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 focused on large scale impact and, to date, CHAI has secured lower
pricing agreements for treatment 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.
