LUSAKA, ZAMBIA
Around the world, the Population Council responds to the challenges faced by people living in
poverty and delivers solutions that work. In Zambia, where we recently expanded our activities,
results from our research have shaped national policy and community-based responses to sexual
and gender-based violence (front cover). And we are improving adolescent girls’ well-being by
evaluating programs that provide them with safe spaces to learn and develop social networks and
by encouraging our partners to expand successful approaches (this page).

THE POPULATION COUNCIL
ACHIEVES GLOBAL RESULTS,
GIVING VOICE AND VISIBILITY TO THE
WORLD’S MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE.
WE INCREASE AWARENESS OF THE
PROBLEMS THEY FACE AND OFFER
SOLUTIONS SUSTAINED BY SOLID EVIDENCE.
OUR COUNTRY-BASED APPROACH
FOCUSES ON THE NEEDS AND
PRIORITIES OF LOCAL POPULATIONS
AND HAS GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS.
PROJECTS IN ONE COUNTRY ARE
OFTEN EXPANDED REGIONALLY OR
ADAPTED TO MEET SIMILAR CHALLENGES
IN DIFFERENT SETTINGS.
WORK SINCE 1952
OFFICES IN 16 COUNTRIES
PROGRAMS IN 49 COUNTRIES
We work in developing countries, where governments and civil society
organizations seek our help to understand and overcome obstacles to health
and development that limit people’s potential. And we work in developed
countries, where we use state-of-the-art biomedical science to develop new
contraceptives and products to prevent the transmission of HIV.
In this year’s annual report, we take you to some of the areas where we are
making the biggest strides: Ethiopia, India, Kenya, and Guatemala and Mexico.
We illustrate how our work in these countries has changed the way people
think about critical health and development issues, leading to more effective
policies, programs, and technologies that enable people to live healthier, more
productive lives.

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE
AMONG THE BEST THINGS ABOUT BEING PRESIDENT
OF THE POPULATION COUNCIL IS VISITING OUR
INTERNATIONAL OFFICES AND SEEING FIRSTHAND
THE WORK THAT IS BEING DONE.
Reviewing a project is always informative and often
inspiring. I am constantly impressed by the energy,
experience, commitment, and professional skills of my
colleagues at the Council.
With a staff of 88 and an annual budget exceeding
$9 million, our office in Islamabad is our largest outside
the United States, and is of special interest to me and
to our board of trustees because of Pakistan’s fragile
security situation. Several years ago when the Marriott
Hotel was bombed, furniture crashed to the floor and
windows shattered in the Council’s office, which is 500
yards from the hotel. On many of Islamabad’s larger
streets, Jersey walls are set up in slalom-like fashion to
slow traffic and make it easier for the police and the
military to monitor travelers. The security concerns are
2
POPULATION COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT 2010
also apparent at hotels and government offices, where
visitors have to pass through metal detectors (albeit
often lackadaisically managed) to enter.
My colleagues seem unfazed by what I think
are the serious risks they face. Many staff members
have advanced degrees from foreign universities and
international reputations that would allow them to find
good professional employment outside of Pakistan. But
they stay, committed to the work.
When I visited her office, Zeba Sathar, the Council’s
country director in Pakistan, told me, “Our work never
stops because of any danger. We are willing to work in
the most difficult of circumstances. That applies to the
staff in all the country offices, whether it’s political turmoil
we are facing or the heat of working on sensitive topics.”
In Pakistan one of our most influential projects, the
USAID-funded Family Advancement for Life and Health
(FALAH), is based on research demonstrating that short
birth intervals increase maternal and child morbidity
and mortality. If women in Pakistan were better able to
plan their families, the reduction in maternal and child
mortality would be substantial. FALAH promotes birth
spacing and family planning as a means to healthier
mothers and children. Between 2007 and 2010, FALAH
reached 7.4 million Pakistani men and women with
information about family planning and reproductive
health, trained more than 22,000 family planning and
reproductive health service providers, and ensured that
more than 11,500 service delivery locations provide
family planning counseling and services. The project
has been extremely effective and influential. Pakistan’s
Ministry of Health has endorsed birth spacing for saving
lives as a key health strategy.
Substantial changes in the bureaucratic environment
and in funding have occurred in Pakistan since the start
of FALAH. The government dissolved the Ministry of
Population and Family Welfare, which had been the
national coordinating body for population and family
planning activities. The devolution of responsibilities
to provincial governments, characteristic of many
developing countries, has led to new partnerships with
provincial departments and more requests for the
Council to help local authorities gain the skills needed to
implement and evaluate programs.
These changes in policy are the latest transitions that
the Council has experienced in Pakistan. Our long-term
perspective makes these changes easier to accept. We
tackle problems that we know cannot be solved quickly,
and we establish long-lasting partnerships to address
difficult issues. We have worked with the government
of Pakistan and with local NGOs since the 1960s, and
we are committed to continuing our collaboration. In
Pakistan and elsewhere, our goal is to educate ourselves,
our scientific peers, the donor community, service
providers, as well as local and international policymakers
and program managers about consequential population,
health, and development issues, and to use our technical
expertise to assist local institutions in the smooth
introduction of successful and sustainable programs that
serve large populations.
As you read this report, you will learn about our
efforts to translate research results into policies and
programs with wider coverage, better quality, and
greater cost-effectiveness. You will learn about Ethiopia,
where we are studying ways to empower married
adolescent girls; India, where we are providing the
evidence needed to save women’s lives by making
safe abortion more accessible; Kenya, where we are
examining ways to integrate alcohol abuse reduction into
HIV counseling; Guatemala, where we are strengthening
social institutions to serve vulnerable girls; and Mexico,
where we are learning how to overcome barriers to
safe childbirth.
The work underway around the world is a remarkable
testimony to the values shared by staff throughout
the Council. The accountant in Cairo, the researcher at
our Center for Biomedical Research, and the driver in
Kenya share a common view that our work is important
because the people we serve are important and because
we are clearly having an enormous positive impact.
FALAH and the other projects described in this
report highlight the balance we seek between generating
new knowledge and applying that knowledge to guide
investments of scarce resources. Respecting local
cultures and conditions, the Council delivers solutions
that change the way people think about policies,
programs, and technologies that improve lives. The
Council has been able to deliver these solutions because
we’ve had the independence to pursue new ideas.
Generous contributors give us the flexibility to establish
trends rather than follow them. Without their help, the
successful outcomes described in this report could not
have taken place. We are grateful for this support and
encouragement.

HIV PREVENTION
Empowering married adolescent girls to protect them from HIV
Child marriage is common in rural Amhara, Ethiopia. Here, the Population Council assists local
agencies in conducting Meserete Hiwot (Base of Life), a project in which married adolescent girls meet
to learn about gender-based violence, HIV and AIDS, spousal communication, and financial literacy. This
project is designed to support girls who are already married and help them foster better-informed, healthy,
and gender-equitable family relationships.

Engaging religious institutions to improve public health
The Population Council helped to create a “Developmental Bible,” incorporating information about HIV and
AIDS, reproductive health, and gender equity into the daily teachings of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.
About half of Ethiopia’s population is Orthodox Christian. The Developmental Bible has the potential to
encourage individuals and communities to abandon harmful practices and to adopt healthy lifestyles. This
grassroots approach is bringing essential health messages to one of Ethiopia’s largest communities.

CHILD MARRIAGE
Increasing the age at marriage in child marriage “hotspots”
Child marriage violates girls’ human rights by excluding them from decisions regarding the timing of
marriage and choice of spouse. In 2010, we began an investigation in Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda
to determine the essential elements—such as mentors, community awareness-raising, and economic
incentives—of effective, sustainable, and replicable approaches to increasing the age at marriage where
child marriage is common. The Population Council is one of the few organizations in sub-Saharan Africa
whose programs, in collaboration with local partners, have produced significant delays in marriage and
increases in school enrollment among girls aged 10 to 14.

Understanding the lives of young Indians
In 2010, the Population Council concluded a massive survey of more than 50,000 young people in India.
The landmark study collected data on such diverse topics as time use, sexuality and childbearing, and civic
engagement. The findings are “deeply informative and thought-provoking,” said Amartya Sen, the Nobel
Prize–winning economist, and “can serve as the basis of a necessary understanding of the lives of young
people in India.” Program planners and policymakers at the state level have begun to use this valuable
information in designing their work.

Raising HIV awareness among non-infected wives in India
The Population Council is implementing and assessing RHANI Wives, an HIV-prevention project in Mumbai
for at-risk married women—those who report that their husbands abuse alcohol or perpetrate partner
violence. Early results show high program acceptability and ability to negotiate with husbands on safe
behaviors. While some women reported feeling ashamed to discuss alcohol, sex, and marital violence in a
group setting, they appreciated group support to reduce isolation and encourage self-assertion.

REDUCING UNSAFE ABORTION
Assessing nurses’ ability to provide safe, early abortion
In two carefully conducted trials in India, Population Council investigators found that nurses can
perform early abortions as effectively and safely as newly trained physicians, and that clients reported
overwhelmingly that they would return to a nurse if the need arose. This evidence supports advocacy to
change laws to permit nurses to perform these procedures. Such a step could save lives by making safe,
early abortion more accessible.

FINANCIAL LITERACY/LIVELIHOODS
Financially empowering thousands of girls
As of 2010, more than 3,000 girls from urban Kenya and Uganda participate in the Population Council’s Safe
and Smart Savings programs, conducted in partnership with local financial institutions. The girls meet weekly
in groups led by female mentors, receive health and financial education, and open formal savings accounts.
“This idea of savings has come into my blood. I was not saving in the first place, but now I’m thinking about
tomorrow,” reported one girls’ group member, age 18. Evaluations have shown that girls in the program
have fewer gender biases, more savings, and increased knowledge of sexual and reproductive health topics.
Expansion of the program will be facilitated by the extensive branch networks of the partner banks.

Improving reproductive health service delivery
In East Africa and South Asia, the Population Council is studying the impact of voucher programs, which
are used by the poorest of the poor to obtain high-quality reproductive health care. Preliminary results
from Bangladesh, Kenya, and Uganda indicate that the voucher programs are associated with significantly
increased use of antenatal, delivery, and postpartum contraceptive services and a reduced likelihood of
paying out-of-pocket, improving care and keeping money in the hands of desperately poor women.

women living with HIV. We found that most women received neither routine HIV tests during pregnancy
nor counseling on contraceptive methods and pregnancy options. “I told the doctor that really I want to
have the baby and there was no need to insist that I get an abortion, and he said not to count on him for
support,” reported one 31-year-old HIV-positive woman. In 2010, the Council organized a meeting of HIVpositive women and national and international health care professionals, starting a dialogue and outlining
ways to improve care.

SAFE PREGNANCY: ANTENATAL AND DELIVERY CARE
Overcoming barriers to treating a common pregnancy complication
In Mexico and many other developing countries, the most common—yet treatable—causes of maternal
death are severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia. Although magnesium sulfate is a safe, effective, and
inexpensive treatment, the Population Council has shown that in some Oaxaca hospitals, it is used
inconsistently and incorrectly. Our investigators are documenting such practices and will work with local
health officials to improve service delivery. A Council study in Nigeria demonstrated the impact such
improvements could have. Introducing magnesium sulfate in Nigeria reduced maternal mortality by
40 percent across project sites.

costs of care.
Achieving our ambitious mission is only possible
in partnership with governments, universities,
foundations, public and private health networks,
hospitals, research centers, nongovernmental
organizations, and individuals from around the
world.
STRENGTHENING RESOURCES
The Population Council helps to improve the
research capacity of reproductive and population
scientists in developing countries through grants,
fellowships, and the support of research centers.
More well-qualified professionals are needed
throughout the developing world to address
population, health, and development issues. The
Population Council’s fellowship programs have
helped advance the careers of thousands of
social and biomedical scientists, public health
researchers, and program managers, many of
whom have gone on to hold leadership positions.
In 2010, we supported more than 30 fellows.
We offer workshops and teach courses for
local institutions, donors, and governmental and
nongovernmental agencies. Investments in training
and strengthening capacity improve reproductive
health and family planning programs and policies.
Our staff members have created research tools
and information technologies to facilitate research,
policy development, and program improvement.

distinguished scholar john bongaarts
and his colleague Mead Over that found that
universal access to treatment for HIV is financially
unsustainable. “The international community is
ethically obliged to spend foreign aid funds and
allocate health care resources as cost-effectively
as possible.” Donors are urged to allocate a higher
proportion of their HIV funding to developing
better prevention methods.

2010 FINANCIAL REPORT
The following pages summarize the Population Council’s
financial activities for 2010, a year of successful program
implementation supported by strong fundraising efforts.
The Council was awarded $47 million in new grants, an increase of $8 million over 2009. Conditional funding
commitments increased from $20 million in 2009 to almost $51 million in 2010. These conditional funding
commitments will be recorded as revenue in 2011 and subsequent years as programs are carried out. The pie charts
below provide additional information on the sources and uses of our funding.
Program spending totaled $77 million, which represents 86 percent of our 2010 total operating expenses. This
means that the Council invests 86 cents of every dollar in research and programmatic activities.
The Council introduced a new accounting software system in its international offices. We anticipate that the new
software will increase efficiency, enhance timely reporting of financial activities, and further reduce administrative
costs.
In February 2010, the Council signed a licensing agreement with Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., granting them
the North American rights to the contraceptive vaginal ring. This agreement led to a 48 percent increase in the
Council’s royalty income for 2010.
Board-designated unrestricted funds provide the Council with a stable financial base from which to respond to
requests for assistance and collaboration. In 2010, the Council’s investments, including the John D. Rockefeller 3rd
Memorial Fund, enjoyed a healthy return despite the stock market declines in 2008 and 2009.
We closely monitor the Council’s financial condition and remain committed to the fiscal discipline necessary
to maintain our record of accomplishments. Readers interested in learning more about the Council’s finances can
consult our website (http://www.popcouncil.org/who/financials.asp).
I would be pleased to answer any questions and can be reached at [email protected].

RURAL UPPER EGYPT
In rural Upper Egypt, the Population Council’s Ishraq project brings out-of-school adolescent girls
into safe learning spaces. The 24-month program improves functional and financial literacy and
life skills, and allows girls to play sports, an opportunity not usually available to them. The project
components work together to provide girls with new and valued skills and to increase their selfesteem and confidence. “Ishraq fulfilled our dreams to be educated and respected by our families and
our communities,” said one participant.
