Elected President of the United States in 1992, and again in 1996, President CLINTON was the first Democratic president to be elected to a second term in six decades. Under President Clinton’s leadership the United States enjoyed unprecedented peace and prosperity.

“All of us have an unprecedented amount of power to solve problems, save lives and help see the future.” President William J. Clinton

After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the William J. Clinton Foundation with the mission to strengthen the capacity of people in the United States and throughout the world to meet the challenges of global interdependence.

To achieve this, the Clinton Foundation is focused on four critical areas: health security, with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS; economic empowerment; leadership development and citizen service; and racial, ethnic and religious reconciliation.

Following the 2002 Barcelona AIDS Conference, President Clinton began the Clinton Foundation HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI) to assist countries in implementing large-scale, integrated programs for care, treatment and prevention that will turn the tide on the AIDS epidemic.

It partners with countries in Africa, the Caribbean and Asia to develop operational business plans to scale up care and treatment. CHAI works with individual governments and provides them with technical assistance, human and financial resources, and know-how from the sharing of the best practices across project

The ultimate objective in each of these countries is to scale up public health systems to ensure broad access to high-quality care and treatment. The Initiative's long-term goal is to develop replicable models for the scale-up of integrated programs in resource-poor settings.

CHAI is currently bringing life-saving care and treatment to over a quarter of a million people around the world, and more 60 countries have access to CHAI’s low negotiated drug and testing prices.

In September 2006, President Clinton hosted the second annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative, which is a nonpartisan catalyst for action, bringing together a community of global leaders to devise and implement innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges, including poverty, climate change, global health, and religious and racial conflict.

In its two years of existence, the Clinton Global Initiative has generated more than $10 billion in commitments to improve the lives of people living on six continents.
