RE: Biweekly Report for WJC

Hannah, I've made one small change. Please use this version instead. Thanks, Zayneb Biweekly Report William J. Clinton Foundation December 21, 2012 MAJOR DOMESTIC INITIATIVES Alliance for a Healthier Generation (AHG) * Kaiser Permanente has awarded the Alliance a $5.3 million grant to expand the Healthy Schools Program in six new markets. This is embargoed until the formal announcement in early 2013. * Senior Alliance team members continue to meet with the ABA, Coke, PepsiCo and Dr Pepper Snapple about expanding Alliance nutrition guidelines to afterschool programs and other child-focused settings. Clinton Health Matters Initiative (CHMI) * Mayor Steve Pougnet of Palm Springs has raised more than $200,000 to support local CHMI efforts in the Coachella Valley. The Desert Healthcare Foundation has agreed to match these finds and to administer the funds in partnership with the Foundation. * The CHMI has amassed more than 20 pledges to showcase at the Health Matters conference in January. * With the support of GE, CHMI will add Houston to its list of focus communities in early 2013. This is embargoed information. MAJOR INTERNATIONAL INITIATIVES Clinton Development Initiative (CDI) Rwanda (CHDI) * Construction of the soybean factory is 70 percent complete and is projected to be complete in June/July 2013. The boiler arrived at the site last week. From December 22 to January 2, work on the site will be put on hold for the holidays. * Regarding the AGRA project, planting is now complete and crops look good in the areas that received rains. The AGRA representative who visited the site last week was very pleased with the progress on the field and the way CHDI has set up its demos. CHDI's report for the AGRA project last semester has been sent to the AGRA headquarters. Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative (CGSGI) * CGSGI is concluding 2012 with some key accomplishments, including: o Completion of over 47,000 cataract surgeries in Peru with the 50,000 goal expected to be reached by March, 2013 and at a cost of $160/surgery, which is $40 less per surgery than the original targeted cost of $200. o Training and certification of 5,300 construction workers in Colombia, exceeding the 5,000 target. o Investment approval of two new ventures in Cartagena, Colombia including 1) creation of a Manpower Training Center that will train over 20,000 low income residents over the next ten years for jobs in the hospitality and other sectors and 2) creation of a Supply Chain Impact Enterprise for the purchase and collection of produce, fish and seafood from small vendors and producers for market and distribution to hotels, restaurants and supermarkets. This new venture will create over 1,000 jobs and impact over 4,000 beneficiaries. o Restructuring of CGSGI's strategy to achieve scalable, sustainable and measurable results in poverty reduction through the creation of supply chain impact and distribution enterprises that provide poor communities gainful access to markets. o In addition to the supply chain impact enterprise being formed in Cartagena, CGSGI is developing new projects or pilots that will lead to other potential impact enterprises including a hotel supplier network in Cusco, Peru, a small supplier network for one of Peru's largest supermarkets, and the piloting of an agro value chain opportunity in India with the prospect of benefitting 10,000 farmers. * As you know, CGSGI also hosted a successful Fair Trade summit in December along with the Skoll Foundation and the Avina Foundation. Approximately 40 stakeholders attended including representatives from corporate bodies (e.g. Green Mountain Coffee, Whole Foods, Walmart), NGOs (e.g. Heifer International, Catholic Relief Services), and beneficiaries from Rwanda, Haiti, Costa Rica, and Ecuador. The goal of the summit was to discuss the collaboration and commitments required to take Fair Trade's impact to scale. Both you and Frank Giustra participated in the Summit. Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) * An additional $1.5 billion or more has now been allocated for the AFL-CIO/AFT CGI America Commitment by New York City public employee pension funds. The funds making these additional allocations represent the NYC Local of the Teamsters, AFSCME, and Transportation Workers Union as well as the Firefighters and Police. This should bring the total raised for the entire commitment well above $4 billion out of the $10 billion original commitment. This follows up on your announcement in a press conference last week of a $1 billion allocation to new investments in infrastructure projects. * On Friday, December 14, as part of the year-round programming in the Response and Resilience Track, CGI held a convening to discuss where collaboration is most needed as we transition from immediate response to reconstruction post Hurricane Sandy. Mayor Mitch Landrieu of New Orleans shared lessons learned from Hurricane Katrina. John Liu, Comptroller of the City of New York, and other federal, state and city government officials from New Jersey and New York along with more than 40 CGI members attended. Zayneb K.
