About the Speaker:

About Pierre Cremieux: Pierre Cremieux is the President and founder of the Medical Aid Committee ("MAC"), an organization dedicated to providing sustainable health programs in close collaboration with local communities and government.  The organization founded in 2008 has partnered with the Comite d'Aide Medicale in France as well as other organizations to initiate or support programs in Chad, Darfur Sudan, the Central African Republic, Sri Lanka, Angola and Haiti.  In part because of his 20 year career as an economist and statistician, he has been active in developing survey based instruments to measure the impact and cost effectiveness of programs that receive MAC's support.  As MAC expands, he hopes that its focus on supporting programs that are initiated, developed, shaped and implemented by and for local communities will become the default approach to delivering physical and mental health services as well as water and sanitation programs in developing areas
