Globe and Mail correspondent Kevin Carmichael profiles Jim Yong Kim, president of the World Bank and former “point man on HIV/AIDS” for the WHO, noting that in 2003, “he rallied the world’s governments to endorse [‘3 by 5,’] an audacious plan to treat three million [people living with HIV] with antiretroviral therapy by 2005.” Carmichael writes, “Our conversation has turned into a brief oral history of ‘3 by 5’ because Dr. Kim has a new mission,” adding, “In April, he convinced Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and the 24 other economic and development ministers who set the World Bank’s agenda to endorse a pledge to eliminate extreme poverty by 2030.” The profile also provides a broader overview of Kim’s career. In addition to Kim, Carmichael includes quotes from Stephen Lewis, the U.N. secretary-general’s special envoy for HIV/AIDS in Africa at the same time Kim was at the WHO; Lilianne Ploumen, a former AIDS and women’s rights activist who now is the Dutch minister of trade and international development; and Nancy Birdsall, founding president of the Center for Global Development (7/12).
