Abed on the E's of franchising- make sure first you are effective, then efficient, then expand -in reality BRAC's Oral Rehydration Knowledge Networking failed twice with small (ie 30000 person training experiments) before an effective training design was identified
worthy of scaling across ten million mothers

What Girls Can Teach the World

in 1974 there was a famine in one area of Bangladesh and I went there to try and do famnme relief work

0:04

and I found emaciated women and their malnourished babies,

all the men had left

16 and I thought that men abandon children when women don't- if you want to change our society we need to focus on women who are not going to abandon anyone

 

 

0:30 when we looked at our microfinance program we found that we had about 380000 women who were producing vegetables as a livelihood but we found that they didn't have high quality vegetable seeds so we went into seed multiplication as a business in order to supply our women with high quality seeds but then once we had gone into business not only did we supply our own clients but also we supplied throughout the country in terms of high quality seeds

1.00 so development automatically happened in terms of a more productive horticulture program across Bangladesh - so it was a combination of microfinnacial services, enterprises , training we provided our women

 

generally it was a holistic approach to development - micorfinance plus plus

- plus means providing women support in terms of inputs and services and training  , the other plus is providing them healthcare, education for their children - with this you can break the cycle of poverty- the next generation will not be poor

there was a Brazilian educator Paulo Freire whose book "Pegagogy of The Oppressed" came out in

 

his thesis was that the poor people are poor because they are powerless

2:02

you must organize people for power so they can then organize themselves in such a way; they must understand the dynmakics of theitr communities so that they change theor lives- so that book gave us a kind of franmework to try and develop people for power - so we set up 100 lessons in building self-wotrh of people and through that process you build self-confidence that they can change their condition , and gthat they don't have to livge im ;poverty and degaradation for ever

we go into a village - a filld worker who we call a Program Organisier (PO)
he goes intol a village and organsaise sybe a dozen [eople and form a group then you bring in more people until you have about 40 people,

they start to save before he full grouo is formed but pnce it is iin existence in a village organisation as we call; them - once group is complete we provide: credit, training programs like legal education so that they understand their rights and obligation - we link about 10 groups of 40 to on PO , and in average are office we have 20 PO's - so that as many as 8000 members per office - you replicate throughout the country - in 2007 that's 4.5 million members; in 2012 that's 8 million members- ; brac membership has been doubling every 3 to 5 years
