Overview of the Sixth Annual PopPov Conference
The 6th Annual PopPov Conference was held in Accra, Ghana in January 2012. Participants presented research on population, reproductive health, and economic development; identified gaps in evidence and methods that inhibit the development of sound policies on population and economic development; and discussed examples of the influence of research on policies and how to communicate research findings to policymakers.
 
In this video, participants share their reflections on the conference, the importance of the PopPov Network and its research, and how to connect research findings to policy. More Info

To achieve the demographic dividend, it is not sufficient just to change a country's age structure through reducing fertility. There are other conditions to be fulfilled—those conditions that are the focus of the PopPov network’s research," blogged Jay Gribble, vice president of International Programs at PRB, and PopPov's project director, during the Sixth Annual PopPov Conference.
