over 50 years former asian oil company (Royal Dur=tch Shell) rising star mapped out specas for uniting soluntions by and for billion poorest asian mothers - for 25 years all of his spaces were contrained to partnership platforms of 100000 person vilages without access to electrcity let alone communication beyond word of mouth (or where literate pencil, paper , ..) then a japanese partner from silicon valley gave him chnace to experiment with mobile and others brough vilage solar- so by 2001 abed told 30 years of partners while he never wanted them to stop vising womens vilages he also wanted to help form the GUOP - Global Universit Open Povery (solutios scalebal across communities at the spoeed of web as well as mouth) Abed dies in dec 2019- so can we make his legacy the www.sdgs.games - although abed worked from 1972 deeply on what we now call sdgoals 1-6 (and although a climate disruption in 1970 cyclone killing million copatriots hd ended his interest in oil company marketing) its worth noting that he was ill with brain cancer by the time the 17 sdgs were launched - lets hope the engineering relay can be connected by Antonio guterres who appears to have picked up the relay torch just as Asian <a href="http://www.japanthanks.com">women Olympians</a> and diversity's most energetic <a href="http://www.sdgoats.com">GOATS</a> can relay post pandemic sports valuation in web3 onwards
lessons 5.4 & 1.1 metavilage entrepreneurial revolution (rural keynesianism - supervillage networking - the economist (adam smith alumni) grand prize 1968-2018- rest of this post mainly summarises 1.1 how womens collaboration lab of the 100000 person metavilage (15000 hoikes abed built with his life savings in 1972) were to be the space for totally chnaging all aid empires once used to distribute top down
who owns wholesale nationwide can determine whether least developed nations ends poverty
bangladesh women empowerment depended on revolutions in education needed to operate microfranchises these in turn change 3 societal (public service) markets - food security, last mile health, finance to sustain local communities value lives matter diversity
by needing to design 100000 lives matter at a time fazle abed's 50 years helped design the 30 most exciting collabs all millennials -and all teachers - need to know of if they are to become the sustainabilty generation
primarily because of the 1760-1945 systems designed by the world's worst corporations (and bankers or politicians paid by their vested interests) - eg see all who partnered britannia's east indies company; much of tropical continental asia was trapped in poverty until the middle of the 20th century
- keynes' student (also loved by climate champions for small is beautiful) schumacher was partly correct in saying ending poverty would primarily require a new economic systems valuing the lives of a million rural villagers -defined as communities with access to electricity grids o9r any of the power or telecoms advantages that the era of machines had evolved since glasgow 1760
fazle abed , alumni of adam smith's glasgow (engineers) university turned his biggest error into an economic miracle
24 months were critical to learning from the mistake he made and the entrepreneurial revolution he designed
he had just been promoted to be asia's leading young president in global oil company sector by royal dutch shell - formally their ceo for east pakistan
1 million people all around him died in a cyclone- he spent the next several months literally burying bodies- shell oil has more infrastructure for disaster relief than any other organisation\he then went back to london to finish his contract, sell his putney flat by 1972 when he returned to his homeland his peoples had won a war of independence with (west) pakistan but another million people had been killed an almost the whole country's infrastructure had been destroyed
he spent his life savings rebuilding 15000 village homes - one room cabins without electricity - his engineering abilities (and sourcing bamboo gloated down river, tin from malaysia) made this the most economic project oxfam had ever seen - 100000 people had been rehoused in a metavillage 1.1- for details see biography of fazle abed for 10 years of villagers networking martha chen harvard "quiet revolution"- martha was the first central hub employee of Bangladesh Rural advancement Committee alongside abed and hits first wife Ayesha who tragically died giving birth to abed's second child
although oxfam celebrates this as a best ever case abed was desolated - no sooner that the homes were built than tens of village mothers were dying weekly of starvation- scores of infants of dehydration and lack o0f nutrition
what he urgently needed to do was deisgn microfranchises - positive income village businesses however small that the mothers could operate and which ended starvation and provided last mile health services so that no mother or infant died unnecessarily
achieving this he changed top down charity to sustainable bottom up business
and he designed nationwide wholesaling of the products the village mothers microfranchises most needed to deliver life matter/critical community services
this change mapped a new economics model - an entrepreneurial revolution -great leap advance for the human race
sadly it has not yet been possible to study yet in any western university just as other sme value chain models innovated in the easy have not been transparently modelled
all of this is discussed in the economist of the 1970s but their subeditors knew of every asian solution of this sort except bangladesh's solution- see www.teachforsdgs.com to download all entrepreneurial revo9lution and intrapreneurial surveys as well as 1920 silicon valley survey - the economist's subeditor of these surveys had met von neumann in 1951 and been told of the greatest journalistic scoop - ask leaders of all big organisation way they will design with 100 time more tech per decade - is they are responsible for 30 years what intergenerational design will they celebrate with a billion times more tech (see also moo9res law 1965)
