Presentations from the 3rd Annual Meeting

Our third annual meeting was hosted by the World Bank, with the
participation of the advisory group as well as grantee representatives
from Pakistan, Ethiopia, and India. Staff from the Packard Foundation,
the Friendly Care Foundation, Commercial Market Strategies, the Johns
Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and the Carolina Population

The first day was a
