Among many legacy problems inherited from British Empire across Asia; world war 2 had bankrupt Britain- so many colonies got independence with no transition. Arguably 50 hardest jobs ever pooped up: leading a new nation that had been a colony the day before; weirdly Bangladesh's short straw being assigned to pakistan to lead for 25 yeras 1947-1971 caused the innovation of aid 2.0 from 1971 - the nation's new gov barely had the revenues to organise 10% living in cities and national security : 90% rural peoples were left to networking Bangladesh Rural Advancement Cooperations-fortunatly they united around probably the most qualified and caring chartered accountant 20th C south asia would ever see; he would say it wasnt him but the wmen and those who chose to unite round gifts such as ortal rehydration - he knew where to search for community replicable solutions having been the regional ceo for royal dutch shell until half a million peopke around him were killed by a cyclone and as the work of immediate releif work turned to what next, shell sided with west pakistan army against independence movement- abed flew back to london to sell his putney flat (about 40000$), resign frok shell, and be ready to help with bottom up womens nations building - here are 5 intertgenerational solutions taking half a century to integrate - womens nation building of G1 funance G2 food security G3 health G4 ed G5 massive cooperation women emotional intel and resilience and a segway from centuries of no electricity to 21st C leapfrogging with mobile solar and SDG mapmaking cooperations uniting peoples futures

Educators needed to help with any of 30 collaborations making alumni of fazle abed the world's largest partnership in future of civil society and womens sustainability goals www.economistwomen.com
do you have any connections with the netherlands- this is where abed's ideas on how bangladesh can share solutions/rural adaptations world needs on climate, and many ways of leapfrog social-business models 1 2 with technology both to end poverty, empower women, maximise middle class, progress both urban and rural youth can find optimal global partners
if you are interested in future of technology - look at this OECD paper -any questions?
** university graduate collaborations are the way to scale futures we need - do you work on 1) ultra poor, 2 playschool 3 anything else brac university and barcelona global university are celebrating worldwide 2022
Can you help us clarify (what Schumacher imagined as)  the greatest economic miracle by cataloguing  microfranchises and value chains designed round billion poorest village women across Asia; that's the eighth of the human population who raced over last half century to end extreme poverty whose historical "root cause"was how the British Empire had deprived much of Asian continent of access to the machine age that had started glasgow 1760; for 2 centuries access to engineering was mostly distributed where white empires gained...
we start catalogue of 1billiongirls.com with Sir Fazle Abed BA Engineering Glasgow (brac) Bangladesh 1972 to 2019 - some dates are approximate - a date before 1996 means all instruction and people networking was done by word of mouth or by print where literacy existed; definition: by microfranchise we mean a (massively reporiceable) village busienss with positve cash flow however small but 1) so as to minimise risk to franchisee as long as she worked consistently as franchised and where the purpose was for most or all of the value to stay with the local producer; abed was quite happy to design franchises and once proven hand them over to government (because bangladesh began 90% rural the government initially had barely enough to serve citizens and national defences; later its taxation revenue could take over any microfranchise (eg schools) whose cashflow depended partly on grants; abed was always careful not to compete with government but civil society prioritised both rural keynsianism and entrepreneurial revolution by optmising microfranchise design and celebrating sustainable COLLABs;

Giant Leapfroging for womankind: after 1995 some partners brought solar and mobile (digitalisation of global villages meant "you can hear me now" for the first time in quarter of a millennium); also 2001 Abed started a university - at millennium goals parties in silicon valley, he had been asked to share his solutions worldwide...
and So Abed imagined how a university would enable millennials women empowerment to maximally co-create new solutions in line with the Abed/Schumpeter economic model as well as directly action learn how millennials raced to unite the first Sustainability Generation- we welcome corrections -errors are sollely mine chris.macrae@yahoo.uk - to start with 2 notes:probably abed's biggest mistake (which he enetreperenurially turned into a miracle) was spending his life savings on rebuilding 15000 village homes that had been flattened by wae; while sponsor oxfam ranked this as most effective relief project, Abed was mortified; tens of village mothers were dying weekly of starvation; scores of infants of diarrhea; he urgently had to design business solutions solving these local needs; once brac needed a central hub. one of its first operational services was a printing press

i will start with asking ed resor to phone you - ed coordinates open learning contents Module Search - OER2Go - The Web Unplugged  - it would be great imo to see arctic content there
From everything I can see there are huge win-wins with your goals and various chinese elearning platforms, AI teachers assistants, big data for youth analysis and community-deep research areas - ultimately tsinghua university and jack ma are the most connected epiecentres but i think 2 people who are semi-dc based can help arrange contacts and/or clarify if my optimisim is correct
cheng li at brookings - i will see if he will let me book a meeting
mary young who usually lets me book a meeting when she is in dc - but who is in beijing to memorial day- I will see if she heels able to take Q&A online
From my experience of the tufts summit that max has several years of arranging there are many youth who want to connect elearning platforms - maybe max can clarify what is best way to help them linkin
When it comes specicfcally to polar-nature knowledge i will write a leter to cousteau to see if he knows how to access my friend paul rose who is bbc ocean and polar explorer and in middle of uk people which go up to prince charles as well as across britiish council climate champions etc
At Economistdiary.com I try to maintain diary of leadership summits which impact all the things we talked about - much is converging theough 2 summits whose main contents are being chose by UN emiinent committee which includes Norway's Solberg



1 at united nations general aasssembly sept 2018 where guterres has asked best elearning for refugees and other excluded youth 
2 macron paris march 2019 which i assume will have a lot on climate - also my daugther is an undergraduate in education and french so i have personal motovation to maximise french networks over next 12 months
Additionally Canada's Trudeau and Jack Ma are extremely close as can be seen at how they hosted 3000 people training at toronto recently Gateway '17
Fathers last 2 projects sponsored over 20 visists by youth journalists to china and bangladesh
Some chinese students at columbia and oxford have been asked to help reposition bangladesh's girl empowerment networks round BIllion Girls Boys Alumni - ie the billion youth who most need community livelihood education because their communities face the most extreme sustainability challenges - this is where my frends in Bangladesh  brac. - a guide to collaboration's best for the world organisations are already responsible for up to 150 million village alumni mainly female
My understanding is that education (his reponsibility for half a billion under 30s livelihoods) is one of 4 things xi jinping always discusses when he convenes leadership summits even if this doesnt show up so much in recently published polar belt road- i am expecting may 2019 beijing summit  Belt Road 2 to connect the 100 national and rghional leaders who can invest most in sustaining youth
If i can be of help clarifying anything very happy to try ( I do not claim to understand all the politics going on round DC  - any optimism errors are mine alone)

I attach a one-pager of city by city notes in a different type of format; i will be developing this with more acrive links - if you wish to see this please say
