WHGI Global Programs

At the William H. Gates Sr. Institute for Population and Reproductive Health (WHGI), we organize our work around six interconnected Global Programs that serve as the Institute’s core areas of focus:

  • Research, Measurement, & Data Monitoring;
  • Demographic Futures, Population, & Environment;
  • Policy, Advocacy, & Community-Building;
  • Next Generation Leaders;
  • Best Practices Scale Up; and
  • Gender Equity.

Together, these Global Programs bring together research, implementation, community building, and training to support locally led, evidence-based work around the world. Explore each area of work below.
