He also serves as Chair and CEO of The Population Institute in Washington, DC (www.populationinstitute.org), which works in partnership with Population Media Center. In developing countries, PMC creates long-running serialized dramas on radio and television, in which characters evolve into role models for the audience resulting in positive behavior change.
