How to Get Involved

Each Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) member creates a Commitment to Action--a concrete plan to address a major global challenge. MSH is actively seeking partners and funders to join us in our commitment to Scaling up Community Access to Quality Medicines and Care. Organizations and private companies are invited to consider involvement through the key areas and activities listed on this page. Commitments can be small or large, global or local. A multinational corporation might pledge to reduce its packaging--saving money while reducing waste. A nonprofit might seek to expand an effective program into new geographies. No matter their size or scope, commitments help CGI members translate practical goals into meaningful and measurable results. For more information, contact MSH at communications@msh.org.
