Since 2002, the Clinton Health Access Initiative, CHAI (formerly the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative), has been assisting developing countries in implementing large-scale, integrated HIV care, treatment, and prevention programs. Our ultimate objectives are to make high-quality HIV/AIDS and malaria care and treatment available to all who need it, and to partner with governments and other stakeholders to strengthen healthcare systems and develop sustainable strategies to overcome obstacles to scale-up.
CHAI’s Applied Analytics Team uses operations research, mathematical modeling, impact evaluations, and other analytical tools to provide the evidence needed to dramatically increase the efficiency and impact of global health interventions. Working closely with CHAI’s country teams and government partners, we address challenges faced in many resource-limited settings such as the scarcity of human resources, and the availability and distribution of drugs and commodities. We have, for example, played a critical role in driving the price of key medicines down by accurately forecasting global demand for antiretrovirals for HIV treatment and ACTs for malaria treatment. Our team has also provided Ministries of Health with the underlying analysis necessary to make policy changes to optimize the availability of health care workers.
