An Evolving Record of Project Funding
So far, USAID has funded PHE programs with a variety of partners, including Conservation International in Madagascar, the Philippines and Cambodia; the World Wildlife Fund-US in Madagascar, Kenya and the Philippines; and the Jane Goodall Institute in its efforts to save some of the last of the world’s remaining chimpanzees in the Gombe Stream National Park in Tanzania and in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The agency is currently working with several other conservation and health partners to develop systems that better document the results of such efforts and disseminate them to policymakers, practitioners and donors.Support is streaming from what some might think an unlikely source for population and environmental balance – the United States government – for an approach to conservation and development that some might find just as unlikely: combining reproductive health with natural resource management. Organizations working in this arena may contact Heather D'Agnes at the following e-mail address as a first step to learn more about USAID’s PHE program: <hdagnes@usaid.gov>. In addition, USAID's clearinghouse of information about past and current programming in PHE, lessons learned, and other important information is available at http://www.ehproject.org/ehkm/phe.html
