Abstract

The Population Council leads the Baobab Research Programme Consortium in partnership with Population Council Kenya and the African Population and Health Research Center. Situated in the East and Horn of Africa, this Africa-based and African-led consortium focuses on filling critical evidence gaps and fostering evidence use.

For nearly a decade, the Council has worked in refugee settings to strengthen Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) programming, providing research and technical support to UNHCR and its implementing partners through a technical cooperation agreement with the UNHCR Regional Bureau for the East and Horn of Africa and Great Lakes region. Building on this long-standing collaboration, the Baobab consortium is bringing selected, rigorous SRHR surveys into refugee settings in Uganda and Ethiopia for the first time. These large-scale surveys on violence against children and adolescents, unsafe abortion, and unintended pregnancy draw upon existing robust, well-regarded, and well-known global tools.
