What's in a Name?

Summary


The Clinton Foundation: Opened in 1997, the foundation is a global organisation mandated to fight against poverty, Aids and climate change. Its aims are to match wealthy donors with needy projects, and claims successes such as getting drug companies to sell cut-price Aids medicines to Third World countries. Critics say much of the foundation's claimed successes are piggybacking on the efforts of others, such as the Aids drugs which drug companies had already planned to offer at cut price before the foundation took the credit. It has also been challenged over its refusal to name many of its backers.

The Clinton Global Initiative: An annual festival dedicated to rewarding good works, the Initiative, launched in 2005, attracts more than 1,000 participants, the majority from the world of commerce, who pledge to carry out specific projects to help the needy.
