U.S.

International
Program: Global Security and Sustainability
The Program on Global Security and Sustainability seeks
to protect the security and well-being of people and the environment around the
world. To meet these broad objectives, the international program focuses on
several areas of concern. The Foundation works to encourage peace within and among
countries, conserve global biological diversity,
support responsible reproductive choices and
reduction of maternal mortality, and protect human rights and strengthen the system of international
justice. The Foundation funds work in about 60 countries, with
special emphasis on four important countries in different regions of the
world: India, Mexico, Nigeria, and Russia.
During the past year, MacArthur has deepened its investment in several critical
areas of international grantmaking. These include strengthening police reform
and accountability in Nigeria, Mexico, and Russia; supporting the International
Criminal Court and regional human rights courts; reducing the spread of nuclear
weapons and materials by promoting greater security for nuclear materials and
technology; preserving biodiversity in key biological “hotspots” around the
world; and strengthening universities and academic infrastructure, especially
in Russia and Nigeria.
The Foundation encourages work that recognizes the interactions among its key
global concerns. We have also launched an initiative on Global Migration and Human Mobility. The
initiative makes grants to institutions engaged in international migration
research and policy analysis, with emphasis on international governance issues
and the relation between migration and economic development.
