Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative Overview
The Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative assists countries in implementing large-scale, integrated care, treatment, and prevention programs to turn the tide on the AIDS epidemic. We partner with governments in developing countries to develop operational business plans to scale-up HIV/AIDS care and treatment. The Foundation is currently active in Africa, the Caribbean and Asia. The host governments take overall responsibility for the programs; the Foundation provides technical assistance, mobilizes human and financial resources, and facilitates the sharing of best practices across projects. The ultimate objective in each of these countries is to make high-quality HIV/AIDS care and treatment available to all who need it, and to develop replicable models for large-scale programs in other resource-poor settings.
Specifically, the Foundation provides technical assistance to governments in areas such as setting care protocols, training of health professionals, procuring and distributing medicines, upgrading laboratories, establishing effective patient information and measurement & evaluation systems, and overall program management.
