Sir Fazle Abed -top 70 alumni networks & 5 scots curious about hi-trust hi-tech
to explore all the knowhow connected over abed's 83 years, we find all of these perspectives can help- where relevant we compare them the legacy of economist founder james wilsoon which started with his death by diarrhea in calcutta 9 months into his mission authorised by queen victoria -charter bank - aimed at financial services designed for and by the peoples of south asia
1 born 1936 - abed's first 19 years have parallels to gandhi 67 years earlier - both travelled at 19 from far corners (gandhi nw , abed ne) of british raj map of india to study in britian- gandhi law at bar of london, abed to study naval engineering at adam smiths glagow uni -more
2 geo-history; at its core 1945's birth of united nations ( san francisco opera house ) needed to remap a post-colonial world mainly designer around the interests of 7 white empires -about 8% of people plus japan- most of 70% of humans who were asian had been left out of 185 years of progress of humans and machines- eg rural in asia meant no access to electricity grids or telecoms - more
3 whilst the vast majority of asia's colonisation was done by britain, the country was effectively bankrupted by world war 2 and quickly agreed to demands for independence- but in the case of abed's homeland in 1955 it would have been 7 years of being reassigned as colny of pakistan- as far as stimulating asia rising the americans had by 1955 put japan on a growth path and kept south korea free; coastal roadster capitalism grew from japan to singapore -see the economist to 1970 by which time abed had risen at shell oil to be regional ceo for his region- this was when his life was to be changed at age 33 by 3 by one-million killer disasters- cyclone, war of indepenence, famine - more
4 1968-1977 was also an extraordinary time in china- by 1968 the chinese had totally rejected the russian ideology - a country which had no-non state corporation as late as 1975 started to explore 3 types ofnew capitalism - licences to run companies:
inward investment by china diaspora, now the 3rd wealthiest financial network after usa and japan; direct knowledge transfers from japan engineers to state industries; and what the economist called rural keynesianism - by 1977 bangladesh and chinese women started having a lot of knowhow to exchange on how women could hold up half the sky - eg barefoot health workers, borlaug crop science which increased local food security sometimes by 10 fold -more
5 between 1970 and 1995 brac was concerned with core interventions:
sustainable communities with inclusion of women as economic actors
last mile health
last mile agriculture to end starvation
finance and servant leadership for poorest
education for livelihoods -
we discuss the solutions here which had made bangladesh the world's micro-partner open village university by 1995
5a both because of asian history, and his corporate experience at royal dutch shell- uk, netherlands and japan have provided consistent partnership to brac- however it was in the 1980s that james grant of unicef made the biggest and deepest american-led UN partnership with brac- in under a decade village mothers had been trained in oral rehydration for every infant and one village mother for every 300 had started to make a living trained by brac on what non-prescription medicines to sell and where to take villagers for nationwide vaccination -the extraordinary idea that abed and grand proved possible
6 1995 was an extraordinary year as seeds for future human development grow - china's jack ma happened to be on his first us visit in seattle as bezos was launching amazon- for the first time asians started to conceptualise online future world with as much think time as americans (even though it would be at least 10 years before chuia's rails and online would reach inland) ; meanwhile it was actually bangladesh that became the first least developed nation to enjoy experiments in mobiles for poorest villagers) accompanied by solar for charging; while grameen preceded brac in such partnerships, 1995-2019 was to be the era that sir fazle abed steadily started to maximise engineering for the poorest- and how brac went from rural national institution to global ngo partner - more
7 out of america microcreditsummit was launched as a huge multiplier of bangladeshi awareness in 1977 around muhammad yunus- this coincided with the second term of bill clinton- the clinton family having visited yunus before bill's presidency- in our view education or health world have been much more exciting and multidisciplinary identities to celebrate bottom-up economic design around- anyhow by the early 2000s all of jim kim paul farmer bill gates and george soros had started connecting with sir fazle abed's knowhow on last mile health networking - brac had always empowered health and education by and for village mothers as integral with finance in ways grameen ordinance 1983 legislated 11 years after brac's foundation as ngo in 1972
from 2000 fazle abed took brc international after a why not conversation with mrrs steve jobs and started a new wave of national leadership networks including brac university and brac citizeb bank... more

101ways-generation.docx 101 ways education can save the world WHAT IF WE DESIGNED LIFELONG LIVELIHOOD LOEARNING SO THAT so that teachers & students, parent & communities were empowered to be ahead of 100 times more tech rather than the remnants of a system that puts macihnes and their exhausts ahead of human life and nature's renewal 2016 is arguably the first time thet educatirs became front and centre to the question that Von neummn asked journalist to mediate back in 1951- what goods will peoples do with 100 times more tech per decade? It appears that while multilaterals like the Un got used in soundbite and twittering ages to claim they valued rifghts & inclusion, pubblic goods & safety, they fotgot theirUN tech twin in Genva has been practising global connectivity since 1865, that dellow Goats of V neumnn has chiared Intellectual Cooperation in the 1920s which pervesrely became the quasi trade union Unesco- it took Abedian inspired educations in 2016 ro reunite ed and tecah as well as health and trade ; 7 decades of the UN not valuing Numenn's question at its core is quite late, but if we dare graviate UN2 aeound this digital coperation question now we give the younger half if the world a chnace especially as a billion poorest women have been synchronised to deep community human development since 1970
