On 19 November, the 4DSeries “Dialogues on Demographic Diversity and Dividends” started with its first Government-Government Policy Dialogue on "Data for Demographic Dividend(s)". We were asked to provide the event with an exclusive “food for thought”-paper, which was circulated in advance for the attending experts and participants. The Berlin Institute is very pleased to take part in this series together with UNFPA, African Union, Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development as well as Federal Foreign Office and is looking forward to the forthcoming events.

„In my work on population policies worldwide and on the demography of sub-Saharan Africa, I use regularly the publications of the Berlin Institute for Population and Development. They focus on key issues and they are well-crafted and scientifically sound. Most importantly, these publications greatly help me to communicate complex issues in a clear and accessible way.“
