Heroes:
Kimberly Chapman, Chair, Board of Directors, Carolina for Kibera, USA
What would we do without the passion of college students? While still a student at the University of North Carolina, Rye Barcott traveled to Kenya and became interested in the sprawling and violent Nairobi slum of Kibera, which receives no city services. He started a soccer league for the youngsters of Kibera with an unusual requirement-before each game they had to pick up trash in the neighborhood. The soccer league became the flagship program of Carolina for Kibera, a not-for-profit organization Barcott started in 2001 while still in school. He is now serving in Iraq and so Kim Chapman will share the Caroline for Kibera story.
Peter Okaalet, Africa Director, MAP International, Kenya
With degrees in both theology and medicine, Peter Okaalet believes that churches and church leaders have been a largely untapped resource in the struggle against AIDS. But, sad to say, there's been a lot of antagonism between medical personnel and clergy in sub-Saharan Africa. Okaalet has broken through many of the barriers that have kept doctors and clergy apart with an innovative AIDS curriculum that is being taught in seminaries and Bible colleges throughout Eastern Africa.
Ezra Teshome, Member, Rotary International, and Representative, The Rotary International Polio Eradication Program, USA
If, as many health experts hope, polio is eliminated from the world in the next year or so, the Rotary Club will deserve a lot of the credit. Members from around the globe, including Ezra Teshome of Seattle, have helped to raise millions of dollars for vaccination programs and provide volunteers to help with mass inoculations. Teshome organizes annual trips to Ethiopia, the land of his birth, to help with vaccine campaigns there and to raise awareness among Americans who often have the false impression that polio is a disease of the 1950s. |

#8: WHAT MUST WE LEARN FROM THE WAR AGAINST AIDS? |
|
|
Attention and dollars flow toward finding vaccines and cures for, and stemming the tide against the spread of, HIV/AIDS. Is it being well spent? What have we learned from the drug patent fights, the debate over treatment versus prevention, and the successes and failures of PEPFAR and the Global Fund? What can these lessons teach us about fighting other diseases?
Panelists:
Dr. Agnes Binagwaho, Executive Secretary, Rwanda's National Commission to Fight AIDS
Mr. Gary M. Cohen, President, BD Medical
Dr. Mark Dybul, Deputy U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, Office of Global AIDS Coordinator, U.S. Department of State
Dr. Helene Gayle, Director, HIV, TB and Reproductive Health, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
Dr. Peter Piot, Executive Director, UNAIDS
Moderator:
Dr. Jim Kim, Director, Department of HIV/AIDS, World Health Organization |

#9: FUNDING-WHO, HOW MUCH, AND WHAT FOR? |
|
|
Are the U.S. and other donor nations spending enough on global health? Is lack of money the major constraint precluding countries from scaling up to reach the Millennium Development Goals? Constraints at the country level in terms of poor governance, corruption, weak financial institutions and legal structures, difficult macroeconomic situations, insufficient skills and numbers of the health workers, etc., can preclude developing countries from making effective use of existing assistance. What can donors and countries do to remove these constraints? Which countries are the 'success' stories and why? What are the most realistic options to increase global financial support for health? How are public-private partnerships making the difference? Most developed nations give for specific diseases or programs, such as AIDS or bed nets or the eradication of polio. But those on the ground often face more fundamental concerns, such as diarrhea or simple malnutrition in children. How can givers and receivers avoid this mismatching or alleviate the gap? Should ministers and other government recipients have more latitude in allocating funds, and help determine which programs they participate in? What should be the roles of the bilateral and multilateral development organizations? How can donors know their money is being well spent?
Panelists:
Nils Daulaire, President and CEO, Global Health Council
Rajat Gupta, Senior Partner Worldwide, McKinsey & Company, Inc.
Paul D. Wolfowitz, President, The World Bank
