20th century intelligence - ending poverty of half world without electricity -although Keynes 1936 (last capter general theiry money inetrest emplymen) asked Economists to take hipocrati oath as the profession that ended extreme poverty, most economists did the opposite. Whats not understandable is how educatirs failed to catalogue the lessons of the handful who bottom-up empowered vilages to collaboratively end poverty. There are mainly 2 inteligences to understand- Borlaug on food; fazle abed on everything that raised life expectancy in tropical viage asia from low 40s to 60s (about 7 below norm of living with electricity and telecomes). Between 1972 and 2001, Abed's lessons catalogued in this mooc had largelu built the nation of Bangladesh and been replicated with help of Unicef's James Grant acroo most tropical asian areas. What's exciting is the valley's mr ad mrs steve jobs invted Fazle Abed to share inteligences 2001 at his 65th birthday party. The Jobs and frineds promised to integrate abed's inteligence into neighborhod university stanfrd which in any event wanted Jobs next great leap the iphone. The Valley told abed to start a university so that women graduates from poor and rich nations could blend inteligence as Abed's bottom of the pyramid vilage began their journey of leapfrog modles now that gridd infarstructures were ni longer needed for sdiar and mobile. Abed could also help redesign the millennium goals which were being greenwashed into a shared worldwide system coding frame by 2016. There re at Abed's 80th birtday party , the easy bitwas checking this mooc was uptodate. The hard bit - what did Abed mean by his wish to headhunt a taiwanese american to head the university's 3rd decade starting 2020?

Bangladesh Rural Advancement - building nations/sustainability goal networks from bottom-up and openly empowered by women and family loving communities 

what is BRA-C & abedmooc.com

BRAC can be connected with in many different ways:

worlds largest ngo Collaboration

built by hundreds of millions poorest village mothers over 50 years by alumni of fazle abed (who up to 1970 was an engineer and regional ceo of shell oil company); the deepest purose was to end poverty with the world's poorest women- when bangladesh was born in 1971- it was poorest nation, 8th most populoous (today over 150 million); a crisis tto be turned into an opportunity, 90% of its peoples were rural; and almost all rural women were expected to breed children- they had no productivity, livelihoods, little education

one way to think of brac is a field network of 100000 trainers of skills

over the last 12 years of abeds life, and 15 visits to bangladesh we found it useful to make notes on 36 interconnecting empowerent anf nation building"hunicorn"  networks over the 50 years; six for each of the 5 deepest goals: 100% livelihood inclusive communities 4 education for all ; 3 health for all; 2 human energy/food security for all; end poverty by everyone as well as 6 humnicors connecting all other goals including infrastructures

we have chosen 6 ways in to connecting brac to represent different stages of the 50 years abed linked everyone together; starting with building hmes for 100000 people metavilage in 1972- and paeting i20 dec 2019

historically vilages in asia mea no access to electricity grids or other modern infrastructures such as running water; from 1996 some global patners with villages brought experiments in boyth solar and mobile- this offered extreme opportunities to connect entreprenuriallyfor the first time; lets look at our 6 hunicors for goal 5 100% livesmatter communities; and goal 4 education; hopefully they illustrate the range of learning curves and so deep data networks you can choose to partner the world's number 1 ngo cooperation around
