3 Why HIV/AIDS? “There are over 40 million people who are HIV-positive. It struck me that this was a problem that cried out for organization and entrepreneurial skill. And that for a relatively small amount of money, we could have a huge impact.” -President William J. Clinton AIDS is the greatest public health challenge of our time –25m people have died already, and 40m are living with HIV –Every day, 8,000 more die even though AIDS is treatable –AIDS makes economic development impossible in much of the world

4 “…in my experience the Clinton Foundation embodies all that is best in the international response. I’m impressed by how focused they are, how urgent and wondrously instantaneous is their sense of intervention. They waste no time. If you need lower drug prices negotiated, they do it that week. If you need laboratory equipment, they race to put it in place. If you want a memorandum of agreement signed, they have it done in a month instead of a year. If you need technical assistance, they ransack the planet to find the right people. They understand that the pandemic has come down to saving that child, to rescuing that mother’s future, to putting the highest value on individual lives.” -Stephen Lewis – UN AIDS Envoy Why CHAI?

5 To be effective, programs must: combine prevention, care, and treatment be integrated into public health infrastructure have strong in-country political and policy support be viewed as an emergency, not as business as usual 1)Mobilize political will (donor and host governments) 2)Combine business and clinical expertise in operational planning and ongoing implementation support 3)Change economics of care and treatment ARV treatment: 2 million people on ARVs by the end of 2008 in partner countries Philosophy Value-Add Goals CHAI works with governments and other partners to increase the availability of high quality AIDS care and treatment for people in need We accomplish this by lowering the cost of treatment, providing technical assistance where it is most needed, and establishing major initiatives to enable widespread access to HIV-related care.
