The Population Council (PC) is an international nonprofit that generates ideas, produces evidence, and designs solutions to improve people’s lives. PC’s research advances global goals related to climate justice, sexual and reproductive health and choices, adolescent empowerment, and gender equality. This awards addresses climate-induced migration within India and globally by promoting equity, resilience, and a just energy transition. It utilizes a diverse consortium and a technical advisory committee to guide research activities and ensures that the resulting evidence informs policy and programming. PC takes a top-down approach by utilizing complex methods to analyze statistical overlaps between climate change and migration, and a bottom-up approach by conducting targeted case studies to understand the drivers, mechanisms, and outcomes of climate-induced migration in India.

Founded in 1952, Population Council is a global organization that has had an office in Nigeria since the 1960s. The Council has been instrumental in the design of reproductive health products (especially contraceptives), service delivery programs, and making public policies responsive to the reproductive health needs of people in developing countries, including Nigeria. Through a previous Foundation award, Population Council trained and mentored health care providers in Kano state on the early detection and treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia using magnesium sulfate and piloted task-shifting to community health extension workers. Population Council is currently working in Katsina state with Foundation support to replicate the successes achieved in Kano state. In this project the organization is working to institutionalize the applications of magnesium sulfate for the treatment of pre-eclampsia and eclampsia in Kano and Katsina states.
