From Fred Hiatt's ..

“The World Bank is potentially far more decisive than a bank,” Jeffrey Sachs, an economist at Columbia University, wrote in The Post this month. .. http://www.washingtonpost.com/how-i-would-lead-the-world-bank/2012/03/01/gIQAfGbZlR_story.html .. “At its best, the bank serves as a powerhouse of ideas and a meeting ground for key actors who together can solve daunting problems of poverty, hunger, disease and environmental degradation.”

Sachs wrote that in proposing his own candidacy, an offer that Obama did not pick up on. But Kim’s
appointment appropriately recognizes that the nature of the bank has changed and needs to change more.

The "3 by 5" initiative, launched by UNAIDS and WHO in 2003, was a global TARGET to provide three million people living with HIV/AIDS in low- and middle-income countries with life-prolonging antiretroviral treatment (ART) by the end of 2005. It was a step towards the GOAL of making universal access of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment accessible for all who need them as a human right.
