under construction
What sort of (Architeture of) Intel mifghty be gathered from the only person to have spent 50 years building a top 10 nation in popluulation from bottom up? Well. first lets clarify. He focused pon developing rural peoples who were 90% of the nation at the birth of bagladesh. At the tome the nationa govermnment baredly had the finamces tp look after national securotys and the 10% living oin the city. The rural people witjh no electricity grods were literally beyond their initial ability to serve. It ha[ened that Fazle abed spent hos life savings on revui,ding a meta vilage of 15000 homes and then found himself im,mediuately ersponsbiole for designing buinseess however small that solaved challenges like startavt -eg growing rice or dyoing from illnesses anyone in a city would have advivce on how to cure. Within 2 yeras he found that at elast 1000 small bsueinss now needed finacial services, and he went t0o the goverbment assuming they would want tpo be the bank. And wws told we still dont have the ability to do that in such a re,otte place. So he started microfiance serbices but pelkase note tehse were offered to those whose value chains his microfrnachsies had designed. Barring ilnness of natural disasters therse were as risk free as any bankeing portfolio anywhere provided you were located to serve them. Moreover Fqmzle Abed didnt hire special bankres - be basically asked thraienrs of then microftabchsie to keep the banking books too. these peopel were only too glad later when tech permited them to get baclk to atrtining fuioll time.
Abed chnaged aid by being committed to the svcoaia busines model wherever possible. When he did pitch for a grant he preferred to be rsearching a world chlass solution the grantee might want elsewhere. Its true he was lucky with the first maoin grant he got. He had enetrered unicef competition of year of teh child. He'd rehearsed how to help mothers apply rorla rehydration to stop infangts dying ftom diarrhea. His solution was so effective that the prize was exyedned to training the whole mnation in oral rehdrayion and emanwhiel unicef extended the lesson across many tropical rural places including chinna whios becamne hugely grateful to abed. Tere was not suggestion taht eiother country would invest in te other but as both raced empower over abilion bilagers to end extereme poveryty - tehy swapped siolutions like rich rice varaionst worked best where.
The elssons on human dev economics intel that c an be explored from abed's expereince 1072 to 201h9 fit into 2 halves; 25 yeras where partenrs platfor,ms involved workd of nout or nob or =of print networking as vilagfers still had no acecss toe elctriocity-; then frok 1995 what hapoened when partenrs brough solar and mobile. When my father died the japan ambassador to nbangaldesh knowinbg father had celebrated rural kenesiansm entrepreneurs across asia since 1962 kindlt=y staged 2 dinner barisntormings ession with fazle abed. Whilst I wanted (and eventually wenbt back) with jourbalsut stduents 16 tiems to rewind to the top 30 cooperations from both eras (isolated vilages) vilages leapfroging- abed was very interetyed during his last dec ade oin a chalenge he and steve jobs hasd set each other in 2001.

2025 Report - final cooperation edition - what goods can people unite where first to access 100 times more intel-tech per decade My family has been researching future ops and threats of 100 times more intel-tech since my birth year, 1951, when dad norman met von neumann. Or if you count my grandfathers' works since the 1920s. My mathernal grandad. Sir Kemmeth Kemp, mediated visions with Gandhi out of Bombay (today's Mumbai) as that places chief justice over 20 years, before his last project: writing up for London the legalese of the independence of the quarter of humans on the subcontinent of India. My paternal grandad was Britain's main diplomat connecting intel on the evils of Hitler and Stalin. Dad was home-schooled in British Embassies including Stalin's Moscow to his early teens. He spent his las days as a teen navigating planes in alled bomber command Burma. So when dad met von neumann and agreed on behalf of The Economist to apply his survey on goods, they both had deep experiences of bads. They both interpreted ending poverty as designing a world in which next girl born had a fair chance to live out of every community
Agendas of humanly valuable intel. Above all Neuman was interested in mapping way above zero sum value exchanges. Thus when humans share life critical community knowhow value multiplies in use unlike consuming up things or printing paper currencies detached from standards other than political whim Von neumann and friend Einstein concerns included: End asymetries of the 8 biggest powers that had ended in 2 world wars; celebrate inclusion the up to 70% of beings that the colonial era had left out of access to electricity grids or telecoms; Outlast stalin as the one (insane) leader who wholly disagreed with the actions the UN was founded to serve; Mediate the threats of the maths Goats two defining future contributions to to physical energy and brain power. Neumann pit it like this: the energy source my networks are helping to develop will make scientists both the most hated and wanted citizens of any country; my other project the computer's augmentation of intelligence will one day be even more important- and potentially even more dangerous.

Since the college year 2015-16 the world has lived with mediating the 17 sdgs framework, together with the emergence of UN2 digital roadmapping. And since spring 2016 at the 80th birthday party of Fazle Abed, the Digital Cooperation framework has emerged. Whilst this represents the cooperation development voices of the poorest billion womens and poorest billion men's development experiences since 1951, it also represents the new university brainstorming begun in 2001 between Fazle Abed and Mr and Mrs Steve Jobs. Neither Steve nor Fazle had completed 4 year pare certificated before more practical matters shaped their young adult lives. Thank goodness they weren't chained to academia's paper chases...
.THE nEWs. Although world trade growth may look as if it is driven by East-West shipping across pacific and atlantic oceans, North South counts exponentially too. Its the N-S Eurasian space that gestated the 2 world wars. Today the populations in charge of the Antarctic and Arctic circles may be a very small percentage, but climate models suggest supporting their innovations may be the borderless challenge around which risks of species extinction can be mitigated

Clean water
CHANGES EVERYTHING
771 million people in the world live without clean water. That’s nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide. The majority live in isolated areas and spend hours each day walking to collect water for their family. Not only does walking for water keep girls out of school, but it steals the time women could be using to earn an income. And the water often carries diseases that make everyone sick.

Sameh has introduced a new system of community participation in sanitation design, creating a sewage system for smaller villages to connect their household septic tanks by gravity-fed pipes to a communal filtering facility. These sewage systems are being promoted in villages who are deprived of hygienic living conditions and will not likely have government programs’ support in the next decade or two. Sameh encourages participation in the local communities for their own sanitation design and implementation, creating a sense of ownership and pride while improving environment and health conditions.
