Clinton Global Initiative announces 51 New Commitments "that will improve the lives of 2.7 Million Americans"
During the Clinton Global Initiative's (CGI) America meeting, CGI announced 51 new projects that will create jobs and spur economic growth in the U.S.. On the final day of the conference, former President Clinton discussed the impact that these commitments will have when fully funded and implemented. Clinton said, "[the] 51 commitments will improve the lives of 2.7 million people in the United States." These commitments also should create or fill more than 124,000 jobs, provide more than 364,000 people with access to job training and support entrepreneurs with $265 million in investments or loans. The former president hopes that these projects "will inspire others to take action to revitalize their own communities." The CGI America conference focused exclusively on the U.S. and brought together over more than 750 leaders from businesses, nonprofits and all levels of government to generate new ideas for spurring economic growth and highlighting existing programs.
