Is it possible for media or universities to be designed to end poverty?
Our Definition of Ending Poverty - a world designed so that each next girl or boy born has a good chance at life- in turn this means every community is designed to sustain this goal
History distributed life opportunities very unevenly geographically- even as President Kennedy declared the 1960s goal of racing to the moon - the majority of peoples lived in rural areas without access to electricity and with life expectancies over 20 years below
Once you know that it should be no surprise that the entrepreneurship's number 1 university partnership of last mile health is closely related to partnering universities in ending poverty; ...
The main ways a billion village women in Asia ended poverty were through microfranchises :
replicating last mile rice production where knowledge linked ti alumni of borlaug increases village productivity several fold
designing last mile health services in bangladesh over 100000 village others made positive cashflow by doordashing 10 non prescription medical items; each mother had a route of 300 homes to visit weekly; over time she because the most trusted person for medical news such as when to get vaccinated
It wasnt until 1996 solar and mobile partners came to villages that village networking could be anything other than person to person; after that both internet and university could be designed to both connect partners COLLAB platforms and both microfranchise specifications and deeper research - see these 36 collaborations which have turned brac into both the largest ngo partnership and the number 1 universities of 1 early childhood play, 2 last mile medicine, 3 ultra poor financials services...download one page guide

chapter synopsis 3 health
Chapter 3 Core to nation building of Bangladesh's fisrt 50 years was raising life expectancy from 25 below to close to world norms through maximising last mile health service capacity with collaboration focus on affordable life-shaping solutions for infants and mothers
While the new nation of Bangladesh wasnot known for world class inventions in 1971, it did have one medical solution that would rock the world of pediatrics. In poor tropical (humid) nations up to a third of infants die of diarrhea. If a mother knows (Oral Hydration) how to mix boiled water, sugar and salt in correct proportions she can save her infants life. While this invention was discovered in the East Pakisan cholera lab, nobody had found a way to market a potentially zero-cost cure. The networking of this across the whole rural nation of Bangladesh and over to China was to be what the first 3 head office employees of brac found partners to action network principally Unicef’s James Grant who was overjoyed both to fund brac’s nationwide oral rehydration educational campaign to every village mother and make his own life’s work that of storytelling OR to every developing nation leader.
During brac’s first 14 years Abed's focus was designing business microfranchises; accepting a huge grant like UNICEF’s was the exception. The opportunity from brac wining the un year of the child competition and it was what extended brac’s rural womens networking from the 100000 person metavillage (see chapter 5) to practically the whole rural nation. Almost as miraculous as Oral Rehydration is the first health service microfranchise Abed designed – a sort of doordash of 12 non prescription medicines franchised as a weekly visit to 300 homes per village mother making a living as a para-health servant. This also led to these mothers (which grew into 80000 village businees-women) being the most trusted guide to all sorts of health happenings. Read on - chapter 3 coming soonMonday, August 30, 2021
synopsis chapter 1 financial services to end poverty
Chapter 1 Ending poverty with financial services
Synopsis – over 50 years Abed designed financial services to connect all of the nation’s value chain of banking so that the very smallest business owner was included in affordable loans and good savings provided she worked hard and met her community’s life shaping needs. In 1971, when Bangladesh began as a new nation, 90% of people were rural. – most rural men were unbanked; in the case of rural women almost zero enjoyed financial services. From village banking for microfranchisees to city banking for SMEs and first generation citizens from rural to international remittances half a century has seen human development around a lot of financial service segmentation- Thanks to Abed those families starting with the least were never forgotten. Remarkably bkash.com the world’s largest cashless banking system in terms of user population was one of the most recent consequences of partnering those who agreed with Abed’s purpose of banking as intergenerational in exponential impact and thus core to collaboratively celebrating sustainability goalsSunday, August 29, 2021
Chapter 4 EDUCATION Synopsis
Chapter 4 Education
designed to value's the (girl/boy) child's life, love of self, collaborative
teamwork, communal dignity of everyone as an action learner and livelihood
co-creator
Most of 21st
Century brac’s hundred thousand people are skills trainers distributed across rural
Bangladesh who value Paulo Freire culture of service learning -indeed St Francis’
quest that female followers practice community health servants and male followers
celebrate being nature’s deepest connectors; of course, here are a few
engineers too; but I can’t remember having met a bureaucrat in the organization
that Abed facilitated. Nowhere is data deeper than when you ensure you are
always searching out what the poorest need to be included in the future
Frankly speaking the foundation
of brac around skills trainers started from Abed’s biggest mistake. As one of Asia’s
leading young engineers, in 1972 he used his life savings to build 15000 homes
for 100000 people whose region had been flattened by the war of independence. Bangladesh
is a crowded nation but in other ways Abed’s metavillage 5.1 was one of the
most disconnected space in the tropics. No electricity, no engines of any kind.
No sooner than this
was built than Abed found dozens of women were dying each week of starvation;
scores on infants were dying from dehydration. The desperate “educational” need
was to develop business micro franchises in food production and last mile
health services- and to train village mothers to operate these with positive
cash flows however small but compounding positively
Thus 4.1 WOMENS LIVELIHOOD
TRAINING – Through microfranchise design 1.1 and training village mothers’
productive community building to end poverty and actioning sustainability goals
started what has become civil society’s most collaborative and largest 21st
C partnership network
Bangladesh was born 8th
largest and poorest nation 90% rural ie villagers without access to
electricity. So women empowered action learning networks were all person to
person. About 15 years into Bangladesh’s development village mothers could
afford to demand village schooling for their children.
4.2 PRIMARY Brac built the largest non-government primary
school system – over 40000 one room schools in little more than a decade. Village mothers operated these schools using
brac’s own learning materials. Above all Abed designed in a loving environment
for kids t experience but at age 11 moist outperformed city schools run by the
government. Designing many children’s only 6 years of learning made it important to
add in “missing curricula”: financial literacy is paractised at 2nd
grade onwards; because brac village mothers deliver most of the last mile
health services, health and safety practices are bult into the culture of being
a brac student.
4.3 PARTNERS IN SECONDARY
– GIRLS JOBS APPRENTICESHIPS PLUS. For various reasons including millennium goals focus on primary
schools, Abed could not assemble funds fordesigning secondary schools. Instead
he built mainly girls apprentice clubs to partner libaries as well as secondary
school scholarships. Brac’s community culture maximised livelihood support for
children/families that it linkedin
4.4 UNIVERSITY. 1996: In the second quarter of a century of
Brac and Abed’s work tech partners in the form of solar, mobile started to come
to the villages. Abed started up brac university. Everything brac and village
women empowered networks could be updated there, and much more including the
request probably first made by Mrs Stave Jobs that Abed work out which of Bangladesh
women’s solutions could be extended to other countries. So, while the
university aimed to be sustainability’s best national university, abed wanted
to design solutions that graduates of collaborative sdg universities could
apply the world over.
4.5 ECP. Early Childhood
Playschools were a gap in education
all over the world. So, brac university offered Asia’s first masters in ECP.
Giving children the earliest experience of a loving space to developm has
special advantages in places brac works from the poorest villages to refugee
situations. Partners in Early Childhood Playschools can bring world class psychological
inputs; and indeed, clarify why brain science supports action learning as the
most effective method in so many skills from arts to computer coding to microentrepreneurship.
4.6 Luminaries of Education,
Collaboration and Urgent Sustainability Generation. Anything humanity doesn’t yet know how to do-
including living sustainably with nature- can only be massively solvable by
Education. Before he died, Abed passed on the idea if education luminaries to Hong
Kong and tech billionaire Charles Yidan and his newly emerging 4-hemispher
education foundation: Yidan Prize & Yidan Luminaries. Luminaries connect
practitioners if education with practitioners of anything that can be a
solution youth need to be the first SD Generation. each year as well as celebrating
new prize winners, luminaries are connecting 4-hemisphere stages for celebrating
advances of 360 degree education – today and discipline including tech wizards can
positively interact with bringing up the younger half of the world as first SDG
generation. For example, Yidan’s director of partnerships is also entrepreneur
in residence at Stanford. From Bangladesh to Hong Kong to Stanford to Cambridges
(Boston and England) to Oxford to Wuhan let girls and boys joy of co-creating
shine.

Synopsis Goal 5 Partner collaborations
with Abed’s Billion Community ABC: NEWS – New Economics Womens Sustainability
If you were privileged
to be a fly on the wall in any of the 50 years that Asia’s leading young oil
company engineer (Fazle Abed) turned to suppirting village women end extreme poverty (starting 1970- cyclone kills
million people around Fazle Abed ; 20th dec 2019 Abed’s last day on
earth) you would have heard future debates on who in the world would join us in
not just relieving this urgent crisis but empowering women to develop sustainable
futures for their next generation
Over the half century, we identify these as 6 most exciting compasses (each multiplying development possibilities) which Abed as Moral Engineer invited partners to co-create -The Economist's 1970s entrepreneurial
revolution quest in Abed's case so that a billion poorest women agented the end of poverty (apart from preventing extinction of all of us - the
greatest miracle any economist will ever get a window into)
5.1 100000 personmetavillage – as far away from the first 210 years of humans and machines as
you could find on earth in 1972. (Building 15000 homes with his life’s savings
was in one sense Abed’s biggest mistake-- no sooner than this community was
built than he found dozens of village mothers dying of famine in the village
pathways each week – why hadn’t he focused first on the action learning
challenge of designing village mothers’ micro franchises of food security and
last mile health services – each day he failed to attract sustainable
investment partners was a death trap for a few more village mothers)
5.2 Billion Girls Collabnetworking Fortunately the same sense of urgency was going on in tropical village
China when women were also being told they were now responsible for equaling
male productivity. The most exciting micro franchise swaps started – Chinese mothers
wanted to learn oral rehydration, the Chinese had the rice seed most closely
adapted to Bangladesh’s most unusual seasons/ecologies. Every entrepreneurial
compass to end poverty was worth experimentally swapping apart from financing
which for obvious reasons had different sources – compass 2 agricultural food
security, compass 3 last mile health, compass 4 skills education, compass 5 100%
women inclusion in village productivity. Extraordinarily 25 years before the UN
declared sustainability development goals a billion Asian women knew what their
life’s work needed to be adapted round!
5.3 Brac Internet -giant leap for
rural girl-kind– 1996 saw bracnet brought by Japanese and Silicon Valley
partners
5.4 Brac & Asia's 100 SDG University Partnership -What a double leap
for mother earth – 2001 Abed partners start Asian's new university movement –aimed at attracting the world of researchers and data mapping most linked to the bottom 2 billion women and mens development. In launching a University in Dhaka in 2001 , Brac was also seeking collaborations wherever universities wanted their new graduates to scale up local worldwide solutions (see eg early childhood schools or ultra poverty graduation) that 50 million or more people urgently needed to get back onto sustainability orbits. The 21st C had commenced with Abed feeling a double sense pressure – he could see new tech accelerating impacts in Bangladesh that put brac in a business race to complete nationwide value chains but Mrs Steve Jobs had also asked him at a millennial goals party: why don’t
you serve/share your goal's solutions with the rest of women's world? Sustainability world's most collaborative universities was to be the way to keep this intergenerational and inter-hemisphere commitment practical.
5.5 Climate smart-adaptability
village networks- we talk a lot about sustainability smart city exchanges and
heck do we need deep trust in mediating that – but don’t forget village women
worlds also needs to travel through the last decade when preventing extinction
is possible
5.6 zoom my last chances up scotty-
perhaps there is poetic climate justice that the 260th year of what
the heck did Glasgow start up around machines became a blended mediation where
at least as much was being innovated in borderless zooms as the leaders thrones

chapter 2 agriculture to end famine and to raise future hope -synopsis
- Chapter 2 Ending famine with village
agriculture and 100% employment of women geared to community building and
celebrating nation's market/entrepreneurial advantages
Through the third quarter of the 20th century, famine was the biggest killer of Bangladeshi and Chinese people.
Fortunately solutions to ending famine in Asia had been demonstrated during the extraordinary peacemaking umbrella Americans had provided to the three far north eastern islands and peninsulars after world war 2.
KNOWHOW NETWORK SAVING THIRD OF WORLD LIVES- BORLAUGS GREEN REVOLUTION. By 1960, Alumni of Borlaug had shown that Japanese, South Korean and Taiwanese people could produce up to ten times more rice locally than had been historically understood. The 1960s was decade that Abed had become a rising Asian star at the Anglo-Dutch Shell Oil company, So Abed could easily find out where this green revolution was advancing across Asia.
Whilst many of the innovations Abed designed into village businesses took extraordinary entrepreneurial creativity, the first business microfranchises he designed for village mothers (in the 100000 person metavillage he had built in 1972 -(see chapter 5) tapped into thie obvious urgent need for local food security actionable by choosing relevant local adaptation.
Bangladesh’s tropical part of the Asan continent is not an exact enough match for rice productivity with the far (north) eastern places that had already succeeded with Borlaug-type seed customisation. The nearest successful adaptation had been made by tropical Chinese villagers. They were only too happy to swap their knowhow on how to end starvation with Bangladesh’s knowhow on oral rehydration (see chapter 3).
It's fascinating to
see Abed’s sequential rollout of women-villager led markets – from rice to
veggies for vitamins infants need not to stunt, to his first wife’s passion
(Aravind) for village crafts including agriculture of silk cultivation targeted
at gaining revenues from rich citizens, to what has become 14 value chains that
21st C brac enterprise lead nationally so village mothers are
included in sustainable entrepreneurship. Of course other least developed
nations may gain from a different profile of which agricultural markets to
integrate around rural communities – but question – do you know of any other
developing nations that has generated over half a century such purposefully matched agricultural
development by and for rural families? Why or why not?
Footnote in 2020s Bangladesh has 3 main ways of earning foreign currency:
Agricultural
Garments
Remittances
All three Bangladesh trades exist today because of empowering rural women to hold up half the sky. If economics is a moral let alone an exponentially sustainable profession it should demand truth in understanding how miracles of extreme poverty happened. We can learn from how both Bangladesh and Chinese women were the secret sauce of the greatest human development in history. We shouldn't be surprised that female villagers were loving enough to thank their networking connectors for sharing what life critical bottom-up solutions worked. The sources of finance were completely different. The Asset bases of the nations incomparably different. The mechanisms that changed women's role from breeding to business entrepreneurship were different. But in these extinction-prevention 2020s fake studies of clues we have to human sustainability will compound crises at every national border. The older half of the world bares an extreme responsibility for stopping ideology traps from destroying the younger half of our species. This was one reason why Abed's favorite topic of conversation in the 12 years 50 friends and I were lucky enough to study brac's future history was the collaboration of 100 Asian universities 95.4) whose graduates transparent connectivity would be crucial to diversity mapping- we get one dccade where human and artificial intel comes together: lets make sure the bottom up foundations of that mimic nature not manmade power games.

In the context of orgabsaitions or partnership networks- trust and unique purpose are ultimately what make an organsiation better (round purspoe and pride of its emplotyyes and theor learning passions- we clarified this in a triple special issue of juournal of marketing magement I edited in 1999 after more than a decade helping 2 professors from mit and havrad colect a databank of what societies most wanted from compaines new product processes and beter for humasns - getting bigger is not relevant (except that if you are the graviating more good around your purpose than any otehr system you dont want to get taken over by someon bigger)
There are now 9 building pieces that I might help people checkers their numbers purspoe around.

Dear Scott - would it be practical to chat to member of your team about 2 updates? On my side I visited bangladesh 15 times after my father's Death (dad norman had been the economist's end poverty sub-editor). Japan's ambassador kindly introduced me to sir fazle abed and after 15 trips with young journalists we have tried to file www.abedmooc.com - reviewing 30 collaboration platforms sir fazle hoped his partnership legacy would continue. Also yesterday I was speaking to mutual contact shaina magrone- she reminded me of the urgent need to try to kickstart social business among young black americans. I accompanied dr yunus to 6 stateswide sb competition challenges mainly in HBUC states; and now I know Shaina and have long been inspired by rev al hathaway (the deep thurgood marshall community in baltimore) I think its time to have another go at that.

I believe the purpose of education has become our last chance
of returning millennials to being the sustainability generation
Since 9/11, I have spent about half my working time
searching for system r4esolving solutions. For example, being mainly London-based
to 2005, I helped Paul Komesaroff host the first Global Reconciliation Network
event in 2003 with Mary Robinson as Keynote speaker. I then attended GRN Delhi in
2004. In 2004, I also helped host some Brazilian delegates to the European
Social Forum 2004 particularly those concerned with water as a human right
which Bula was supporting.
Also, for 3 years I was volunteer special interest group
editor of European Knowlegdbeoad.com. My designated interest was emotional
intelligence; of the 9 other special interest groups, our dialogues were
closely associated with the NGO interest group. It was during this time that we
started to form a club of collaboration cities aimed at celebrating each others
cultures: leading participants were Rome, Barcelona, Amsterdam. We also started
to parametrize why water poses so many different challenges to sustainability
in different parts of the world – this could be a suitable way of building collaboration
mapping networks that a virtual community space and its connections with the European
Union’s elearning goal. It was during this work that I heard more and more
Europeans talking about microcreditsummit and millennium goals.
In 2005, London Year of Make Poverty History, I was on the
board of the Simultaneous Policy (simpol.org) delegated to attend monthly events
connecting leaders of UK foundations. Unfortunately, much of the momentum of
this year collapsed with the 7/7 terror attack, and personally I lost one of my
5 main mentors.
My wife had needed to move to the University of Maryland for
her career, so from 2006 I became more and more interested in Bangladesh and
Asian women empowerment; initially by making contact with Sam Daley-Harris in
Washington DC. My family first helped Dr Yunus connect his social business book
launch between London and East Coast US Cities. But after my second trip to Bangladesh,
I realized I wanted to write up notes on what was then the 40 years of Sir Fazle
Abed’s work on poverty alleviation. I was surprised at the first 3-hour
brainstorming session with Sir Fazle Abed- the topic why not microeducationsummit
instead of microfinance summit. Brac was by now nearing recruitment of its
100000th employee culturally connected around Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the
Oppressed.
Abed went on to explain how platform building of partnerships
involved two very different quarter of a century. From 1970 to 1995, all village
connections were person to person or print. From 1996, Brac internet, and soon
the opportunity to develop universities, as platforms changed the future partnerships,
he could linkin. But always his focus was ending Colonial Era heritage of linearly
examined education. Brac had from the outset started with adults’ jobs training.
By the time Abed started Brac University in 2001, there was one last schools’ development
process to design: playschools. Typically, of Abed he saw this as an opportunity
to start designing a format that dozens of countries could join in – BRAC University
pioneered the first MA in playschools in Asia if not the world.
It is, of course, peculiar to those who value education that
it was as late as 2011 that the world’s first global education laureates were
launched due to the extraordinary vision of First Lady of Qatar Sheikha Moza. She
was already developing women’s education city campus, and seized the
opportunity to leverage the location of the country’s conference center to celebrate
both WISE education laureates and WISH health laureates. Her and Sir Fazle’s
movements fitted perfectly – at least until the blockade of Qatar when Qatar
Foundation lost its role as official UN hub for all refugee education networks.
There is much urgent work to be done if education is to be
valued as much by future place leaders as economics. There is no network as
well suited as TeachForAll to continue the legacy Sir Fazle’s half century and empowerment
of billion Asian women has grounded.

Awesome! I'll look into it. Interesting article connecting goleman and UN: https://www.un.org/en/academic-impact/unlocking-your-emotions-achieve-sdgs-emotional-intelligence
[2:07 PM, 1/18/2022] ChridMacra: yes i like EI today; i remember that when the european union first said i could mediate EI I was alarmed first because I hadnt studied him - second my first readings - he seemed so general particularly to 20 years work i had done on whether leaders are trusted- i now realise that if you asked for a tour of human intel i would probably say start with goleman and i would welcome the fact that he appears to discuss human actions more than provide metrics; by the way there is a different part of goleman but I am not sure I know its exact reference- he talks of organisational diseases - starting with what he calls CEO disease by which he means fear of communicating truth up the hierarchy; there is something I call the hunt for missing curriculum by which I actually mean is fatal if teachers at each grade dont know the next grades up; i would happily call goleman ei a missing curriculum -its funny just got a book from amazon - its the order (17 factors) americas largest pension fund director uses to grade national rankings - I will send it in half an hour - it makes quite a contract to put in one's brain at the same time as some EI - I am not sure if Leif Edvinnson is still chatting- it might be that asking him his view of goleman would start him up... i dont recolect but i think leif studies how using computers changes the brain - probably both views inform whether we are letting ai experts do what humans most need; I have to trust jeanne lim on this within the rather limited knowledge I have when it comes to how AI is now done

20000 sheep- like the rest of scotland capitalists from london were ordering scottish lords- you make more money quarterly by raising sheep- thin the scottish people- my family's solution on sundays debate in one large village circle which family wanted to emigrate next and send a message to the lord that he could thin another 5 people if he paid their shipping usually to usa - this happened all over scotland until 80% of scots live worldwide down in london, my hero london-scot james wilson thought empire thinning of people was just one of many human wrongs of white empire alongside slavetrading, genocide, colonising, and controling agricultural markets price so that neighbors such as the irish starved; he started a newspaper, the economist in 1843 as a weekly gossip letter he circulated in londons royal societies at that time quuen victoria with albert was still young in heart and strong in mind- she liked the idea of reigning over commonwealth instead of slavemaking so she gave james a bank licence- charter bank- to go develop financial services by and for the peoples of india out of the then capital calcutta - there in 1860 james died of diarrhea within 9 months of landing -it was to take 83 and 120 years before my family's intelligence directly converged with james wilson legacy lets skip trough my family tree to my father norman macrae after just mentioning that my mothers farher was a 4th generation scot in bombay who had mainly been pharmacists (landmark: kemps corner) but sir ken qualified as a barrister about 20 years after gandhi but found humself as britains chief justice mediating gandhi for 25 years before ken's last job writing up all india's independence- he had been told to assume all india was one nation not the partition into unequal thirds it became; at around the same time gradad was typing up independence dad norman macrae was spending his last days a a teen navigating planes in bomber command stationed in burma; from burma you can look west across bay of bengal to india including kamala harris maternal homeland chennai and central asia, or fly south to singapore and asean , or look to your north to china and where the then enemy japan were ruling the skies thanks to americans dad and so i existed- after being in keynes last class dad got a job at the economist where he was well positioned to take up james wilsons baton; within 15 years dad concluded japan had transformed in the most joyful way- it was developing around 2 new economic models one rural, one supercity which all asia could win-win trade with - thats over 60% of humans most of whom had never seen electricity let alone win-win trading maps for centuries due to colonisation mainly by london- in 1962 president kennedy within a week of dads publication consider japan was cheering on this new future sustaining everyone -kennedy started declaring american interdence as the future of von neumann's legacy- but within a year both kennedy and medgar evers were assassinated- and quite frankly i cant really understand america's asian policy ever since- fine that not my business- but it most certainly was the business of anyone supporting billion womens empowerment around fazle abed; | ... in the 1950s the teenage fazle abed travelled to glasgow to study naval engineering; this was about 65 years after gandhi had gone from indua's north west coast to london to study to be a barrister; fazle abed travelled from what had been india's far north east (recolonised as east pakistan his homeland was to regain independence as bangladesh 1971) : abed graduated from glasgow, went to london , mastered charter accountancy and by the early 1960s he had landed a job at royal dutch shell oil corporation; and by 1970 was his home regions ceo for shell; there a million people died all around him in a cyclone; this changed his life: for half a century he became a collaborative networker of villagers ending poverty -he redesigned disaster relief to be bottom up and aid around microfranchising women village entrepreneurs; - he was thus bringing what james wilson had left off 110 years earlier but in abeds case his bank blocked from serving calcutta reached out to provide the rural keynesianism investmemts and the village microfranchise solutions that up to a billion village mothers used bth to build bangladesh and rural china; how that was done can be learnt or co-created at www.abedmooc.com through 2020s if we want all our children to be the sustainability generation |
