5.5 climactic celebration of millions of smart village COLLABS

1.3 brac ultra poor

 When we look through the 6 most distinctive financial collaboration platforms Abed originated over 50 years

1.1 changing aid to business microfranchises and long term "direct transfer" partnerships in which elite global aid organisations became bottom-up partners and thereby learnt deeply about theior own purpose

1.2 microfinacce

1.3 brac ultra poor

1.4 brac city bank for small enterprises and as a gateway to capital poilicy decsiiosn

\1.5 cashless bank bkash.com

1.6 (internatjonal) hq 2 netherlands - neither remittances nor international funding could be done with singular hq in dhaka, it may be that history will associate abed even more famosus with ultra poor than microfinance

as well as associations such as global association of banks with values www.gabv.org currently annually mediated by MIT presencing network led by otto sharmer

I think there are 3 ways of looking this

good thing if it means people know that they are missing out on complete end poverty understanding if they fail to study abed as a unique source

bad thing if means that the world still needs to glorify separate instruments/solutions rather than their integration - brac 6 finance platforms embed the poor in nation building , all value chains that they can effectively participate in

a challenge if theorists write up bup case studies as complete as opposed to evolving methodologies

https://hummedia.manchester.ac.uk/institutes/gdi/publications/workingpapers/bwpi/bwpi-wp-0107.pdf 

this paper by manchester university on bup is outstanding as being dated in 2007 (still fairly early on in global recognition of Ultra ); from it we can see how much entrepreneurial concept testing was in motion 

since abed's death in dec 2019 when asked for who to contact with the most knowhow - brac's finacial services to end poverty is the soimplest guidnace question - his son shameran abed worls tirlessly to live up to his father's knowledge 

Economistwomen.com teachforsdgs.com  Scots since Adam Smith have been curious about how the invention of engines Glasgow 1760s would be applied. In our view; the root cause of the world wars was that over nearly 2 centuries only about 20% of people (mainly white European/American) had access to the benefits eg electricity grids and emerging telecoms. Particularly across the Asian contient wher4e 60%^ of people lived, colonial empires especially Britain had not shared engineering except to control trade. My dad Norman Macrae hoped that teenagers would enjoy happier and more productive lives than serving as a navigator allied bomber command world war2 burma campaign. Thanks to Americans he survived; met Keynes, became The Economist's sub-editor of ending poverty, met  von neumann whose industrial revolutions 3 ,4 he became biographer to; was delighted in 1962 to see that he his war time enemy Japan and Taiwan had started up 2 Asia Rising models supervillages and supercities. By early 1970s fathers started debating Entrepreneurial revolution 3, 4 in the economist also known as industrial rev 3, 4. Dad defined IR3 as the era of racing to end poverty with win-win community shared solutions networking value that big corporations and big government alone could not sustain; for more details see our 40 year future history 2020report written 1984. By the mid 2020s tata from every gps on the planet would not be real time governed by humans but ai algorithms if these were diversely calibrated. During my father\s life- the all time great entrepreneurial revolutionary was fazle abed whose Collab platforms have formed the world's number 1 civil society network, helped celebrate empowerment of 1billiongirls, and offer 2020s benchmarks for sustainability generation. Lets explore 30 collabs abed invites all sustainability millennials to linkin as well as ideas to resolve final system conflicts eg climate that Abed demanded that hundreds of universities' graduate partnerships and humanising of AI would achieve in time.

2 FROM WORLD FOOD PRIZE SUMMARY OF FAZLE ABED 2015

 extract PDF testimony: In times of uncertain food security as the world’s population is projected to burgeon to more than 9 billion people by 2050, BRAC’s triumphal programs are scalable and sustainable, many of them in the form of enterprises that deliver a “dual bottom line” of a financial profit and a social good. Through BRAC, Sir Fazle has been a leader in empowering women and girls through microfinance, education, healthcare, and encouraging their active participation in directing village life and community cohesion. “We have always used an approach to development that puts power in the hands of the poor themselves, especially women and girls,” he said. “Educated girls turn into empowered women, and as we have seen in my native Bangladesh and elsewhere, the empowerment of women leads to massive improvements in quality of life for everyone, especially the poor.” BRAC has recently increased its commitment to girls’ education in low-income countries with a five-year pledge to reach 2.7 million additional girls through primary and pre-primary schools, teacher training, adolescent empowerment programs, scholarships and other programs. The Chairman of the World Food Prize Selection Committee and the first World Food Prize Laureate in 1987, Dr, M.S. Swaminathan, has praised Sir Fazle Hasan Abed as a “strategic thinker, and a man with a future vision.” Dr. Swaminathan lauded BRAC and its founder, writing that: “While it was set up in the context of the post-war reconstruction in Bangladesh, and its initial focus was on basic needs and strengthening livelihoods, Abed soon realized that the better strategy would be to complement state efforts rather than repeating them. BRAC is constantly innovating. While funding was important, Abed realized that the organization needed some internal financial resources in order to steer its course, rather than become diverted by donor agendas. He therefore set up a considerable number of commercial enterprises as part of the BRAC ‘brand.’ These include printing presses, manufacturing industries, a hotel, conference facilities, retail outlets and the private BRAC University, among others. Surpluses from these enterprises go into supporting BRAC’s development programs.” And finally, Dr. Paul Collier, professor of Economics at Oxford University and author of The Bottom Billion, summed it up when he called BRAC “the most astounding social enterprise in the world.”

 our aim at teachforscotland (includes special eg climate curricula updates www)  but generally is to be friend networks for connecting life actions of fazle abed and wendy kopp - the inaugural and 2021 winners of the education nobles aka wise lautraees chaired by qatar first lady, educationforall mapmaker and sdg advocate sheikha moza

over the last 13 years  by 15 visits to bangladesh and fazle abed we have catalogued collab case studies - see eg www.economistwomen.com   www.adedplay.com www.abedmooc.com - ask chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk for a tour if you are looking for a ddepest women can empower sustainability collaboration out of any locality connecting any locality

for official networks of wendy kopp start at teachforall.org :america ; india .... - you should find about 60 countries networks most ending .org - eg teachforamerica.org teachforzambia.org (we will aim to conform the copalete kopp conformed list as soon as possible)

at teach for scotland we have 13 years of connections with adam smithians hubbing out of Glasgow University (as well as backing his questions in 1750s of systemic faults of english education system (not valuing youth as much as comforts of top profs), a lot of connections from ecop26.com, glasgow was the alma mater of fazle abed in our view the person who valued a billion poorest women and so 2 billion poorest people more than anyone else simply because he aimed to be the greatest collaborator on behalf of those community building the 5 most basic sdgs - 4 education 3 health 2 food 1 finace to end poverty and community-maximise sme livelihoods 5 to build 100000 person communities of full employment and total respect for diversity between wmeon and eman, skins of all colors or any other mulripler of co-creative 100000 real peopel can digitally linkin as well as last mile serve -pease note we live in a digital age where an adults personal network may be every opportunity and threat but while a child grows up the real community locally around her is safety, is peace and kindness , nutrition , joy (or if you are unlucky where you are born the opposite) - sustainability will soon of mot already depend on wherever next childbieng born being a thriving space ebacsue the thousand or so nearest families help each other o such basic colaboratiosn as nature/climate de,ans, ending covid requites, safa and happy youth neighborhoods must-needs blossom eberywhere in 2020s -  why can't everyone be a teacher and a student in an era where we have teh tech to be the smartest and most loving peoples have ever been?

4.5 early childhood education

Typically an Abed playschool 3-5 year olds connects 20 neighboring families (communally within walking distance of each other: before 6 child is literate, numerate, has enjoyed 3 years of loving care, in montessori style has become great teamworker
Over 50 countries now replicating- why not community build next door to you
2001 30 YEARS INTO FINDING PARTNERSHIPS TO SUSTAIN THE POOREST ASIAN VILLAGE WOMEN- Fazle Abed decided to take up Mrs Steve Jobs challenge - why cant women globally share in sdg 5-4-3-2-1 solutions you have helped billion poorest asian women to co-create. 

Abed's answer was to create brac university 4.4 ,  and to start creating masters that had never been offered before. 4.5 MA in early childhood education - started at brac university 16 years ago, this has become the most massive new education movement- the world bank catalogues over 100 projects and that's just in the developing world- while not everyone studies early childhood the way abed designed it - LEGO does, the world's number 1 education luminaries out of hong kong CELEBRATED BY TECH BILLIONNAIRE YIDAN do -

 why because abed specified that loveq was what mattered most  wherever playschools live up to a billion women and his legacy: joy, safety, collaboration confidence of the early child and the loving relationship with and by her teacher and the community- make sense? learn more on 4.5  - if machine intel is to help save us in 2020s from pandemics and climate we'll need todays youth to be the most loving, collaborative, refugee caring across borders ever born and bred

============================================

by 6 - ie before a child graduates from early childhood basic literacy and numeracy should be rights! ie teaching methois exist that can make sure of this as clarified eg at yidan prize 2021 with evidence supplied by the 2 nobel economics laureates 2019 duflo and banerji

as well as early childhood schools directly implementing fazle abed designs, and methods reviewed by yidan we recommend
