Brown Journal of World Affairs: Can you give us a basic overview of the Clinton Foundation’s initiatives?
Ira Magaziner: The Clinton Foundation has a couple of different pieces. It has its activities in Little Rock, which are the Presidential Library and the School of Public Policy at the University of Arkansas. It has the president’s staff in Harlem. Then it has an affiliated activity, the Clinton Global Initiative, which is an annual conference held in New York and includes a spin-off conference called the Clinton Global Initiative University held at a university each year. Both conferences encourage people to donate to various NGOs and other charitable activities participating in the Initiative. The biggest part of the Foundation includes four operating initiatives, accounting for about 90 percent of the Clinton Foundation budget, all of which I started and run. First, there is the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative (CHAI), which is currently on the ground in over 30 countries and is the oldest Clinton Foundation initiative. We help to combat AIDS, to build health systems in resource-poor countries, and more recently to fight malaria. We have negotiated agreements that have significantly lowered the prices of AIDS and malaria drugs and AIDS tests, and we are leaders in AIDS treatment for children and in rural areas. Second, we started the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, which is a domestic initiative partnered with the American Heart Association.
