Bamgladesh offerrs best intelligence wwe have seen for sdgs 5 through 1 up to 2008, Search eg 4 1 oldest edu 4.6 newest edu ; .620th 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.

5.2 bis 4.1 bis HRLS barefoot lawyers

 

In 1985  BRAC initiated its Human Rights and Legal Aid Services[i] (HRLS) , using an empowerment approach based on education, a cadre of legal outreach workers, and legal aid clinics aimed at protecting the rights of the most vulnerable and halting violence against women and girls. A decade later the effort was expanded to include gender justice training and outreachUp to 5% of brac’s total staff emerged as community outreach workers or “barefoot lawyers” with hundfeds of legal aid clinics where vulnerable populations understand their rights and advocate for a better quality life. It can be hugely instructive to search any asian nation applying barefoot to a range of professions or creative services- whilst the roles developed in any goal 1 poverty ending nation have diverse and nuanced differences this will give you insights into the fabric of society , infrastructure flows both physical and digital and conscousness that top down masters of administration never see as vital adaptive opportunities. If the UN is to end greenwashing of sustainability goals the celebration let alone the safety of barefoot climate lawyers, barefoot health lawyers, barefoot digital wizards will need to be integrated into any transformative sdg movement.
