POSITION: Reproductive Health, Program Analyst

ORGANIZATION: Packard Foundation, Global Reproductive Health Program at UC Berkeley Haas School 

The University of California, Berkeley, is one of the world’s leading institutions of higher education, distinguished by its combination of internationally recognized academic and research excellence; the transformative opportunity it provides to a large and diverse student body; its public mission and commitment to equity and social justice; and its roots in the California experience, animated by such values as innovation, questioning the status quo, and respect for the environment and nature. Since its founding in 1868, Berkeley has fueled a perpetual renaissance, generating unparalleled intellectual, economic and social value in California, the United States and the world.

About the David and Lucile Packard Foundation: The David and Lucile Packard Foundation is where the Program Analyst will work. The Packard Foundation was established in 1964. David and Lucile Packard believed that along with universities, national institutions, community groups, youth agencies, family planning centers, and hospitals, foundations constitute a great American tradition that complements government efforts to focus on society’s needs. The foundation’s mission is to work with people and communities to create enduring solutions for just societies and a healthy, resilient natural world. Through a recent strategic planning process, the foundation identified three overarching, interdependent goals to guide the Foundation’s work: Protect and Restore Our Natural World, Invest in Families and Communities, and Build Just Societies.

About the Global Reproductive Health Program: The goal of the Global Reproductive Health Initiative (Global RH) is to increase equitable access to quality reproductive health care such that quality information and services are accessible and affordable to all who need them. They focus on supporting grantees’ work on essential services such as comprehensive abortion, voluntary contraception, and adolescent sexual and reproductive health. To do this, the Global RH Initiative works strategically across the global system to center the needs of women and young people and foster supportive policy, innovation, learning, and connections that will drive change. They believe that the ability of all people to realize their reproductive health and rights is vital to achieving gender equity. Anchoring this vision are the values for how they work as a team and support their grantee partners – with humility, creativity, and care.

The Global RH Initiative sits within the Packard Foundation’s goal to “Build Just Societies”, which are key to supporting families and communities and protecting our natural world. When the institutions, structures, policies, and practices that form societies are inclusive and fair, they create conditions for more sustained progress on issues such as racial equity, reproductive rights, and a strong civil society and thriving civic space.
