for convenings on the topic of COVID vaccine rollout to advance global health priorities in Africa This grant will support a senior-level convening and publication to see if the multibillion-dollar rollout of COVID vaccines in Africa and other low-income countries can be leveraged to strengthen health systems and include other health services, including reproductive health. The COVAX rollout is likely to be the largest one-off public health program ever launched, as major donors and the GAVI vaccine alliance join forces to pay for COVID vaccine campaigns to reach billions of people in the developing world, including hundreds of millions who rarely have access to health care. The Hewlett Foundation, the Children’s Investment Fund Foundation (the largest funder of this convening), and their partners (Africa CDC and the World Bank’s Global Financing Facility) are keen to ensure that this COVAX program maximizes potential health impact. (Strategy: Gender Equity and Governance Program)
for the Eleanor Roosevelt Fund The Eleanor Roosevelt Fund is a gift commemorating the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the United Nations.

for general operating support The International Initiative for Impact Evaluation (3ie) advances the generation and use of evidence to support better-designed and effectively implemented development programs. During this grant period, 3ie will focus on supporting evaluations in under-researched areas such as governance, environment, and infrastructure — and on making the evaluations it supports more timely and relevant for policymakers and program designers. 3ie will track how evaluation findings are used to scale successful programs or modify failing ones. It will also pursue advocacy and outreach in low- and middle-income countries and with key development agencies to strengthen evidence-informed decision making.
for program on data privacy and protection in Africa The Africa Digital Rights Hub (ADRH) is a nonprofit think tank in Ghana that advances and promotes research and advocacy on digital rights issues across the African continent. The grant to the Africa Digital Rights’ Hub will support a research program on privacy and data protection with the aim of promoting creation and use of data protection and privacy protocols in Africa. This is important to the foundation’s goals under Evidence-Informed Policymaking because the current absence or weakness of policy and regulatory frameworks in Africa to govern use of data to balance innovation, data-driven decision making, and personal privacy is a threat to our ultimate goal — that governments use data to improve policies, programs, and outcomes for people.
for general operating support One of the most effective strategies to increase the adoption of family planning in the developing world has been to market and sell family planning products through traditional commercial channels rather than only providing them at clinics. This grant would allow DKT International, one of the largest private providers of family planning products and services globally, to continue to expand social marketing of contraceptives; social franchising of family planning and reproductive health services; and marketing of long-term methods to doctors, nurses, midwives, and consumers.

At the Summit, donors and governments pledged $4.6 billion to provide 120 million additional women with family planning information and services by the year 2020.  R4D plans refine the options for accountability mechanisms based on consultations with key stakeholders, and generate support for funding and implementation of the emerging final recommendations.
for support to civil society advocacy coalitions in West Africa IntraHealth International, Inc. facilitates the Strengthening Civil Society for Family Planning in West Africa Project from their offices in Dakar, Senegal. This grant will allow IntraHealth to implement the next phase of the project, which will deepen family planning advocacy efforts by coalitions in Senegal, Mali, Benin, Niger, and Burkina Faso. This work complements the goals of the Ouagadougou Partnership and brings together civil society advocates, religious leaders, young people, and other members of civil society to more effectively promote the provision of family planning through improved policies and strategies.
for the planning phase of a civil-society assessment of learning in Nigeria The Education Partnership Centre is a consulting firm based in Lagos, Nigeria, that designs, implements, and evaluates education programs. This grant, which is complemented by support from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, would support a pilot test of a citizen-led assessment of children’s learning in Nigeria using the ASER and Uwezo model. The Education Partnership would develop and test survey instruments, collect learning data through a household survey, and develop a strategy for communicating results to parents, communities, civil society, the private sector, and policymakers in Nigeria. The aim is to encourage action for improving children’s participation in school and learning outcomes. The Education Partnership would also develop a five-year plan for launching a national citizen-led assessment of learning.
for support of DKT's Francophone West and Central African program This grant supports DKT International’s relatively new Francophone West and Central Africa program, which is increasing private sector availability of contraceptive and safe abortion technologies. With the COVID-19 pandemic closing many clinics, private sector availability of contraceptives and safe abortion pills is increasingly important. These technologies and products are sold at a significantly lower price than products currently on the market in Francophone West and Central Africa, increasing the range of products that women can buy. Because many women in the region do not have the resources to purchase contraceptives or safe abortion products in the private sector, DKT’s program also works with governments to improve the supply of similar products in the public sector.
for Save the Children's work to help lead the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network Building on investments in aid reform work over the past six years, this grant will support Save the Children’s elevation of its leadership role in the Modernizing Foreign Assistance Network (MFAN), including the agreement of CEO and President Carolyn Miles to serve as an MFAN co-chair.  The grant will further strengthen Save’s advocacy and research capacity in two areas: foreign aid reforms that advance transparency and accountability, and  the implementation of U.S. government policies that strengthen local institutions and local ownership in developing countries.
for Dox ak sa Gox citizen participation in local governance project Y’en a Marre (“We are fed up” or “Enough is Enough”) was initiated as a popular citizen movement against injustice and inequality in Senegal in January 2011 by a collective of rappers, artists, journalists, students, intellectuals, and members of other socioprofessional groups. “Y’en a Marre” is an experienced grassroots national network working on diverse topics including citizenship, citizen participation, transparency in public affairs management, and youth and women’s leadership. It has focused on mobilizing citizens, especially young people to convince government authorities to consider the people’s priorities as their own priorities. This project grant will allow Y’en a Marre to continue building its Good Governance and Democracy Observatory, Dox ak sa Gox (walking with your community), encouraging citizen participation in local governance. It will allow grassroots civil society activists, community-based organizations, and social movements working on local governance and citizen participation to have a space for exchange with local authorities, and technical and financial partners on the progress and challenges of effective and meaningful participation of youth, women, and vulnerable groups in Senegal, through the use of social media and new media. (Strategy: Inclusive Governance)
for development of a fundraising plan focusing on public-private sector partnerships Pathfinder International recently completed a new 5-year strategic plan.. The organization's Board and current leadership are keenly aware that as Pathfinder is highly reliant on US Government funds, in its next strategic phase the organization will need to diversify its funding base a pursue new strategic partnerships for growth and sustainability..  Pathfinder additionally feels it is time to rely less on traditional philanthropy and focus on engaging with new partners, with a particular interest in developing public-private partnerships.  With these funds, Pathfinder plans to engage a team from FSG to develop an operational plan for its fund development and private sector partnership development  strategies.  FSG will conduct several sessions with Pathfinder's leadership team, field staff and Board over the next several months with the goal of applying recommendations from the Hewlett-funded "Ahead of the Curve" report to the development of these strategies.
for supporting citizen-led assessments worldwide This grant will allow Hivos to support seven organizations implementing citizen-led assessments in nine countries to improve their work and increase its visibility. Hivos will also help interested organizations in new countries to learn about and begin piloting their own work on similar assessments as a way to engage citizens in advancing an agenda for better learning outcomes.
for PATH's Reproductive Health Global Program PATH’s Reproductive Health Global Program works in more than seventy low-income countries to support better reproductive health services for women, men, and youth. This grant would fund three of the Reproductive Health Global Program’s priority activities: developing plans for an on-demand oral contraceptive, introducing a new injectable contraceptive technology called Sayana Press, and assessing the costs to the health system of restrictive abortion policies. The first two activities reflect the Global Development and Population Program’s stronger emphasis on fostering specific improvements in access to and quality of family planning services; the third reflects the Program’s interest in increasing access to safe abortion services by providing better data about abortion for policymakers.
for digital security program Oxfam America works globally to promote government and corporate transparency and create opportunities for citizens to participate in decisions about how their governments allocate and spend revenues. As a leading global advocate for greater accountability in the management of public resources, Oxfam is frequently a target for surveillance and cyber attacks by vested political and corporate interests. This grant will enable Oxfam to build a robust digital security system for internal communications and processes and equip their local partners with enhanced digital safety and security tools and practices.
for organizational restructuring For the past year, Pathfinder International has been working with external consultants to create a new operating model and organizational structure. This grant will allow Pathfinder to continuing working with consultants to tackle the next phase of improving their organization: drawing up capacity descriptions for 14 new business units and job descriptions for 60 unique positions created by the new structure. This support will also help Pathfinder’s relatively new chief executive, Lois Quam, formalize several organizational changes she hopes will make the organization more resilient in the current funding environment.
for general operating support This renewal grant would allow IMCO to continue to conduct its broadly influential national, state, and municipal competitiveness indices, which serve as tools for identifying the policy interventions that will be most effective for improving Mexico’s economic competitiveness and development. IMCO’s strategy is to present rigorous empirical data and analysis that fill information gaps; override ideological, dogmatic positions taken by Mexican power brokers; and break partisan gridlock among decisionmakers. This work fits squarely in our strategic framework—to build knowledge for development in Mexico—and is also significant for the Foundation’s interest in advancing public budget transparency and accountability there. By clearly linking competitiveness with transparency and accountability, IMCO enhances Mexico’s ability to attract investment and raise levels of per capita income and social development, and its budget transparency advocacy reaches a segment of Mexican stakeholders (the private sector and political elite) that other Foundation transparency and accountability grantees generally do not.
for general operating support The Center for Health, Human Rights and Development (CEHURD) uses research, advocacy, and strategic litigation to increase community mobilization and participation among rights holders, and transparency and accountability among policymakers toward the realization of sexual and reproductive health and rights in Uganda. As part of its new strategic plan, CEHURD will undertake capacity building with religious and cultural leaders for reproductive rights advocacy; movement building including leadership development and mentorship with peer civil society organizations; and strengthening strategic partnerships to prevent maternal mortality due to unsafe abortion.
