Population Council Research that makes a difference

Overview

The Population Council has worked in India for decades by establishing partnerships with health and social science institutions. For almost 30 years, projects were managed from offices in New York and Bangkok. In 1994, the Council opened an office in New Delhi to carry out the Asia and Near East Operations Research Program and to help implement the reproductive health and rights and feminist agendas developed at the International Conference of Population and Development that same year.

Program focus

Population Council staff in India work with the government, nongovernmental organizations, the media, and other stakeholders to improve the quality of client-centered reproductive health services, create an evidence base for adolescent programming, and address the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

The current focus in India is to (1) provide evidence to shape national policies and programs on HIV and AIDS; poverty, gender, and youth; and reproductive health, with particular attention to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals; and (2) strengthen national capacity in social science and operations research to advance the careers of the next generation of Indian professionals.
