The Council aims to provide evidence-based solutions to enhance the quality of life in communities, particularly for vulnerable populations. Through its research, it seeks to inform policies and programs that promote health and well-being, help manage population growth, and empower individuals, especially women, to make informed choices about their lives and families.
