brac the world's only bottom up accounting firm & & &

Extract : BRAC - the world's largest ngo partnership has many moving parts- both at its headquarters in Dhaka, and wherever its biggest partners are located and apply sdgs to empower communities poorest women build across generations - eg dfid/ukaid in london, gates in seattle, tech wizards at MIT and dubai and hangzhou ...

In Dhaka:
the head office of the field force which in many cases is also where decisions are made on leading a national market place -eg leadership enterprises of poultry, diary, rice science

when it come to finance brac has a leadership position for poorest in every segment - eg ultra graduation from gift of  working capital to microloan, microfinance ++ , brac banks in cities where second generation village girls now often work, to remittances up to a third of the nations inward monetary flows come from bangladeshis working abroad, to the number 1 digital banking model for the poorest www.bkash.com

brac also has a barefoot lawyers network; when eg cities expand how do villagers gain not lose from urban encroachment -also how to help villagers make sure that waste is not dumped on them

over years sir fazle abed has needed to redesign market leadership at least 4 levels
1 village - brac does not willingly offer loans to village wwomn unless b rac can ensure there is a market for their [roduces

200000 villages - we define a micrfranchises as the opposite to mcdonalds- it is diligent service operation replicable across communities but that value produecd stays largely or wghily with the local producers - in this case usually family size enterprises run by village mothers

national - as for example in the case of the enterprises

global as for example in the way that brac has transformed both aid and village investment, and the partnerships needed to sustain development through generations, and indeed why anyone scoping curriculum for each sdg should make sure they havent forgotten any deepest solutions brac has experientially developed with girls facing extreme chalenges

brac also started a university in 1999- this had to fund itself so started as comparable in some ways with other national universities but where students knew they would be expected to spend one term developing a village project- today we the university needs relationship with asia's top 10 almost as much as the west top 10 university of development economics needs relationships with it- with 47 years of 84 year old's sir fazle's learning curve to tgp into - there are end poverty partnersrhip models to integrate through every level of technology- much of india also has a lot top learn from brac -if cultural translations would be found, the microfranchi9ses  the poorest need to replicate are very similar (borderless even) if you live in a humid village , still in many cases with no access to infrastructure grids. needing to maximise community resiliency

brac has always been a world ;leader in what last mile health services village comuniities can learn to be self-sufficient in - in fact ath the founding core of BTAC. this  raised mothers and infants life expectations sufficiently for family sizes t0p come down and women to plan a working life in addition to children- the university has a james grant public school of health which is vosited by experts around teh world

tech including mobile village phones and microsolar started coming to villages from 1996- sir fazle abed wasnt in a hurry- and retrospectively it can bee seen that he was operated to wait for some of the world's best tech partners to come together and want to help with technology leapfroging - however this can make visiting brac quite complex if undestand how and where it a tech world leader- it also makes it difficult for understanding how brac becamse the world's largest livelihood educator- i havent seen anywhere write that up in a way that begins to celebrate brac living up to paulo freire view that the poorest and youngest are teachhers as well as learners

here's an analogy i suggest for those who dont really know how much of brac they have seen


========================= the testing of various tech models - here just as when I used to work at a global accounting firm - the etch office is as much virtual or global in terms of where the next leadership of the tech is integrated and while i think i know who many of the tech wizards are .. there is no point trying to write up  case study of what works as its detailed micro-dynamics will be out of date in its partnership permutations and next tech features- making this more complex is digital and real infrastructure investments across continental asia drive each other- and while bottom up networkers need to respect the rules of the world of nations, evolution cant wait for ten year plans when your community is the ultra test case of a life critical sdg

LONGER VERSION chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk

How did brac directly help with sustaining a billion womens poorest livelihoods and as the the largest ngo partnership impact far more than that?

 12 years of studying how to value brac's brand leadership i still dont know in the way  i have chartered the reality of various global brands. One reason being how much has changed every decade around bangladesh, south asia, the whole of aaia and the world. If building brac was a game of chess sir fazle abed has sequenced the emotionally smartest 50 hi-trust moves of just about any leader over 47 years - certainly one concerned with all actionable SDGs that now 3 generations of poorest village mothers and children can interconnect if digital inclusion is celebrated

Let's consider the analogy of the big global accounting firm two of whose brands worked on through the 1990s and through to the disappearance of Andersen. Their leaders did pretty much anything to choose the biggest or best clients in each sector.

MULTIPLY by SMALL'S BEAUTIFUL, LARGE SCALE ESSENTIAL
Sir Fazle abed has chosen to linkin pretty much the most scaleable solutions discoverable if you started by changing your job from national ceo of shell to making your headquarters in a bangladesh village region (no electricity 1972) with millions dying around you through cyclone, war or starvation, Action Learning The values of resiliency  starting as the worlds first bottom-up disaster relief network evolving into girls deepest development networking through hundreds of thousands of village bhubs, he could earn the most important trusts, and unlike other disater relief agencies who fly in and then elave before development - he stayed searching out most desperate needs and solutions that could livelihood education and changing market's value chains could multiply

SDGs 1-5 are the deepest most urgent if you are villager starting with nothing SDG 1 poverty 2 hunger 3 health 4 education 5 ending women as underclass. But brac also needed to earn everyone's trust as financier and be the one stop hub for every village resiliency lesson-livelihood. Two huge solutions of the early 1970s - borlaug's crop science particularly rice could become a livelihodd earner for huge numbers of village mothers and saving infants through oral rehydration gained respect for what only smart womens networking can do.

Lets fast forward - what are the overlapping partenrships as brac and bangladesh and the world faces the 2020s - a strange time w3hen urgent application of tech has never benn more important but in the english speaking world the most powerfu; ublic servants and media seem to have lost confidence in empowering youth or indded any of us who try to develop families and communities across generations.

Internationally brac is the ebnchmark for finacial and livelihood education development - it has models that attract leaders in etch for sdgs like Bil and Melinda Gaytes and Jack Ma.

Natuionally it has a leading positin in over 10 makets so the wholle value chains maxisise marklet participation by the poorest .

Locally particularly in banagldesh and the myanar bodre it ahs up to 100000 servants in the filed many who have only evfer worked for or with brac.

Depending what you want to learn- that mkeans there are veery different subetorks of bra you might want to co-partner in innovation if you have a win-win to buuld with. In tryimg to observe which of brac's most trusted partners start where I would suggest that serious people working on the edge of the deepest sdg crises choose from these gaeways

In Dhaka:
the head office of the filed force which in many cases is also decison are made on leading a national market place -eg leadeship of poultry, diary, rice science

the university needs relationship iwth asia's top 10 almost as much as the west top 10 university of development economics needs relationships with it

the etsting of various tech models - here just as when I used to work at a global accounting firm - the etch office is as much vi9rtal or global in terms of where the next leadership of the tech is integrated and while i thinko i know whpo many of the tech wizards are - they prefer to get on with things ou publpicise their own next clls for innovation hubbing will take place- as in so much tech timing is crucial- thyere i9s no point trying to write up  case sudy of what worls as it will be out of date in its partenrship permuttions and next tech features- making this more complex is digiotal and real infarstructure investments across contuental asia drive each other- and while bootom uo networkers need to erspect the ruels of the wprld of nations, evolution cant wait for ten yera plans when your community is the ultra test case of a life criti9cal sdg

worldwide - brac has tow sorts of presemces- implementation offices serving one country which it often sets up with one elad fundaing or tech partner- so i thonk of bgrac tanzania as the lab with bill gates foundation or other african

JIM KIM on BRAC -80th happy birthday sir fazle from Jim KIm (video) ...I first met sir fazle abed more than a decade ago...Of course I heard about his work im years – in every area of development brac has been such an innovator such a leader such scale that we knew about his achievement but I have to say everything changed me when I met him, to this day sir fazle abed is in my mind of the greatest role models of servant leaders I have ever witnessed- the scale of what he has done but the utter humility is a lesson for everyone of us working I development – for sir fazle abed everything has always been about making sure women are in power, that children have education, making sure that tuberculosis patients actually get better – we have so much to learn from brac but even more as individuals every single one of us from sir fazle abed

Text us (usa 240 316 8157) if you nominate a greater partner in future of youth than BRAC and its families of brands including the world largest cashless bankBkash.com
Search how BRAC's essence - growing the lifelong opportunities of girls starting with the poorest famiilies in the world - has made it a benchmark in any market or society diversely serious about valuing youth, as well as any partnership of Youth In Development-or look at some of BRAC's investment partners in intergerational joy.
Discuss what youth's brainstorming session for Sir Fazle Abed's 80th birthday of wishes could include
1 who he wants to co-speak where at next in poverty world series of tedx (eg kim farmer, some wizard open tech people and other choices of george soros) -whether this can coincide with glasgow uni awarding their most valuable alumni since adam smith- award to be led by chancellor muscatelli, seconded by gordon brown un envoy for education -first agreed 18 month ago after wporld bank tedx
2 who he chooses as his first 10 partners calling for micrtoeducation summit -how is this related to the 2 elearning nation platform races - bangladesh and india -discussed continnously since norman macrea remebrance party chief guest sir fazle abed, host japan ambassador to dhaka
3 why brac needs a youth correspondence office in biejing before november 5 -this is when WISE foirst comes to beijong- WISE was launched around Sir Fazle Abed as its inaugural education laureate
4 why his head of brac africa needs to connect with yuxuan on liberia [pan africa youth summit - (in extending brac to africa a major national partrner and first youth action network is chosen - George Soros nominated Liberia . Soros has since celebrated Sir Fazle as the greatest open society laureate
5 nations including bangladesh and india are suddenly announcing elearning nation platforms; in bangladesh BRAC was first into elearning content co=creation in 2007? ' UN envoy to educagtion chief of staff is searching who's going to be first to leapfrog education (eg the way alibaba's design in china leapfrog's supply chains so that SMEs maximise value - opposite to Wall Mart patterns ruling USA hinterland)
6 taking womens ceo girls breaking through glass ceiling network to every bottom-up and top-down partner we can trust
7 mapping which hubs ,science colleges and supercoders need to be linkedin around fair fazle abed family and where this already connects dubai, mit and leapfrog coding models -to start to include ip companies in china and outside china that want to world trade in ways their IP is fair for all- ultimately costs of the total value chain need transparency - you all know the story of tetrapak one of the most disgraceful ip stories of the 20th c
8 given that sir fazle has every elelent of comumnity banking value chain for the poor (Ultra Poor, BRAM Microcredit PLus, BRAC Bank. Bkash) except a wall steet sustainability investment bank, how do we help him find the right partner for that 9,10 to comr
========================================================================================
Review latest brief on BRAC written april 2016 to celebrate founder Sir Fazle Abed's 80th biurtday HAPPY 80th BIRTHDAY – Sor Fazle Abed, BRAC, Bangladesh 45 Years of Building the Most Valuable Network on Sustainability Youth’s Planet
1 RESILIENCE NOT JUST RELIEF –INNOVATION’s CORE OF BOTTOM-UP DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS The seeds of BRAC were planted in the efforts of Sir Fazle and friends to assist families affected by the Brola cyclone in 1970. BRAC was then officially established after independence, supporting refugees to rebuild their lives. At a critical early juncture , we abandoned our focus on relief and adopted a longer-term objective of development, opting to work side by side with community members for decades to come.
We do not ignore emergencies and their impact on people living in poverty. We build community preparedness and grassroots platforms that activate in natural disasters to minimize damage and to channel relief. Our goal is to help households bounce back better.
Better often means changes such as stronger infrastructure or new livelihoods for families that depend on agriculture, for example, and are therefore increasingly vulnerable to climate change.
As Bangladesh urbanizes, we have expanded our focus to include manmade disasters like fires and building collapses, most recently Rana Plaza in 2013.
Massive natural disasters internationally have triggered us to expand into new countries like Haiti and Nepal to support national recovery the way we did in Bangladesh so many years ago
2 Healthy Lives and healthy futures Doctors and hospitals were scarce in Bangladesh’s early days. We created an army of community-based entrepreneurs to bring medicine to every doorstep. Over time, the army became all female, challenging social norms and enabling women to access important products and information
We challenged the global health community by putting the life saving treatment for diarrheal disease in the “unqualified” hands of mothers, and generated evidence that they could use it effectively. We created a community-based tuberculosis control model, expanding over time to become the government’s largest partner in combating the disease. The growing numbers of people living in poverty in urban areas face serios health risks, including maternal and infant mortality. Our network of healthcare entrepreneurs continues to ensure that women can access care safely, quickly, and with dignity.
Recent breakthroughs in cognitive science have shown that focusing on early childhood development has transformative effects over a lifetime. Pilot programmes are putting this research into action at the grassroots level
The primary challenge of healthcare now is less about access and more about quality. We are building financial tools to continuously ensure more people can access services that meet their evolving health needs.
3 EDUCATION FROM LITERACY TO LEADERSHIP We started by teaching basic literacy to adults, then realised we needed to start from the start. We changed lour nor-formal primary schools as “second chances’ for people living in poverty especially girls. Our pedagogy focused on joyful learning, incorporating the best practices from around the world.
As students graduated from our schools. We felt a need for creative ways to continue learning beyond the classroom. Libraries offered reading materials, and adolescent clubs created safe spaces and opportunities to teach life skills.
Our focus moved towards quality, with universal access towards education in sight, through strategies such as teacher training and increased use of technology. We proactively recruited students with special needs and expanded our curriculum into multiple ethnic languages to ensure that our schools were successful to all children.
Our ultiimate goal is to build a nation, and for that we need leaders. That is where our focus is now – creating opportunities for youth to take responsibilities in programmes, as mentors, and as teachers themselves. Our university creates even more opportunities to contribute on a global scale.
4 Financial Inclusion We started by bringing people living in poverty together. We quickly learnt that what they needed most urgently was access to economic opportunities and financial services.
We brought women together into village organizations to organize credit and savings arrangements, and then used these meetings as a platform by delivering a wider range of services.
Over time, we expanded our reach to unserved populations, such as the “missing middle” (enterprises that were too large for the loans offered by microfinance but excluded from commercial banks) and a comprehensive grants based programme for people living with poverty, who could not benefit from microfinance.
We are now building a broader set of financial products, including insurance and pensions, and leveraging the growing ownership of mobile phones to use digital channels for financial services.
5 Market Solutions for the Poor A fundamental driver is a lack of power – at the individual, household and community level alike... Power dynamics need to change in order for people living in poverty to realize their potential , and they only change when people do it themselves.
We promoted consciousness raising and empowerment from our earliest interactions with communities, inspired by teachings on social movements. We underestimated the complexity of power dynamics though and learned the hard way that we needed to create new organisations, where women could come together in solidarity. These community action groups became important social platforms; for example, supporting health workers who faced harassment for their services.
We widened our work over time to help people living in poverty to participate in formal government structures and leverage public services. We also increased our engagement with public official and village leaders to build wider support for women’s empowerment. These discussions have risen to the national level, where we advocate policies that support gender equality and human rights. Internally we have worked to build a female-friendly work environment and actively strive to recruit women.
Gender equality remains one of the greatest unfinished works of our generation, and an area in which we have to continue changing power dynamics. We still see that child marriage is the norm, sexual violence is pervasive, and women are under-represented in the workforce.
6 Changing Power Dynamics As we began to provide financial services to people living in poverty, we noticed that many rural communities did not have access to markets
We started building value chains, connecting thousands of farmers and artisans to national markets. We focused on silk, poultry, clothing and retail, in many cases the viability of new sectors in Bangladesh. The successful scaling up of one value chain often spawned new livelihood opportunities, from poultry vaccinations to artificial insemination for dairy cows.
Entrepreneurship is also a long standing part of our development approach. Over time we have built a national cadre of local change agents, usually women, who receive training and support from us, but are paid for their services by their neighbours. These grassroots entrepreneurs distribute a wide variety of products and services, from sanitary napkins to high quality seeds.
As local and global labor markets offer new opportunities. We are supporting migrants to seek and finance work abroad safely, and equip youth with in-demand skills
7 BRAC INTERNATIONAL By 2002 we had over 30 years experience of piloting and perfecting programs, and scaling them to reach millions. The time had come to bring what we had learnt in Bangladesh to the rest of the world.
Relief and rehabilitation were immediate needs after war and natural disasters plunged millions into poverty in Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. We focused on peace and building stability through jobs, education and financial inclusion, continuing to put girls and women at the centre of opportunities.
We expanded into Africa four years later, starting development programs in Tanzania and Uganda. We continued to pilot, perfect and scale rapidly never losing focus on contextualising every opportunity created
Opening now in 12 countries gives us a rich knowledge base to further our work in Bangladesh, while providing us with a global network in which to pilot new solutions for the world’s problems. In 2016, we create opportunities for one in every 50 people in the world.

INTRO Youth (roughly half the world under 30) is the last of 3 generations that will win or lose sustainability. UN has 17 Sustainability Goals 1 End poverty...2 Zero hunger...3 Good health & wellbeing...4 Quality education... 5 Gender equality...6 Clean water and sanitation 7 Affordable land and clean energy...8 Decent work and economic growth...9 Industry innovation and infrastructure...10 Reduced inequalities...11 Sustainable cities and communities...12 Responsible consumption and production 13 Climate action...14 Life below water...15 Life on land...16 Peace and justice- strong institutions...17...partnerships for the goals
YOUTH PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIPS (and Goal 17) also known at world bank as Youth in Development UN and other institutes talk about Public Private Partnerships-GlobalYouth50000.com including associates GYcommunity.com take the view that if these are not triangularised by youth's livelihoods actions and solutions leveraging 4000 fold increase in Larning Communications Technolgues then we are not compounding a worldwide system design capable of achieving goals by #2030 . Moreover irreveribile consequences will likely mean youth will witness suatainblity being expeoentaly lost around the planet
20 years ago Bangladesh became the first pverty develoment lab for testing mobile solutuons. Pretty miuch any valuable development solution today has a post-digital compoent but often integrated around a bottom-up structure whose patterning emerged from pre-digital period. In our sustainability goal solution catalogue that folows, we start with brac as benchmark solutions to know about. BRAC has integrated pre and post- digoital structirews with an amazing list of partners making it the number 1 NGO, WISE's favorite education newtork and much more.
Sustainabilty Goal #1 end poverty favorite goal 1 invitation comes jim kims training on social movements to end poverty which is your favorite s-goal training? Solutions to action learn from BRAC as world’s number 1 partner in the race to end poverty and progress the 17 sustainability goals

end poverty -GOal 1

What? – the most basic goal is to end broken systems around the world such that babies may be born into a place have next to zero chance of life and livelihood.Q4 of the 20th C began with the such a probability being one in four. BRAC began bottom-up in places devastated by a cyclone and war of independence with generations of illiteracy and rural ie with no electricity, no running water, no telecommunications, and little access to transport systems other than a rickshaw and muddy pathways.
How? Replicating low cost action learning solutions growing community’s self-sufficiency Most efficient and effective model – Preferential Option Poor. Professional lives and learns with the poorest, also diagnosing broken systems bring in other relevant professionals to help end these; preferentially applying advances in technology to ending poverty; promoting faith/hope in the community that inter-generational progress is being made.
BRAC has applied networking models currently geared to being 90% self-sustainable. Founder Sir Fazle Abed says needing to find 10% new funds each year corresponds to wanting to continue to be the most innovative agent in the world of human development.
MAIN GOAL 1 LESSON –OPEN SOCIETY NETWORK (SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS) Over its first 45 years, BRAC has led practice cases of all of these models of being self-sustaining
-charity with positive cash flow -business with a higher purpose -redesigning a value chain to lead it, empower smallest/poorest to earn a good livelihood, make an overall profit from such market leadership invested back into BRAC -being a governments outsourced social solution -designing digital apps to go beyond missing infrastructure or beyond zero-sum trade (eg networking actionable learning can multiply value in use unlike the zero-sum scarcity models of consuming up things) -open learning both as comprising a network of over 100000 bottom-up educators and publishing failures along the way of designing microfranchises that were tested to be effective and efficient before being exploded across the whole of the rural nation. From 2002 BRAC has selectively expanded its international presence – typically choosing one primary funder per nation and clarifying what first system intervention the funder wants and how this matches both BRAC’s solution book and cultural permission to network in the country concerned
Overall, these models have empowered the world’s poorest women to develop a new nation (Bangladesh born 1971, brac constituted 1972) –one of the ten most populous on earth from zero resources. In other words, BRAC can be valued as world’s number 1 partner in the Keynsian goal if economics- top design systems that end poverty and sustainably progress livelihoods of next generation
If markets of education and development were truly free in Adam Smith sense BRAC would be valued as world’s number 1 brand partner in leading and uniting the human race.
To learn with BRAC is to action replicable cases- we will see these linkin ending poverty across the whole 17 goal compass of celebrating exponential progress towards sustainability of humanity and planet.

end hunger - Goal 2

This goal is comprised of at least 4 overlapping challenges:
sufficient food to feed the world – here the miracle or rice crop sciences (spread from Japan, China to bangladesh; BRAC staff include 2 world class rice crop scientists. China’s 30 million deaths by starvation in 1962 caused the peoples to change the system
food security- ie enough local fresh food available remembering that much food is perishable within a few days
nutritional access especially first 1000 days of brain and bodily development[ rice is deficient in vitamins hence brac intervened in empowering local development of the vegetable sector -particularly carrots; it can be argued that brac’s soul revolves round peer to peer action learning with healthy solutions being the deepest of foci
Climate (where it makes a place unlivable in) and other exponentials environmental consequences of a carbon polluted world
BRAC has redesigned many agricultural value chains so that the poorest rurals producers have a market, and can afford their family too!.
Rice needs to be complemented by veggies (improved % of live seeds)
Its a leader of poultry (5 microfranchsie description total chain of superchicken)
and milks value chain purposes in Bangladesh-timing critical- powdered milk when eg surfeit gone
BRAC also networks barefoot lawyer concerned with land rights food security- ie enough local fresh food available remembering that much food is perishable within a few days
nutritional access especially first 1000 days of brain and bodily development[ rice is deficient in vitamins hence brac intervened in empowering local development of the vegetable sector -particularly carrots; it can be ; it can be argued that brac’s soul revolves round peer to peer action learning with healthy solutions being the deepest of foci

healthy, lives - Goal 3

the whole truth about health looks very different to bottom-up grassroots networks than top=down masters of administration. Search out how different real economic segments can be: infant care needed to save quarter of lives in developing countries can be mostly about maternal knowhow (eg oral rehydration and nutrition) and not expensive medicine; of course there are basic vaccinations and fever reducing pils that need local distribution (cf food security) most maternal care is very economic provided you take advantage of this population being trackable from onset of pregnancy get infant and maternal care right in a place where generations have previously suffered from literacy, no electricity and no telecommunications and you change the role of women –brac has helped reduce number of children born to rural women by three-fold because increasing the life expectancy of both mothers and children has a positive feedback loop
adolescent healthcare which actually starts at 7 has been misconceived in ways that have hugely costly consequences on society and youth’s hope and sense of self- again there is so much that education and community support can sustain (brac’s international clubs for poor teenage girls have intuitively tapped into missing health service of adolescents- 2016 has seen the lancet breakthrough on the value of adolescent health programs and this age’s critical consequences on how the brain develops
the most economic last mile staff in fighting infectious diseases are often those who have had and survived the disease- brac has helped lead this in its programs combating tuberculosis
brac by being the world’s first partner in such low cost solution franchises not only built a rural healthcare system out of nothing but is the number 1 benchmark in community working health that any developing country’s youth can value

Quality Education - Goal 4

preview by Gordon Brown UN envoy education: Gordon Brown wishes Sir Fazle on his 80th birthday "I want to send birthday greetings to someone who has probably done more than anyone I know to take millions of children and people out of poverty." Gordon Brown (former UK Prime Minister) ...someone who is responsible for halving the rate of infant mortality in Bangladesh
someone who is revered in almost all the parts of the world i visit where there is trouble, displacement and refugees because of the schools that he has managed to deliver which makes the lives of children better there
  • i was in south sudan only a few months ago and i found that the one school that gave hope to the mothers and the children of that vilage was a school that he had organised- a brac school that was giving learning and teaching opportunities to children - so a man sir fazle who is 80 years young- congratulations on your birthday, thank you for what you have done, the whole of the world applauds what you have achieved
‪#‎80YearsofAbedbhai‬
– BRAC is famous for scaling education systems – especially those that value girls’ futures as history’s greatest under-utilised human resource both economically and socially. It is the largest secular and private education system in the world, reaching seven countries. Inside Bangladesh its particularly famous for its informal primary school system; internationally it has scaled adolescent girls clubs focused both on learning a skill for a living and peer to peer support on health and empowerment issues.
In fact, BRAC’s servant leadership and action learning culture was inspired from the start by the 1968 publication of Paulo Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed (education’s main text in the Preferential Option Poor ) genre –currently celebreated by such diverse commenttors on the human condition as Jim Kim, Paul Farmer and Pope Francis .
To some extent BRAC’s 100000+ staff are all educators. In celebrating the Back from the Future of 21st C Yoyth’s Open Learning economy, BRAC s grassroots and femininely graceful service networks multiply value way beyond zero-sum . This is because unlike businesses designed around consuming up things, sustainability and actionable knowhow multiplies value in use.
Notably the first time the world noted BRAC’s capability to scale across rural Bangladesh was the oral rehydration program. By training village mothers to know how to administer boiled water, sugar and salt to end infant diarrhea, BRAC saved one in four infants from death; empowered women to be valued by the historically male culture; reduced the average family size a mother was expected to bear from around ten in 1972 to four and now to … increased the health if village mothers so that they had time to income generate. Many of brac’s microfinance loans can be analysed through community-deep impact metrics: to be the lowest cost student loans for village mothers to train up for an income generating living. This involved operating a microfranchise which brac has designed so that rural value chains are transparently and joyfully supplied by the poorest. Take BRAC’s leadership of the whole poultry value chain in Bangladesh. There are 5 microfranchises only one of which is owing a flock of village hens for egg production. There is breeding a special kind of hen that’s prolific in egg laying; vet services for these hard working hen’s retailing eggs beyond the village; growing animal feed on land that could not support human crop. That’s over a quarter of a million jobs; all with good earning potential for hard working village mother.
Note because BRAC takes in responsibility for leading the value chain, village mother microentrepreneurs are extremely hard working and focused operators of a community sustaining franchise but do not need to be risk takers in the sense that 3rd grade social studies in USA requires children to associate with the definition of entrepreneurship. (see footnote on the who and the why of the word entrepreneur being cloined around 1800 by JB Say- the French alumn of Adam Smith)
Leading a whole market sector profitably (eg poultry, dairy, crafts …) also enables brac to invest in parts of the education system which cannot be self-financing. One example is secondary education scholarships directed towards those girls BRAC has talent spotted as leaders of the future from their dedication at primary. In this way daughters of illiterate village mothers are transformed into society’s health and other professionals. Now that has second or third genereation alumni, the opportunity to contribute to Bangaldesh’s future leaders is integral to BRAC’s purpose as end poverty world’s leading brand archotectire. Note that the bangaldesh being 20 years into experimenting with mobile village partnerships, BRAC University (started 1999) is in the middle of national hackathons and linked in to coders who are leading elearning and e-everything
Some memorable conversation ,lines from interviews with Sir Fazle Abed- after discussing the emnergence of MOOC, Sir Fazle said sounds primoing but why isn’t C for Collaboration
In explaining why BRAC University: I was reading what types of organsiations had survived mant centoiruies and alost the only ones were universities.
On sharing educational innovation with government run schools, we see the university as an opportunity top run special courses for [public servants including some of the most greatest teachers of the future whichever schooling system in Bagladesh they are employed by.
On the need for sustainability goals annual sumits to be called microeducationsummit – yes education can invoite every type of development professionl to join in. We could celebrate the opposite of how microfinacesummit implied you had to be a wizard in finace to innovate the futures youth most needed to celebrate uniting the human race around
BRAC research has also brought a spirit of open learning to the aid and philanthropy sectotr which have often been reticent to accept that enetreprenejurship in dev elopement depends on being smart and open to trial and error as much as any other entrepreneurial pursuit.
FOOTNOTE BOTTOM-UP COLLABORATIVE ECONOMIC SYSTEM DESIGN & ORIGIN OF E-WORD Actually if you go back to the French origin of entrepreneur around 1800 the core meaning of the e-word relates to connecting bottom-up social movements in a (hopefully more peaceful way than the guillotine) to advances the intergenerational human progress of a nation with more joy than 1% of kings owning 99% of productivity assets. The first few words of 1776 USA’s declaration of independence refer to the freedom and happiness of a place where everyone has an equitable chance (a right) to sustain families through plentiful local opportunities to income generate
ENVOI For those who simply love brac as the most exciting organisation to visit let alone to work for, a hugely joyful time was when WISE launched annual education laureate summit with Sir Fazle Abed as their inaugural education laureate. A special feature of WISE to commission a research rep[ort on the prize winner’s wish – in sir fazle’s case Learning for a Living. The UK innovation unit was one of the research teams commissioned to edit this topic into a wise conference report. We were particularly moved by one of the sub-reports framing of the BRAC case study
reporter sarah gillinsonn I’ve been struggling for the past couple of days to start a blog about my experiences in Bangladesh – not because there is nothing to write, but because I couldn’t imagine how I would pick one story. So I’m throwing focus out the window because in fact, it is the breadth and ambition of BRAC’s work that is breathtaking and changing millions of lives. BRAC is the world’s largest NGO, founded in Bangladesh, and with 60,000 employees there alone (they are increasingly working internationally too). Their ambition is no less than to alleviate poverty in their country, and to empower all Bangladeshi citizens to build a better, more prosperous future together. Needless to say, this mission cannot be served with one type of programme, or a single client group. BRAC’s major insight is that for all Bangladeshi citizens – especially the poorest – to pull themselves out of economic, social and political poverty, the support they are offered must address all elements of the personal context and collective history that are holding them back So I have met women in an urban slum who are being supported to build small businesses and improve their lives. They receive microfinance loans to kick start enterprises selling saris, cakes, fish and tea. But that is not enough to sustain a better life. BRAC also offers them training to manage their money and their accounts, to sign their own name and to get an identity card to protect their assets. They learn about basic health and hygiene so they can keep their businesses running, and their children safe. Saira grew up in a rural village and moved to the city when she could no longer generate any income to support her family. On moving to the city, she struggled to find work and ended up brick-breaking like many others – hard, unreliable, physical work. She and her children had no more than one meal a day. Following support and a small loan from BRAC Bank, she now runs a cake business that makes enough money to send her youngest daughters to school and to feed the whole family three times a day. Perhaps most importantly, BRAC has helped her to learn about her rights. This has had a major impact. Saira’s husband abandoned her eight years ago, with six daughters to support. When he heard about her flourishing business, he tried to come back to share in her success. And she would not take him back – unheard of in traditional communities. I have also met young children at a BRAC primary school, desperate to show me the interactive games they use to learn Bengali, English and other subjects. They clamoured to tell me of their ambitions to be doctors, teachers, engineers and even a pilot – despite being too poor even to afford to go to a government school. They too learn a broader, rights-based curriculum that imbues them with far greater control over their own lives, and belief that they can achieve anything. The same is true of the teenagers in an ‘adolescents’ group’ just outside Dhaka, the women in a ‘social capital’ group in a rural village, and the volunteer teachers even further off the beaten track. BRAC is not an education organization. It is not a micro finance organization and it is not a training organization even though it does all those things. It is a citizen-building organization. It is helping to build a new set of values, skills, aspirations and determination in millions of people by providing them with a platform to do more and better for themselves. I haven’t even mentioned one hundredth of what they do. But Saira’s final reflection on the impact of working with BRAC sums up what I heard over and over again. ‘Now, I am tension free’. ............................................................................................................................................................................................................

BRAC 1 RESILIENCE NOT JUST RELIEF –INNOVATION’s CORE OF BOTTOM-UP DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS
The seeds of BRAC were planted in the efforts of Sir Fazle and friends to assist families affected by the Brola cyclone in 1970. BRAC was then officially established after independence, supporting refugees to rebuild their lives. At a critical early juncture , we abandoned our focus on relief and adopted a longer-term objective of development, opting to work side by side with community members for decades to come.
We do not ignore emergencies and their impact on people living in poverty. We build community preparedness and grassroots platforms that activate in natural disasters to minimize damage and to channel relief. Our goal is to help households bounce back better.
Better often means changes such as stronger infrastructure or new livelihoods for families that depend on agriculture, for example, and are therefore increasingly vulnerable to climate change.
As Bangladesh urbanizes, we have expanded our focus to include manmade disasters like fires and building collapses, most recently Rana Plaza in 2013.
Massive natural disasters internationally have triggered us to expand into new countries  like Haiti and Nepal to support national recovery the way we did in Bangladesh so many years ago //
BRAC 2 Healthy Lives and healthy futures
Doctors and hospitals were scarce in Bangladesh’s early days. We created an army of community-based entrepreneurs to bring medicine to every doorstep. Over time, the army became all female, challenging social norms and enabling women to access important products and information
We challenged the global health community by putting the life saving treatment for diarrheal disease in the “unqualified” hands of mothers, and generated evidence that they could use it effectively. We created a community-based tuberculosis control model, expanding over time to become the government’s largest partner in combating the disease.
The growing numbers of people living in poverty in urban areas face serios health risks, including maternal and infant mortality. Our network of healthcare entrepreneurs continues to ensure that women can access care safely, quickly, and with dignity.
Recent breakthroughs in cognitive science have shown that focusing on early childhood development has transformative effects over a lifetime. Pilot programmes are putting this research into action at the grassroots level

The primary challenge of healthcare now is less about access and more about quality. We  are building financial tools to continuously ensure more people can access services that meet their evolving health needs.
BRAC 3 EDUCATION FROM LITERACY TO LEADERSHIP
We started by teaching basic literacy to adults, then realised we needed to start from the start.  We changed lour nor-formal primary schools as “second chances’ for people living in poverty especially girls. Our pedagogy focused on joyful learning, incorporating the best practices from around the world.
As students graduated from our schools. We felt a need for creative ways to continue learning beyond the classroom. Libraries offered reading materials, and adolescent clubs created safe spaces and opportunities to teach life skills.
Our focus moved towards quality, with universal access towards education in sight, through strategies such as teacher training and increased use of technology. We proactively recruited students with special needs and expanded our curriculum into multiple ethnic languages to ensure that our schools were successful to all children. 
Our ultiimate goal is to build a nation, and for that we need leaders. That is where our focus is now – creating opportunities for youth to take responsibilities in programmes, as mentors, and as teachers themselves. Our university creates even more opportunities to contribute on a global scale. 
 BRAC 4 Financial Inclusion
We started by bringing people living in poverty together. We quickly learnt that what they needed most urgently was access to economic opportunities and financial services. 
We brought women together into villag organizations to organize credit and savings arrangements, and then used these meetings as a platform by delivering a wider range of services.
Over time, we expanded our reach to unserved populations, such as the “missing middle” (enterprises that were too large for the loans offered by microfinance but excluded from commercial banks) and a comprehensive grants based programme for people living with poverty, who could not benefit from microfinance.
 We are now building a broader set of financial products, including insurance and pensions, and leveraging the growing ownership of mobile phones to use digital channels for financial services.

BRAC 5 Market Solutions for the Poor
A fundamental driver is a lack of power – at the individual, household and community level alike... Power dynamics need to change in order for people living in poverty to realize their potential , and they only change when people do it themselves.
We promoted consciousness raising and empowerment from our earliest interactions with communities, inspired by teachings on social movements. We underestimated the complexity of power dynamics though and learned the hard way that we needed to create new organisations, where women could come together in solidarity. These community action groups became important social platforms; for example, supporting health workers who faced harassment for their services.
We widened our work over time to help people living in poverty to participate in formal government structures and leverage public services. We also increased our engagement with public official and village leaders to build wider support for women’s empowerment. These discussions have risen to the national level, where we advocate policies that support gender equality and human rights. Internally we have worked to build a female-friendly work environment and actively strive to recruit women.
Gender equality remains one of the greatest unfinished works of our generation, and an area in which we have to continue changing power dynamics. We still see that child marriage is the norm, sexual violence is pervasive, and women are under-represented in the workforce.
    
BRAC 6 Changing Power Dynamics
As we began to provide financial services to people living in poverty, we noticed that many rural communities did not have access to markets
We started building value chains, connecting thousands of farmers and artisans to national markets. We focused on silk, poultry, clothing and retail, in many cases the viability of new sectors in Bangladesh. The successful scaling up of one value chain often spawned new livelihood opportunities, from poultry vaccinations to artificial insemination for dairy cows.
Entrepreneurship is also a long standing part of our development approach. Over time we have built a national cadre  of local change agents, usually women, who receive training and support from us, but are paid for their services by their neighbours. These grassroots entrepreneurs distribute a wide variety of products and services, from sanitary napkins to high quality seeds.
As local and global labor markets offer new opportunities. We are supporting migrants to seek and finance work abroad safely,  and equip youth with in-demand skills 
7 BRAC INTERNATIONAL
By 2002 we had over 30 years experience of piloting and perfecting programs, and scaling them to reach millions. The time had come to bring what we had learnt in Bangladesh to the rest of the world.
Relief and rehabilitation were immediate needs after war and natural disasters plunged millions into poverty in Afghanistan and Sri Lanka. We focused on peace and building stability through jobs, education and financial inclusion, continuing to put girls and women at the centre of opportunities.
We expanded into Africa four years later, starting development programs in Tanzania and Uganda. We continued to pilot, perfect and scale rapidly never losing focus on contextualising every opportunity created
Opening now in 12 countries gives us a rich knowledge base to further our work in Bangladesh, while providing us with a global network in which to pilot new solutions for the world’s problems. In 2016, we create opportunities for one in every people in the world. 



 


WHY -BE-me21
Who Do You Value Most in the World? Jim Kim's 2030now invitation to millennials 
We second World Bank Jim Kim's proposal that until 2030 the 2 massive collaboration networks to value most are:
  • The millions of village mothers (eg 15 million in Bangladesh) who showed how to network the race to end poverty
  • 25-35 year old professionals where they are the most connected, educated and caring class our human race has ever joyfully parented

In 1972 Sir Fazle first showed Muslim girls how to apply Franciscan POP Preferenetial-Option-Poorest ie tech and grassroot networking preferentially to extreme poorest born into least sustainable communities). Back in St Francis day the med sea had no refugees; all the golden rule religions hubbed out of med sea's eastern end which was also the west Eurasia's starting line for the greatest win-win overland trading Road "The Silk Road"). Just as the west end of this huge human relay between win-win trading places was full of spiritual joy, Marco Polo is pretty joyful about its East end : Jack Ma's home town of Hangzhou, and home of the first G20 of the sustainabilitygoals era.

[PDF]Sir Fazle Abed, Director and Founder of the BRAC ... - Unesco

www.unesco.org/new/fileadmin/MULTIMEDIA/.../sir_fazle_abed_transcript_final.pdf
Thank you Madame Director General and thank you for inviting me to this Conference. In an interview in 2009 in BBC Hard Talk I said that the purpose of ... Hangzhou UNESCO 2013 = Conference theme: “that culture is the key to sustainable development”. I said that in the context of Afghanistan’s exclusion of girls from education, and I said that because I felt that one had to do something which is culturally appropriate in order to educate girls in Afghanistan. Now over these years I’ve set up 4.000 girls’ schools in Afghanistan, trained hundreds, in fact thousands of female teachers, engaged older women as chaperon to take girls from their homes to school and bring them back to their homes after class. As a result of which now 280 000 girls are being educated in Afghanistan. What is happening is that they are getting an opportunity to learn, they are being taught well. Hopefully this particular generation of girls will be well educated, and the next generation of children will not face the kind of exclusions this generation faced. And I hope that the Afghan women`s life and livelihood will probably change in the next generation and we hope that automatically the exclusion that girls face now in Afghanistan will not be faced by the next generation.

amazingly colonial age enemies :japan versus korea south , china (diaspora) redesigned win-win trade routes which went beyond the win-lose trades of the colonial age, and innovated directions beyond big get bigger industrial age (japa was first to help humans leap on to electronic engineering moores law-f doubling microelectronics and engineering infrastructure apps out of which supertrains and superports were mapped); by 1970 japan was the world's 2nd largest economy, and south korea has also focusing on the postindustrial - engineering model from jaoan, while the chinese diaspora were becoming the world's 3rd biggest financial network by linking in win-win trades across hemispheres' strategically located ports ; the english had got out of the poverty trapping way that their colonisation of the empire had mainly caused ;

until and including s korean war usa made a lot of sacrifices as it had from world war 2 on and had enabled marshall plans etc so that the peoples in countries like japan and korea south got a chance to leap ahead with re-engineering and hi-tech as had also been facilitated in w germany

all of these countries gained hugely as there peoples effectively spent nothing on international peacekeeping other than design win-win trades whereas countries like usa spent over 20% of their citizens money; this could always need to be anticipated as a temporary exchange; wherever it wasnt troubles have been brewing; it is necessary for today's worldwide youth to understand that from 1946 the most powerful enemy of human sustainability was stalin; wherever small nations got caught up in his cultural paradigm whole regions never got the chance to go peacefully post colonial post industrial 1 that this cluster of eastern hemisphere did

2 1970-1996 pre-digital what got solved primarily in bangladesh and china as the whole of the east also linkedin- where tech was reaching post ind2

The good news from the east's most remarkable developments in the quarter following the end of world war 2 was that the developements were organic, designed by the peoples of those economies. Oddly the bretton wood's institutions - world bank, un, IMF did not learn this lesson. Instead they made up teories on how to pass aid from their world headquarters through governments. What's miraculous is how Bangladesh and China avoided getting trapped in top-down aid systems, and took innovation of developing nations to arguably the two greatest examples ever seen.

Bnagladesh is particularly remarkable because a couple of the country's most qualified people were prepared to go and live and lern in the middle of the most desparte poverty chalenges. Sir Fazle did tis in 1972 not just in the middle of poor vilages but in an area where million people had been killeed and infsratructure destroyed by an intense local cyclone. He started bootom-up disater relief and development - finding out who in the community knew how to reapir what, getting them fnds not just to do their jobs but peer to peer train up local capacity. BRAc continued to buold from the bottom up jigsaw pieces of 1 resilience 2 educatoion 3 helath service 4 food security 5 financing the smallest village enterprise roudn startups by vilage mothers. It desigend microfranchises open sourced amongst voilage motehrs so they maximised efficiency and efectveness and had a market that brac had designed. In other word brac chnaged charity to positive income geberating models that could be replicated across villages. In paralel, where serving children or others that could not be expoecetd to generate their own income, it guaranteed "conditional cash transfer" ie dontaions would be assigned directly to recipents and for a known activity. Nit living with the pooerst they could knw who was who. Indeed whilst well emaing their distribution of aid often failed to transfer skills to te community and even distoreted the market making people endlesly dependent on charity. All this happened in par due to serendipity; te new nation of bangaldesh started up so poor that the government taxation bariely raised funds to serve those in the cities. It had no reach to the vilagers without electricity or communications- and for at least the first 15 years of bangaldesh's development was happy to leave vikage development to the bottom up ngos (brac ) one rural bank created by special national ordinance grameen in 1983.

China also developed agrarian keynsianism and cultural revolution in public service but in ways that are unqiue to that country. However everything that China uniquely knows about development today is worth every developing nation benchmarking as digital revolutions to linking in youth networks to be the sustainability generation have so much in common as transforntive innovations than
