This will create new opportunities, but it will also put a strain on infrastructure and services. As a result, data and evidence use in decision making at this urban level, together with sound governance of that data and evidence, will be critical to these new cities' success. To prepare for this, three current Hewlett Foundation grantees based in Uganda — Sunbird AI, UN Global Pulse Lab Kampala, and ToroDev — will work together with the new city authorities in Fort Portal and Jinja to identify these cities' core data and evidence needs; train city officials on how to use data and evidence to make decisions; support the institutionalization of data use at the city level; and pilot new data and AI technologies to aid in decision making. This grant is for ToroDev's portion of the collaboration and will build directly off  the recommendations it made and the coalitions it created during the urban data governance baselining project it conducted in 2022-23.

The Student Learning Study catalogued low levels of learning across the country and provided insights on where students are most often falling short. To help states understand the results and identify ways to improve upon them, this grant would fund EI to conduct workshops with government education officials, teacher trainers, and school administrators in ten states.

for support of El Colegio de Mexico's PRECESAM program With this grant, El Colegio de México would extend its long-standing research and analysis of rural poverty and welfare in Mexico, the most detailed available. This work is done in collaboration with the University of California, Davis, and is used broadly by researchers, policymakers, and nongovernmental advocates in the United States, Mexico, and beyond, including international financial institutions. Perhaps most importantly, project data have become a key input for the Mexican government in designing rural development policy, including agricultural and antipoverty subsidies-a focus for our T/A work in Mexico.
