Overview

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, Ebola, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis.

Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are also investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing.

With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication, and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skill sets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with the majority of our staff based in program countries.

The CHAI Market Shaping Team (MST) is responsible for envisioning, executing, and monitoring market shaping interventions aimed at improving access to health commodities for LMICs. MST shapes markets across the full product continuum, from R&D and regulatory strategy through manufacturing, procurement, and country introduction, adoption and scale-up. Interventions include target product profile development, pooled procurement, demand forecasting, negotiation of access terms, and supply chain optimization.

Where a specific barrier requires it, CHAI structures risk-sharing instruments — advance market commitments, volume guarantees, product subsidies, procurement and payment guarantees, and working capital facilities — matched to that barrier and stage of the product lifecycle. Equally, MST works on the demand-side to convert improved access terms into uptake, partnering with governments and country teams to build the evidence and policy case for adoption, secure guideline inclusion and financing, plan product introduction and scale-up, and strengthen the workforce, supply chain, and service delivery capacity needed to reach patients.

This work also generates the demand signals and volume forecasts that underpin MST's supply-side negotiations.

MST collaborates closely with internal and external stakeholders to maximize the public health impact of a proposed intervention and ensure alignment with…
