and most of the food (goal 2 end hunger) institutes of un -goal 2 is the only goal a nation's elade (irelands) has taken charge of - I deperately need to ask sir fazle to do a celtic ireland/scotland tour if we are ever permiited  to map english spaeking world with him - mostofa you know that guy we met at british embassy when war iccurered around yunus -he's now at china embassy - can you please phome up british embassy and see if they will give you his new email in china
maurice does your network permeate any italian embassies that my freidbs could be treaching - eg in china, bangaldesh, usa ...
in fact one of the food institutes was an early sponsor of yunus and more recently a sponsor of intel hq people in oregon - but mostofa maybe you could see if any of grameen intel people in dhaka still want tio discuss eagricultre apps
mostofa regarding my introduction to you to the king of cambodia's youth ambassador on climate - have you all at http://gycommunity.com  progressed that conversation with him yet? how do we reconnect sarah and prince charles and bbc natire corespondents in london - and tsighua brooking green

do you know any of these people  (in red below)-yuxuan chenmaking huge progress linking global youth out of beijing and her alma mater tsinghua (it takes half an hour to bucycke across china's top university) 
- it turns out that professor Lowrey from tsighua ispoke at this italian conference last summer (and is trusted by Jack Ma to lead one of his research institites)
this week was my first ever visit to beijing- spectacular global youth connecting thanks to yuxuan- she's hugely worth linking in with all your best friends 
one of yuxuan projects is a year as one of youth 500 village chieftains conneting global health solutions and apps and ... a movement started by a chinese student after he came back from yale and co-sponsored by jack ma

3 Reasons Why DFID's New Youth Agenda is Spot On

 who sponsored the world bank's 400 youth in development partners summit in 2 weeks time attended by amy and stephanie -mostofa at very least please ask everyone in brac's and bkash's leadership teams- who is there best contact in dfid to whom you can explain the 2 million doilar youth pitchng comoetition dubai nov 29  www.gycommunity.com to -

yuxuan and amy lets include questions on tsighua's ali tresearch  with DFID (if any) when this saturday you ask her Lowrey how to help jack ma's youth in development all over the world 

this is what they have just published about DFID (also known as ukaid)

Twenty-six years ago, I was fighting for democracy on the streets in Nepal. It was a difficult journey. Today, I support young social entrepreneurs as they strive to maximize their impact and build movements. What’s changed over the last quarter century are the tools and information young people have at their disposal to innovate solutions to a growing list of global challenges. What hasn’t changed is how little trust institutions and society at-large place in youth.

That’s precisely why I got excited when I read the UK Department for International Development’s (DFIDs) new Youth Agenda. By putting youth at the heart of its work, DFID is validating the struggle of hard-working, enterprising youth the world over who too often feel unheard and marginalized in their efforts to lead positive change. By saying outright what’s needed to support youth-led development, DFID’s policy serves as a model for businesses, philanthropies, and development organizations looking to invest in solutions to a range of issues—from climate change to improving the prospects of those living at the bottom of the socio-economic pyramid.

DFID’s plan is laudable for many reasons, but particularly these three: 

1. Reaching the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) simply can’t happen without the active engagement of youth. Implementation of the SDGs begins at the grassroots, where youth are at the forefront of efforts to lead positive change. In the business world, we’ve seen how dynamic young innovators have revolutionized entire industries. The development world is a different story, with experience and a proven track record still more valued than innovation and risk-taking. We need to change this mindset if we’re to truly achieve the SDGs. Supporting today’s young doers and trailblazers isn’t just a nice thing to do, it’s wise and imperative. 

2. As part of youth's transition into a productive adulthood, we need to see them empowered to challenge social norms. The world is changing rapidly, to the point that many of today’s students are being prepared for jobs that don’t yet exist. The education and training we do provide needs to equip young people with the essential life skills,perseverance, and grit to successfully navigate this fast-changing landscape. Learning also needs to be more experiential and market-relevant, with a premium placed on nurturing youth agency if today’s young people are to assume roles as productive citizens, capable of challenging the status quo.

3. Amplifying young people’s voices in decision-making requires a new approach. Technology has transformed young people’s ability to catalyze their peers around critical development issues—fostering the growth of open societies online. Youth are voicing their opinions in networked, informal, unstructured ways—with real impact. We need non-traditional mechanisms to support such voices. Take, for example, Jhatkaa a youth-led NGO in India that’s successfully mobilized more than 100,000 citizens to take action to protect women’s rights and combat discrimination. The onus is on us to leverage these voices—and today’s young movement builders—if we’re going to hold governments and leaders accountable, and create lasting change. 

Last month marked the one-year anniversary of the Nepal earthquake, which galvanized the nation’s youth in ways that surpassed institutional responses when it came to providing direct aid to those in need. It’s this energy, passion, and commitment that we need to capitalize on—not just during times of crisis—but every day. If young people can demonstrate this level of grit and perseverance during a disaster, just imagine what they can do when it comes to overcoming pressing challenges in their communities and nations. I’m privileged to witness the power of youth-led social change through the more than 1,350 young social entrepreneurs supported through IYF’s YouthActionNet®initiative and its network of 23 national and regional youth leadership institutes. I can say from experience that the hope and optimism of these dedicated change-makers is contagious.

more -if the mess that is dead-aid and trap students in debt (and top-down theory of zero sustaionable use to anyone) from the 2 main countries speaking english concerns you

reasons why not just brits should be interested in dfid

hasnt previously fully coordunated with british council - therefore missed out on amy's idea that all yoiuth in development need to speak english and chinese and can mainly peer to peer mentor each other;s missing language; has coordinated at all woith prince charles energies to empower youth to green energise the world

dfid over the yeras has been number 1 investor in brac

ukaid has its problems but its not the completely broken system that usaid has satted under obama (and will worsen under hilary or trump) -namely that it permanently subcontarcts to 5000 old people who neither want youth in development nor value chain analysis to examine how expensive their siloised knowledge is  (there is one chinese lady who has been given a new free pass to refrom usaid whoi made a very interesting talk 2 months ago on how could she redesign usaid to be like BRAC!)  ; but otherwise so much subcontracting of siloised projects results in soft issues like culture never being integrated by anyone allocating budgets in DC - and what with american mass media - i am sorry to say that america's youth (except boston's) includeng my 19 year old daughter are the most clueless race on cultural diversity and so incapabke of collabratively leading peace and sustainability goals across borders- americas university system makes any chnace of merican youth being the most cilabirative in develoment next to zero ; lets be clear if american youth can make great twin or triple nations youth friend partnerships americans can add a lot but cultuiral translation isnt going to be what they bring to the party

amy's world class media mentors- best able to promote her as her age's and country's greatest storytellerare in uk and we depsrately need to hook up with ian ryders projects including the lady who is successsful in finance in city of london whose 2 main things are developing woemn and the un awareness-action part of goals called everyones project

quite literally brits need the new BBC (Bangla Britain China) to celebrate good news storytelling youth exchanges beween bangladesh, britain and china- that way these 3 countries have the greatest gifts to youth around the worlkd - the 2 most commoin langiages and the greates open source solutions ti sustainabiloity- so rest of europe and usa will have to come begging to reunite social fre emarkets instead of trump usa building wall with china and europe uniion building wall with britian

there is a special twist for scotland alma mater to sir fazle and origin of youth and end poverty being in the middle of economic system designs; and ireland has a huge opportunity as te rfest of the european union falls apart as it pursues pope francis description of it as a region designed around the needs of infertile haggard gransmothers - not an open space for youth job creation

KERRY GLASGOWIS HUMANITY'S LAST BEST CHANCE - Join search for Sustainaabilty's Curricula

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

Dear Robert - you kindly asked for a short email so that you could see if there is a CGTN anchor in east coast who might confidentially share views with my expectation of how only Asian young women cultural movements (parenting and community depth but amplified by transparent tech in life shaping markets eg health, food, nature..) can return sustainability to all of us
three of my father's main surveys in The Economist 1962-1977 explain imo where future history will take us (and so why younger half of world need friendship/sustainable adaptation with Chinese youth -both on mainland and diaspora)
 1962 consider japan approved by JF Kennedy: argued good news - 2 new economic models were emerging through japan korea south and taiwan relevant to all Asia Rising (nrxt to link the whole trading/supply chains of the far east coast down through hong kong and cross-seas at singapore)
1 rural keynsianism ie 100% productivity in village first of all food security- borlaug alumni ending starvation
2 supercity costal trade models which designed hi-tech borderless sme value chains- to build a 20 million person capital or an 8 million person superport you needed the same advances in engineering - partly why this second economic model was win-win for first time since engines begun Glasgow 1760 ; potentially able to leverage tech giant leaps 100 times ahead; the big opportunity von neumann had gifted us - knowhow action networking multiply value application unlike consuming up things
1976 entrepreneurial revolution -translated into italian by prodi - argued that future globalisation big politics big corporate would need to be triangularised by community scaled sme networks- this was both how innovation advancing human lot begins and also the only way to end poverty in the sense of 21st C being such that next girl born can thrive because every community taps in diversity/safety/ valuing child and health as conditions out of which intergenerational economic growth can spring
in 1977 fathers survey of china - argued that there was now great hope that china had found the system designs that would empower a billion people to escape from extreme poverty but ultimately education of the one child generation (its tech for human capabilities) would be pivotal ( parallel 1977 survey looked at the futures of half the world's people ie east of iran)
best chris macrae + 1 240 316 8157 washington DC
IN MORE DETAIL TECH HUMAN EXPONENTIALS LAST CHANCE DECADE? 
 - we are in midst of unprecedented exponential change (dad from 1960s called death of distance) the  tech legacy of von neumann (dad was his biographer due to luckily meeting him in his final years including neumann's scoping of brain science (ie ai and human i) research which he asked yale to continue in his last lecture series). Exponential risks of extinction track to  mainly western top-down errors at crossroads of tech  over last 60 years (as well as non transparent geonomic mapping of how to reconcile what mainly 10 white empires had monopoly done with machines 1760-1945 and embedded in finance - see eg keynes last chapter of general theory of money); so our 2020s destiny is conditioned by quite simple local time-stamped details but ones that have compounded so that root cause and consequence need exact opposite of academic silos- so I hope there are some simple mapping points we can agree sustainability and chinese anchors in particular are now urgently in the middle of
Both my father www.normanmacrae.net at the economist and I (eg co-authoring 1984 book 2025 report, retranslated to 1993 sweden's new vikings) have argued sustainability in early 21st c will depend mostly on how asians as 65% of humans advance and how von neumann (or moores law) 100 times more tech every decade from 1960s is valued by society and business.
My father (awarded Japan's Order of Rising Sun and one time scriptwriter for Prince Charles trips to Japan) had served as teen allied bomber command burma campaign - he therefore had google maps in his head 50 years ahead of most media people, and also believed the world needed peace (dad was only journalist at messina birth of EU ) ; from 1960 his Asian inclusion arguments were almost coincidental to Ezra Vogel who knew much more about Japan=China last 2000 years ( additionally  cultural consciousness of silk road's eastern dynamics not golden rule of Western Whites) and peter drucker's view of organisational systems
(none of the 10 people at the economist my father had mentored continued his work past 1993- 2 key friends died early; then the web turned against education-journalism when west coast ventures got taken over by advertising/commerce instead of permitting 2 webs - one hi-trust educational; the other blah blah. sell sell .sex sell. viral trivial and hate politicking)
although i had worked mainly in the far east eg with unilever because of family responsibilities I never got to china until i started bumping into chinese female graduates at un launch of sdgs in 2015- I got in 8 visits to beijing -guided by them around tsinghua, china centre of globalisation, a chinese elder Ying Lowrey who had worked on smes in usa for 25 years but was not jack ma's biographer in 2015 just as his fintech models (taobao not alibaba) were empowering villagers integration into supply chains; there was a fantastic global edutech conference dec 2016 in Tsinghua region (also 3 briefings by Romano Prodi to students) that I attended connected with  great womens education hero bangladesh's fazle abed;  Abed spent much of hs last decade hosting events with chinese and other asian ambassadors; unite university graduates around sdg projects the world needed in every community but which had first been massively demonstrated in asia - if you like a version of schwarzman scholars but inclusive of places linking all deepest sustainability goals challenges 
and i personally feel learnt a lot from 3 people broadcasting from cgtn you and the 2 ladies liu xin and  tian wei (they always seemed to do balanced interviews even in the middle of trump's hatred campaigns), through them I also became a fan of father and daughter Jin at AIIB ; i attended korea's annual general meet 2017 of aiib; it was fascinating watching bankers for 60 countries each coming up with excuses as to why they would not lead on infrastructure investments (even though the supercity economic model depends on that)
Being a diaspora scot and a mathematician borders (managers who maximise externalisation of risks) scare me; especially rise of nationalist ones ;   it is pretty clear historically that london trapped most of asia in colomisdation ; then bankrupted by world war 2 rushed to independence without the un or anyone helping redesign top-down systems ; this all crashed into bangladesh the first bottom up collaboration women lab ; ironically on health, food security, education bangladesh and chinese village women empowerment depended on sharing almost every village microfranchise between 1972 and 2000 especially on last mile health networking
in dads editing of 2025 from 1984 he had called for massive human awareness by 2001 of mans biggest risk being discrepancies in incomes and expectations of rich and poor nations; he suggested that eg public broadcast media could host a reality tv end poverty entrepreneur competition just as digital media was scaling to be as impactful as mass media
that didnt happen and pretty much every mess - reactions to 9/11, failure to do ai of epidemics as priority from 2005 instead of autonomous cars, failure to end long-term carbon investments, subprime has been rooted in the west not having either government nor big corporate systems necessary to collaboratively value Asian SDG innovations especially with 5g
I am not smart enough to understand how to thread all the politics now going on but in the event that any cgtn journalist wants to chat especially in dc where we could meet I do not see humans preventing extinction without maximising chinese youth (particularly womens dreams); due to covid we lost plans japan had to relaunch value of female athletes - so this and other ways japan and china and korea might have regained joint consciousness look as if they are being lost- in other words both cultural and education networks (not correctly valued by gdp news headlines) may still be our best chance at asian women empowerment saving us all from extinction but that needs off the record brainstorming as I have no idea what a cgtn journalist is free to cover now that trump has turned 75% of americans into seeing china as the enemy instead of looking at what asian policies of usa hurt humans (eg afghanistan is surely a human wrong caused mostly by usa); a; being a diaspora scot i have this naive idea that we need to celebrate happiness of all peoples an stop using media to spiral hatred across nations but I expect that isnt something an anchor can host generally but for example if an anchor really loves ending covid everywhere then at least in that market she needs to want to help united peoples, transparency of deep data etc
