20th century intelligence - ending poverty of half world without electricity -although Keynes 1936 (last capter general theiry money inetrest emplymen) asked Economists to take hipocrati oath as the profession that ended extreme poverty, most economists did the opposite. Whats not understandable is how educatirs failed to catalogue the lessons of the handful who bottom-up empowered vilages to collaboratively end poverty. There are mainly 2 inteligences to understand- Borlaug on food; fazle abed on everything that raised life expectancy in tropical viage asia from low 40s to 60s (about 7 below norm of living with electricity and telecomes). Between 1972 and 2001, Abed's lessons catalogued in this mooc had largelu built the nation of Bangladesh and been replicated with help of Unicef's James Grant acroo most tropical asian areas. What's exciting is the valley's mr ad mrs steve jobs invted Fazle Abed to share inteligences 2001 at his 65th birthday party. The Jobs and frineds promised to integrate abed's inteligence into neighborhod university stanfrd which in any event wanted Jobs next great leap the iphone. The Valley told abed to start a university so that women graduates from poor and rich nations could blend inteligence as Abed's bottom of the pyramid vilage began their journey of leapfrog modles now that gridd infarstructures were ni longer needed for sdiar and mobile. Abed could also help redesign the millennium goals which were being greenwashed into a shared worldwide system coding frame by 2016. There re at Abed's 80th birtday party , the easy bitwas checking this mooc was uptodate. The hard bit - what did Abed mean by his wish to headhunt a taiwanese american to head the university's 3rd decade starting 2020?

3.4 how did global fund asemble through 2000s to combat tb, aids and malaria

 Global Fund  3.4 end tuberculosis, aids, malaria

this summary comes mainly from briefings jim kim gave at youth summits and the first change the world mooc during the first 18 months of his appointment to world bank by obama in 2012

any errors are mine alone chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk washington dc region MA Statistics DAMPT Csambridge

around 1987, 3 uniquely energetic graduates passionate about health service in world's poorest communities  came together in boston and formed pih.org - the only homegrown/youth=organised network which placed harvard medical students in poorest rural haiti and later nations like peru; two of these students graduated in anthropology and decided that franciscan values of servant leadership were what they wanted to apply; paul farmer had led explorations haiti the year after graduation with his friend wellesley graduate  ophelia dahl daughter of oxfords best selling author; jim kim was the other graduate studying anthropology of med at harvard the son of korean immigrants - life story at this world bank tedx; 

in boston the friends stayed with a franciscan monk originally from peru; jim kim in particular became energised abut ending tuberculosis there; 

by 2003 paul farmer had rightly become famous in books like mountains beyond mountains; 

jim kim was helping mobilise intellectually disruptive tactics including close the world bank- he connected  the most concerned stakeholders in poverty 3 worldwide health crises tb aids and malara and demanded a global fund which was perhaps the one thing that both clinton global and george busg agreed on by 2005; meanwhile kim discovered to his surprise that the worlds most effective end tb networks were brac's women in bangladesh he shared his knowledge with gates and soros who had asked farmer/kim would they help en tb in dissident russoa prisons if he soros funded that; so by 2005 the global fund was formally celebrated and while all of the above deserve congratulations it was abed-asian womens empowerment networks who had scaled the most effective tb models

you can see abed awarded gates global health prize ang both gates and soros viits tobangladesh villages 2005-6

its certainly true that each side gained from the collaboration - for example clintons and others helped: farmer build 2 world class teaching hospitals in haiti and rwands; jim kim was appointed to lead world bank in 2012; soros in helping launch brac usa 2007 talked of abed being just about the only ngo leader who scaled with the least, and all the digital wizards of banking for the poor including mpesa's nick hughes , bill gates, mit quadir/legatum, and abed to develop the world's most populous cashless bank for the poor www.bkash.com -

but would this have happened without the energy of youth's most determined health workers and movements empowering billion asian women?- over to you to debate
