With donor money to fight HIV and Aids falling, spending in sub-Saharan Africa must be targeted to get the best results.

2012-05-23 Si tuviera 75.000 millones de dólares para gastar en los próximos cuatro años y su objetivo fuera mejorar el bienestar de la humanidad, en especial, el mundo en desarrollo, ¿cómo le sacaría el máximo provecho a ese dinero?  Esa pregunta la hice ante un pánel compuesto por cinco de los mejores economistas, incluidos cuatro galardonados con el Premio Nobel, durante el proyecto del Consenso de Copenhague del 2012.

  2012-05-20 Ако имате 75 милијарди долари да ги потрошите во текот на следните четири години, и вашата цел е да се унапредат благосостојбата на луѓето, особено во земјите во развој, како може најдобро да ги искористите своите пари? Тоа е прашањето што го поставив пред група од пет водечки економисти, вклучувајќи и четири добитници на Нобелова награда, на проектот Копенхаген Консензус 2012. Учесниците на панел-дискусијата беа избрани поради нивната стручност во утврдување на приоритетите и нивната способност да ги користат економските принципи за да се споредат политичките избори.

The goal of Copenhagen Consensus 2012 was to set priorities among a series of proposals for confronting ten great global challenges. A panel of economic experts, comprising some of the world’s most distinguished economists, was invited to consider these issues. The ten challenge papers, commissioned from acknowledged authorities in each area of policy, included nearly 40 proposals for the panel’s consideration. During the conference the panel examined these proposals in detail.

2012-04-15 Esta década ha visto notables avances frente a los mayores desafíos de la humanidad. Considere la declaración de victoria sobre la polio en la India, un hecho que parecía imposible hace diez años. En enero se cumplió un año desde que se reportó el último caso en este país. O, mire los avances logrados frente a la malaria: en la última década el número de casos se ha reducido en un 17% y el número de muertes, en un 26%. (...)
