for design, implementation, and evaluation of policies and investments that affect the Global South A long-term, core partner of the Evidence-Informed Policymaking strategy within Gender Equity & Governance, AidData is a research lab at the College of William & Mary that generates evidence to help decision makers — both inside and outside of government — design, implement, and evaluate policies and investments in ways that improve the well-being of people living in low- and middle-income countries. Over the next three years, this renewal of general operating support to AidData will allow the institution to continue pursuing two major lines of effort: creating more voice and choice for development decisionmakers in the Global South, and promoting behavioral change among development finance institutions that is responsive to partner country needs and perspectives, and underpinned by rigorous and independent analysis. Tactically, this will mean support to programs in five areas: geospatial tools and impact evaluations, research on gender equity in development, the flagship Listening to Leaders multi-year study, best-in-class analysis and data collection on Chinese development finance, and measuring foreign policy influence. Each of these programs will form a core part of AidData's new 2024-26 strategic plan.

for supporting students to transition from Lango reading fluency to English reading fluency Many countries in sub-Saharan Africa are introducing mother tongue instruction in the early elementary school grades to improve reading fluency. However, very few countries have developed methods and materials that can effectively transition these children from reading fluently in their native language into reading fluently in the national language (French or English). Previous Hewlett funding helped Mango Tree develop and implement a low-cost method to teach children in Lango; this supplemental grant would fund the development of a method to support the transition from Lango to English—without which, children will be left behind not only in later grades that are taught in English, but also in life.

The IPPF ARO team plans to engage African Union Commission leadership and government and civil society decision makers in several different countries in policy dialogue, with a related objective of building the advocacy capacity of the African member associations that IPPF ARO supports.
for a baseline study on urban data governance in Uganda While the field of data governance in Africa continues to mature at both the continental and national level, work is also needed at the subnational level, and especially cities. To that end, ToroDev — a Ugandan research and advocacy organization with extensive experience working at the nexus of transparency, participation, and accountability, as well as evidence-informed policymaking — will undertake a baseline study of the current state and future needs of urban-level data governance in Uganda. The project will examine the challenges and opportunities of urban data governance in East Africa by developing case studies of two very different Ugandan cities: Fort Portal (a city with a strong tourism base) and Hoima (a city with an extractives base). An intensive literature review combined with an online survey will also be conducted in other East African countries and cities to compare with the situation in Uganda. Together, this multipronged effort will draw out broader lessons learned and policy recommendations for data governance in African urban settings. A final report will be produced and disseminated: first in each of the two pilot cities, and later at a national conference, where all city authorities in Uganda will be invited to participate. Lastly, at least two research papers will be published to enrich the growing body of knowledge on data governance in Uganda, the East Africa region, and Africa writ large, with a special focus on the role of data governance in sustainable urbanization. This grant is part of a cluster of grants under the Evidence-Informed Policymaking strategy to strengthen a field of African institutions working on data governance. The goal of this cluster is to help governments in East and West Africa develop policy frameworks that balance public good uses of data with data privacy and protection.
for finalizing and disseminating an access to information implementation assessment tool The Carter Center is a nonpartisan, international think tank that works in collaboration with Emory University, focusing on issues such as peace, health, democracy, and human rights.

This will allow researchers to measure the capacity of government agencies to effectively implement access to information reforms, and make recommendations on how to develop administrative systems that will facilitate greater citizen access to public information.
for general operating support The African Institute for Development Policy (AFIDEP) aims to bridge the gaps among research, policy, and practice by enabling use of evidence in government decision making around development challenges. During this grant period, AFIDEP will strengthen a culture of evidence-informed decision making among African governments. It will do so by addressing barriers to evidence use, providing practical evidence and technical assistance to help governments institutionalize the use of evidence, and advancing learning and networking among experts in this emerging field.

for a regional network of chief financial officers in African cities C40 Cities is a network of about 100 global megacities committed to leadership in climate action. It seeks to reduce the emissions of its member cities within a decade while improving equity, building resilience, and creating the conditions for everyone, everywhere, to thrive. This grant supports the scoping and developing of a regional network of chief financial officers (CFOs) in 13 African cities. The grant aims to strengthen municipal environments favorable to investment, underpinning the development of climate-smart project pipelines at the pace and scale required to meet major African cities' climate goals. The grant will focus on early-stage design, development, and consultation work to identify and support CFO needs, including developing programming, partnerships development, research, and other scoping requirements across sub-Sahara Africa.
for general operating support This general operating support grant to Open Data Watch (ODW) bolsters its mission to bring change to organizations that produce and manage official statistical data to increase their quality, availability, and use. ODW's flagship product (the Open Data Inventory, or ODIN), has become the go-to assessment of the coverage, availability, and openness of official statistics in national databases worldwide — in fact, it is now part of the official measure for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Indicator 17.18.1, to monitor countries' statistical capacities to manage SDG data demand. Going forward, ODW will continue to extend its work into sectoral, practical applications — such as its Gender Data Compass assessing the state of gender data worldwide, and other research tools that apply open data principles and build public trust across the data value chain. ODW will also continue to provide technical advice, engage in advocacy, and build connections between the mainstream official statistics community and those interested in using technological advances to improve data quality and timeliness.

for support of international sexual and reproductive health and rights advocacy In 2010, the World Population Foundation merged with Rutgers Nisso Groep, a Dutch expert center on sexuality, to create Rutgers WPF. The combined entity brings together strong research and advocacy capabilities, as well as established brands in both the Netherlands and in the international arena. A major focus of the international advocacy team during the grant period will be to ensure that sexual rights and reproductive health priorities are included in the post-2015 development goals. In pursuit of this objective, Rutgers WPF plans to target the Dutch and other supportive European governments as well as key G77 countries such as Kenya and Ghana to take a leadership role in advocating for sexual rights and reproductive health.
