Former US President Bill Clinton is expected in the country on Friday to assess firsthand the performance of projects run by his foundation, his group and the US embassy in Kampala confirmed last evening.

This newspaper understands that Mr Clinton, who last visited Uganda in March, 1998 while the sitting US President, will be flying in from Rwanda, which is the other African country on his itinerary beside South Africa and Mozambique.

“[The] former US President Bill Clinton is in Africa to visit Clinton Foundation and Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) programmes,” said Ms Elise Crane, the acting embassy spokesperson.

The Foundation’s programmes on the continent, according to information on its website, promote sustainable development for families and communities, strengthening health systems and expanding access to treatments, addressing climate change, and turning ideas into action by implementing commitments.

It emerged yesterday that while in Uganda, Mr Clinton, husband to US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham, will visit a CGI Building Tomorrow Academy to confer with students and teachers.

Officials say that the former President will on Friday afternoon travel to a Clinton Health Access Initiative, better known by the acronym CHAI, at the National Medical Store and Prescription Distribution Center in Entebbe.

“There he will tour the facility, participate in a roundtable event, and deliver remarks,” reads a July 14 message announcing the visit. An advisory on the Foundation’s website shows all of Clinton’s events in Uganda will be open to the media.

The Voice of America reported that Mr Clinton, while in South Africa, where cheaper anti-retroviral drugs negotiated by his foundation have helped reduce HIV/Aids deaths, said:
"South Africa has probably saved more lives by drastically increasing treatment for AIDS in the last year-and–a-half than any country ever has in a similar amount of time."

The Thabo Mbeki-led government was reluctant to accept any link between HIV and Aids, and the lack of adherence to preventive methods made infection rates soar in South Africa until a policy U-turn by the success Jacob Zuma government resulted in progress.

"So everybody knows that for years they had a government that did not believe in doing what needed to be done; now they are in overdrive, VoA quoted Mr Clinton as having said, “These are the kinds of things that we need to do. It gives people hope. It gives people a sense of progress."

In Rwanda, the former President will attend the opening of the Butaro Cancer Center of Excellence, created through a CGI commitment by the Jeff Gordon Children’s Foundation and Partners in Health.

The Clinton Foundation says its multi-million dollar projects have helped reduce prices by up to 90 percent for key HIV drugs, enabling 4 million people in Africa gain access to lifesaving antiretroviral medications.

Utility
President Clinton first visited Africa in 1998, and has continued to build upon his longstanding commitment to Africa through the work of his Foundation by providing investment and opportunity to underserved communities. The Clinton Global Initiative members have made 759 of their own commitments with an estimated value of over $27.8 billion, focused on working to build a better future across the continent.
