At the 2014 PopPov Conference in Nairobi, Kenya, Susan Rich, vice president of International Programs at the Population Reference Bureau, interviewed Jotham Musinguzi, regional director of the Partners in Population and Development Africa Regional Office. Having attended seven PopPov research meetings, Musinguzi shares his perspective on findings that have emerged from the PopPov initiative and the role of researchers in communicating their findings to policymakers. He specifically discusses the demographic dividend and emphasizes the importance of dialogue between researchers and policymakers, ideally when the research project is conceptualized.
