- This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Jim talks about his vision of transformation for development, drawing on his personal experience as an activist and an AIDs researcher. He shares why ending poverty is possible in our lifetimes and concludes that the poor will not always be with us.
Jim Yong Kim, M.D., Ph.D. is the President of the World Bank Group. Soon after he became president in July 2012, the organization established two goals: ending extreme poverty
by 2030 and boosting shared prosperity for the bottom 40 percent of the population in developing countries. Kim’s career has been focused on health, education, and delivering services to the poor. Before joining the World Bank, he served as Presi- dent of Dartmouth College and held professorships at Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health. From 2003-2005, as Director of the World Health Organization’s HIV/AIDS Department, he led the “3 by 5” initiative, the first-ev- er global goal for AIDS treatment, which helped to expand AIDS treatment in developing countries. In 1987, Kim co-founded Partners In Health, a non-profit medical organization now working in poor communities on four continents. Trained as
a physician and an anthropologist, he has received several awards, including a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, and rec- ognitions such as one of America’s “25 Best Leaders” by U.S. News & World Report, and in 2006 TIME magazine named him as one of its “100 Most Influential People in the World.”
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
Thank you Jim for making this world a better place.
You can do more.
And we can do more than Mr. Kim.
What an amazing presentation. Very inspiring and result oriented.
I love the idea about roads, this could brings more outcomes than giving each poorest household cash and treatment. Infrastructure can make the poorest to be accessible and could bring more than you can imagine. Some illness can be cured by being accessed to infrastructure and education. Thank you for nice idea and awareness about changing the world to be the better place.
Thank you Dr. Kim for your inspired, hard work.
Felicitaciones a la loable acción de las personas que dieron todo a sus pacientes desinteresadamente un abrazo a cada uno ellos
Hello brother, how are you and your family doing today?
Happy New year.
where can I find the transcript?
"In Haiti and peru in the prisons of siberia... in Africa" because we are just one big country *sigh*.
I think the poorest people would benefit more from skills transfer rather than just treatment.
He, along with Dr Paul Farmer, put in place the facilities for locals to attain jobs, be trained in healthcare and for children to be educated in Haiti. He agrees with you. But treating the poorest is just as important as that. They go hand-in-hand I'd say.
world bank must help poor people...
Doesn't work for me
nd helps poor countries
Who is with me, thinking this is merely a marketing tactic to help the image of the world bank? I beleive this guy is a good man, in the sence that he doesnt want to directly harm people but simultaniously being aware that he is just a prety flower fed by a pile of sleazy manuer
+Halsdas Yes it is easy to imagine that this were true, the World Bank being analogous to the Iron Bank of Braavos, where primarily decisions are made based on return of investments. However, I would encourage you to look beyond the cynicism of others and more into your own actions. What can you do to put yourself in a position where you can make a difference in the world?

+Halsdas People like you are called a “hypocrite” by people like“Willow Grass” above.
Learn more from Joe & Tim.
why would you call me hypocrite? The world of marketing is sickening and its goal is to gain "trust"
obviously you have ideas about how poverty affects things, that is a different subject.
tim, yea, joe no
+Halsdas Thanks for your comment.
If you hope you don’t want to be misunderstood, you are advised to show respect for hard-working people like Mr. Kim, by not writing “but simultaniously being aware that he is just a prety flower fed by a pile of sleazy manuer”, which misleads people and spoils your true intention.
You should see the money he is getting!...........he's got enough money to feed the world!
+Sharpteeth your a fool for thinking that. He dedicates his life to his career. He deserves to make the big bucks! Thats the way the system works.
Go to wallmarkt to get cheap shit you bum!
I shop at wegmans lol
plenty of dosh !
God protect you but you didn't talk about your wife Yoon soon and for your two sons i suppose you didn't react liké your father and you let your elder son choose his way freely
Hypocrite.
