at the most basic level, how do we end extreme poverty
by enabling the poor to get on the first few rungs of the development ladder - problem is, many lack the minimal capital to get started
65
6 types of capital the bottom rungs (extreme povety) of the development ladder lack
HUMAN capital: health, nutr, skills to be economically productive BUSINESS: machine/family, motor transport INFRASTRUCTURE: road, power, sanitation, water, telecommunication NATURAL: PUBLIC infrastructure: commercial law, uudicial, gov serfices, policing to ensure peaceful/prospertity

70
5 reasons governmetn should finance schools/clinics versus provate sector
- if private, creates monopoly and they would overcharge for use. so government = cheaper - nonrival/publically provided goods doesn't decrease avaialbility - spillover effect in social sector. I want gov vaccinated so you don.... like when spillover exists private makets to undersupply goods and sevgices - ensure all have access to key basic goods liek water/food is the job of the government, international law, universial dec of human rights gov wants to give citizen what they need
71
private versus gov provision of social services/basic needs
gov should provide social sergices/basic needs but private entrepreneurs have shown they do a better job at running compared to gov - gov run business do for political not economical reach and banks make loans for political not on a basis of expected return

help countries build clinics but reject plans to cover salaries of staff. so emplty shell is built. SO donors must cover infrastructure and salary
87
5 aspects of aid flow (to developing country poverty projects)
magnitude - must be large enough to enable the recipeint coutnry to finance via investment timing- aid must be long term to enable th recipent country to follow through. recommend a 10 year plan predictability: air must be preditable enough to sidestep aid flow. doesn't jeopardy the investment program or macroconomic stability harmonizaton: air must reprt MG based poveryt decreasign streageties must be in the investnet plan rather than be the pet project of the aid agencies

1. choose several sectors of the development web and must address all aspects of development simultaneously - specifically. give them a JUMPSTART 2. that will lkt communications onto the "bottom rung" of the economic ladder" 3. from there, they can further themselves - Sachs arguest that this has never been done before. so may were working on one construct. or several that were too far apart
113
plan of Jeffrey Sachs
get a lot of money, focus all on the major constructs at once but focus on one village at a time to concentrate resources - prove "milleinum Vilalge Program" concept. idea was to hav ethe Millenium villages inspire other across the world to replicate the porgress to end povert

142
mortality rate of breast and prostate cancer
National Cancer Insitute in 2010 foudn that breast and prostate cancer both had mortality of 23 per 100K but more money went to breast cancer. why? - b/c medium age of breast cancers death was 68 but PC was 80.
143
composite global burden of disease indicator
DALY = disability adjusted lfie year
144
DALY
disability adjusted life year - a composite indicator that accounts for both morbidity and morality 1 DALY = 1 year of healthy life lost total DALY = YLL + YLD YLD = years of life lived before disabiltiy
145
YLL
yrs of life lost due to premature death - single standard worldwide for global burden of disease study to show how long humans shoudl be expected to live in comparisoin of Japanese women - in Swasizland, death at 32yr when there that is teh avg age of death. that is not considered premature. she woudl be considered to have lived a full life and there would be no measurable burden of disease. YLL is a single indicator worldwide that defines premature death
146
for the purpose of DALY,
you dont' need to compare average age of death to the national average and decide death is premature due to that. - compare to Jap women (e.g die at age the same as natioanl average as no natioanl avg sithe same. death still premature b/c compared to Jap women)
147
why do they think female life expectancy is longer
b/c men are more lilkey to die of prevantable causes
148
YLD
yrs life w/disability - to show the conditon had an effect on life even if met minimum life expectancy fo Jap famiy

cloud computing
he on-demand availability of computer system resources, especially data storage (cloud storage) and computing power, without direct active management by the user.[2] Large clouds often have functions distributed over multiple locations, each of which is a data center. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and typically uses a pay-as-you-go model, which can help in reducing capital expenses but may also lead to unexpected operating expenses for users.[3][4]

178
SAP
structured Adjustment programs - one of hte biggest controversaries - when a country asks for a loan, the lender thinks about he borrowers ability to pay back the loan - the developed countries think they know what a developing country needs to do to pay back - SAP = "prescription" of the things a developing country's needs to do in order to quality for a loan and is tailored to each country's specific needs - in reality, it is an assortment of some thinks like shrinking government spending/privatized state enterprise/eliminate/decrease tarrifs and trade barriers, remove price controls, cut gov wages/pensions, let national currency devalue SUPPOSED to be tailored to the country but it is always the sme list. people called out that it is rehashed via the "Washington Consensus"
179
3 controversaries with teh Structured Adjustment Program
the policies hurt the ppor inteh long rrun some coutnries are in debt already b/c previous loans quandered by previous corrup lerulers.
180
