Overview:
Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the
Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization
committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and
expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other
illnesses. Based on the premise that business oriented strategy can facilitate
solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new
resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via
improved organization of commodity markets and more effective local management.
By working in association with governments and other NGO partners, CHAI is

By working in association with governments and other NGO partners, CHAI is
focused on large scale impact and, to date, CHAI has secured lower pricing
agreements for treatm
ent options in more than 70 countries. In addition, CHAI’s
teams are working side-by-side with over 30 governments to tackle many of the
largest barriers to effective treatment and care.
CHAI’s New
Initiatives team is focused on launching new programs that will have a
transformative impact on health outcomes in our partner countries. Within the
New Initiatives team, CHAI has launched two new programs in nutrition and
maternal and neonate health, undertaking a multi-country effort to help
governments rapidly reduce the incidence of chronic malnutrition, or stunting,
in children under five; and scaling up programs to dramatically reduce maternal
and neonatal deaths.

CHAI’s
nutrition program is partnering with Ministries of Health and Agriculture to
establish programs that fill dietary gaps during early development: improving
the nutritional status of pregnant and lactating women; encouraging exclusive
breastfeeding in the first six months of life; and promoting nutrient-dense
complementary foods, alongside continued breastfeeding, for children from six
months to two years of age. Since most households lack year-round access to
sufficiently nutritious foods, CHAI is working with governments and private
partners to develop a suite of nutritious products for infants and young
children and for pregnant and lactating women that is produced locally, based
primarily on local agricultural products, and aligned with local eating habits.
To ensure sustainability, complementary nutritious foods will be produced
affordably and promote the economic development of rural populations, where
livelihoods rely heavily on smallholder farming.
