<p><span>“Ending Child Marriage to Empower a Generation of Girls”</span></p>
<p>Every year 14 million girls are married as children, denied their rights to health, education, and opportunity, and robbed of their childhood. <a href="http://skollworldforum.org/contributor/mabel-van-oranje/"><span>Mabel van Oranje</span></a> has an inspiring vision of what the world could look like if there were no child brides, and initiated Girls Not Brides with the bold goal of ending child marriage in one generation. Child marriage traps girls and their communities in poverty. By ending the practice, the global community can start to address some of the most difficult challenges in development. Girls Not Brides is a global partnership of more than 300 civil society organizations working across 50 countries. By joining forces and working at all levels—from grassroots to international—members of the global community can tackle this harmful social norm and end child marriage.</p>

From 2002 to 2011, illicit money flows from corrupt deals in the developing world totaled nearly $6 trillion.

They collect evidence and launch hard-hitting campaigns to find global solutions and end the “resource curse” by tackling corruption, protecting the environment, preventing conflict, and defending human rights.</p>

<p><span>“Leading Slum Dwellers around the World to Improve Their Cities”</span></p>
<p>In 2008—for the first time in history—more people were living in urban than in rural areas. Today, more than one billion people live in slums. Founded by a collective of slum dwellers and concerned professionals headed by <a href="http://skollworldforum.org/contributor/jockin-arputham/"><span>Jockin Arputham</span></a>, a community organizer in India, Slum Dwellers International works to have slums recognized as vibrant, resourceful, and dignified communities. SDI organizes slum dwellers to take control of their futures; improve their living conditions; and gain recognition as equal partners with governments and international organizations in the creation of inclusive cities. With programs in nearly 500 cities, including more than 15,000 slum dweller-managed savings groups reaching one million people; 20 agreements with national governments; and nearly 130,000 families who have secured land rights, SDI has been a driving force for change for slum dwellers around the world.</p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>HOW DO WE/YOU BUILD A SOCIAL MOVEMENT TO END POVERTY</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Prof: a question from perspective of our mooc's students around the world, at the social good summit you talked about #2030now</span> <span>building a social movement</span> <span>to end extreme poverty</span> <span>- could you tell us a bit about the kinds of things they can do to participate in this movement and make a positive difference</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>JimKim</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>One of the great privileges I have had is the chance to actually participate in social movements -probably the most notable one was the movement to increase access to treatment for people living with hiv/aids- the best part of that movement is that we started in an almost impossible situation . (Now there was an experience we had before that treating patients with drug-resistant tuberculosis. That never really turned into a movement - it was more the advocacy of a small group of people. )</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>But HIV treatment turned into a social movement and I really got to see what it felt like and looks like. And there are some things I would want all the students in your class to know.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Know that social movements that have a huge impact are often led by small groups of people. Example ACT UP the social movement that led to the availability of aids treatment was never more than 20 or 30 people. People think it was thousands of people but it never was- thankfully many of them are still alive today and they will tell you it was always about 20 or 30 people.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>This echoes that old Margaret Mead Quote: never doubt the ability of a small group of people to change the world, in fact it the only thing that ever has. I think that is so true. So first all of the students should never doubt the ability of themselves to change the world it can happen.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>So the small group of people did was to look at the value chain (that was not the word they used but its the terminology that eg Michael Porter uses) . What you do is look at every thing you need to do to get to where you want to be. Most companies don't do that; they look at one piece and wonder why they are not changing value as a whole.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>So what the aids activists did: they said lets look at every single step.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>STEP 1 there needs to be more basic science research - so a bunch of them like 5! - went and took on basic science research. In USA, they started going after the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Disease , they went into the National Institute of Health and threw blood on people - you know these scientists - the nerdy scientists never had anything like that happen to them and they didn't like it, they didn't like it at all. And over time , in fact fairly quickly, and we should take our hat off to President Reagan for doing this they started moving money to NIH and so the research started.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>STEP 2 If there is a promising molecule you have to get it into the industry because public sector institutions are not going to take this to a drug, there has to be a profit motive. So they made it easier for molecules to go to the founder into the private sector.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>STEP 3 : they had to test those drugs so they put their own bodies on the line to test the drugs.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>STEP 4 then they had to get into the last stage of clinical trials and into the market. So one guy , Mark Harrington, became an expert on the Food and Drug Administration. I mean this is a guy who has an undergraduate degree from Harvard - smart guy. He became an expert on FDA and shrunk the time it takes to get a molecule from discovery to approval and on the market - shrunk the time dramatically. So you'd think at that point when they had a real treatment in 1996 they would stop. But that's not where they stopped. They took the next step -</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>STEP 5 They said: damned if we are going to let something that has come from so much work will only be available for those who can afford to pay for it. So the next thing was work with us to try and make sure that everyone in the world would be able to access it. So for them the social movement was not about a feel good rally. They did that too, but mostly it wasn't feel good- they latched themselves to the white house, they threw blood on people and got arrested, they did things that would make anyone else feel really uncomfortable but they knew that is what they needed to do to get through the value chain.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>So what I would say is being part of a social movement is going to be the most exhilarating memorable thing you are ever going to do. But understand how hard it is , and understand how serious you are going to need to be about everything it is going to take to get to the change you want, and then take it on as there is nothing better you can do</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>We need to start a movement to end poverty ,</span> <span>and it looks like folks are doing it there is a global poverty project that has begun doing it they are holding big concerts - they are serious about ending poverty. Pope Francis is serious about ending poverty, I had a great opportunity to sit with him and after years of struggling with my Spanish in Peru, it was good enough to speak to him in Spanish . I asked him I said I need your help, I need your help , we need to start a social movement. and he just said Conta Comigo "count on me".</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>This (End Poverty) has to be the next movement. If you look at all the steps is going to take to end poverty its a pretty broad mix.</span> <span>And that's the great news- we need everybody. We</span> <span>need writers who can write about this, we need engineers, doctors, lawyers, artists , everyone who can capture the imagination of the world to end poverty. There's a role but take a step back and say what is it going to take, what part of it can I take on, and how can we really make it happen.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Prof : well in this class there will be artists and writers and photographers and scientists and engineers and I know they will be inspired by your words and I know they will be learning things about the issues and finding ways to connect with each other to build this kind of movement. Jim Kim thanks you so much for this conversation and being part of this class.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Jim Kim: thanks so much for having me- its a great idea and a great class</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>You know when the secretary general of the UN came to speak at the World Bank to the 188 finance ministers he said something that will always stick in my mind- he said you know in every country I have ever been: THE KEY TO PEACE IS DEVELOPMENT</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>You know when we talk about a movement to end poverty, we are not just trying to create a movement out of thin air. we are trying to address the most critical problems on earth</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The Secretary General got it exactly right. (For example referring to news of Kenya Mall Siege Sept 2013) unless we tackle the 43% of people living in extreme poverty in Somalia the prospects for peace (in the region) won't be very good</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>You know a movement to end poverty is an idea that is beginning to grow</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Now what will it take to actually end poverty? At the World Bank group we have studied this for almost 70 years and here are some really</span> <span>critical elements</span> <span>that we know now:</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Firstly,</span> <span>We do need economic growth , we need economies to grow, the private sectors to grow, and we need to create good jobs</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Secondly,</span> <span>More importantly those jobs have to include young people. women , the extreme poor, those people who have been left out of the job market before</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Everywhere in the world we are seeing social movements pop up in places nobody expected them</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>I am an anthropologist, I have studied social movements and nobody expected the Arab Spring</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>And this year (2013) very few people expected what we saw in middle income countries like Turkey and Brazil.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The bottom line is the poorest want to lift themselves out of poverty but even the people who are emerging into the middle class want better health care services, want better education services, want a future for their children</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>So the challenge of "end poverty" means: we need to do things we have always done, we need economic growth but we need to be inclusive</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Thirdly</span><span>, and the thing that I think could really change things is begin a social movement. (For example) some of you will know that next week (in New York) there is a concert to end global poverty and if you haven't already, please look at the petition that is online its at zeropoverty2030.org</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>everyone in the world leaders, ;politicians philanthropists have to know that all of you care about ending poverty</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>I have been part of social movements my whole life - we have been working in global health in places like Haiti, Latin America (eg Peru) , even in countries like Siberia where we worked on tuberculosis projects, we have been part of movements that have been pretty successful - the global movement around aids was one of the most successful movements in history,</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>We now need a global movement to end poverty, we need to bring on-board the faith-based groups, we need to bring on-board NGOs and CSOs especially those which are not household names (the smaller ones)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>If we can build a movement and make it clear to every single leader in the world that we care about poverty and that we can end it, we can do something unprecedented- you know it was only 1990 when 43% of the human beings on this planet were living in extreme poverty, we made tremendous progress and by about 2010 we had cut that number down to about 21% , so five years ahead of the schedule set by the millennium goals we have reduced the global poverty rate.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>But the next stages are going to be more difficult-in order to end poverty by 2030 we will need to halve once, and then halve it again, and then halve it a third time in order to get to a level where we can feel we have ended extreme poverty</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Once again we can do it, for us at the world bank IDA our fund for the poorest is our most important tool but everyone has to get involved and everyone has to remember that in the fight to end poverty we have to tackle problems like the ones we have seen in Somalia</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The (UN) Secretary General and I just traveled to the Great Lakes region where we went to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda and because we have this fund called IDA we were able to put on the table an extra one billion dollars in a place that still hadnt really coalesced around the peace agreement.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>This was based on our conviction that for now, and for now on, and for ever more, peace and development have to be linked together- before that's not what we did we would go in and sign peace treaties and we would wait to see if the peace would hold, and then afterwards we would go in with some development projects</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>- we are not going to do that any more because we know that the key to peace is ending poverty</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>You know I have a 4 year old son, and my 4 year old son by the time he's about to graduate from college, we could have ended extreme poverty; he could possibly graduate into a world in which no-one was living in extreme poverty.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>I am so glad to be here, I need your help, you guys have fermented so many great things in the world , what we need right now is a global movement to end poverty, a global movement to end poverty that just might bring about peace in some of the most difficult paces on earth -we are counting on you and I know we can do it</span></p>

<p dir="ltr"><span>Can anyone help make a list of the causes of this ( how locally different and similar)</span></p>
<p><span><span><br/></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>The place where this challenge has been most consciously examined by educators themselves may be south africa. Back in 1999 it was decided that the country's development needed free university colleges for anyone capable of becoming a job creating entrepreneur. 15 years later : there are now 5 colleges and a recognition that there is a missing curriculum (and structure) all the way back to age 10. 14 million childrens world of teaching is now being changed and before 2020 the goal is creating 1 million jobs as a direct consequence of this change</span></p>
<p><span><span><br/></span></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Missing structure means that many teenagers are better off with an apprentice sandwich system rather than only schools. Its been hard for south africa to provide this because its businesses are predominantly small. So packages of swaps have needed to be offered - eg small business owners who take on apprenticeships can then get free consultancy or training from participating colleges or technology consultants</span></p>
