ending stunting during first 1000 days - sufficient food security/infant nutrition vital during fort 1000 days otherwise neither body or brain will develop fully- rice became main food security staple to end starvation as well as a sustainable village business mothers could operate- alongside this a veggie like carrots needed since rice alone doesnt have enough vitamins to prevent eg night blindness
asian alumni of the american borlaug saved a billion lives by researching how staple crops could be maximised to small farm production- some crops like rice really dont have much scale advantage- paddy fields do not have an equivalent to huge american plains- locally a farmer can minimise chemical fertiliser if she has a seed optimally adapted to local conditions and closely watch no diseases start- fortunately the food prize presents alumni of borlaug in a good mixture of chronology and most impact-

food and water security, ambassador_kenneth_m_quinn/ former us ambassador to cambodia and 20 year coordinator of world food prize initiated by borlaug the american researcher "Green Revolution" who probably saved a billion asians from starvation or stunting - abed was the 28th? laureate , the first was india's DR Swaminathan , the second was dr chandler who founded the international rice institute (IRRI) in Philippines in 1955 and Taiwan's AVRDC in 1972, the third was india's Dr. Verghese Kurien a mechanical engineer who developed diary cooperative network for indi's small farmers "operation flood" 1965, the fourth dr niederhauser who helped make the ;potato the number 4 staple crop in the world by developing disease resistant potatoes - working out of mexico his knowledge made mexico self-sufficient in ;potato production by 1962 and he established the Inter-American Potato Program in 1961 and the International Potato Program in 1966 to allow scientists from many countries, to collaborate in solving food production problems. Such strategies became the keystone for the newly created international agricultural research centers. the fifth were americans Edward F. Knipling & Dr. Raymond C. Bushland whose work from the 1960s successfully combated particular insects ruining crops , the sixth was China's | He Kang former Minister of Agriculture of the People's Republic of China, for implementing the reform policies that enabled China to become self-sufficient in basic food during the 1980s when his work helped the chinese compound food production by 8% each year in the 1980s
remembering the colonial age left half of the world mainly on the asian continent subsisting from day to day every advance in small enterprise crop science mattered more in the 1950s than all the nuclear scientists - more precisely read our biography on how von neumann was desperate to have a few years on the planet innovating programable computers having given his life to us race to nuclear
maternal care and wellbeing going hand in hand with infant village case - in countries like bangladesh with not enough trained nurses even for the cities - designing the basic health services raising life expectancy to 60s required innovation of para-health networking as well as maximising relevant teaching in schools-
QUALITY OF FOUNDATION MATTER TO ENGINEERS & TRUSTED ECONOMISTS
in transferring brac lessons to africa, forme world bank leader jim kim has said 2015 something along the lines- i now realise its not exponentially economic to design a nation "economic assistance" until is hs a basic health system which brac provides the best value example- of course there diseases that bangladesh doesnt get but with about 80% of world poOrest living between latitude 30 and minus 30 bangladesh is a lab for vast majority of goal 3 solutions
ending tuberculosis - brac solutions attracted partnerships with jim kim george soros paul farmer and bill gates - all during the period 1995-2005- this also ed to james grant school being the founding college of brac university and swarthmore's epidemiologist vice chancellor being a leading member of the original governing board of brac university- swarthmore college was also the inspiration of other only other wise education laureate to include new universities in his alumnis's toolkit for education revolution - see patt

by being the worlds first bottom up relief agency founded by a former regional ceo of an oil company multinational sir fazle had the ability to change both model of disaster relief and of development in fact fazle dared integrate 4 economic levels at same time - 1 village, 100000 village positive cashflow replication, national leaders , global market leadership
PGP goal 17 correction - he never left girls out of public private partnerships- it takes 3 value multipliers to triangularise a any system mapmaker will confirm
-in bangladesh the total value chain of finance is linked by brac models -as is international finance as far as remittances (into bangladesh these represent about a third of foreign currency earnings) or poverty relevant digital fintech is concerned- we will revert with a fuller list of partners - but brac's overall fintech solution is called bkash.com and its main partners today are quadir tech wizard family with mit-=dubai legatum support with bill gates and jack ma- the grant manual program is called ultra graduation - its research verification won the abdul latif/toyota middle east mit poverty lab nobel economic prize; microfinance plus (this model was never turned into a curriculum by 20 years of the american microcreditsummit whose elad storyteller was muhammad yunus), brac city bank with a focus onr 2nd generation of village mothers who now work in the city - this bank also connects with brac international interface for remittances- there is also a merchant banking coalition for the poorest led by brac)- the international operations of brac are handled out of the netherlands- brac was also a founder member of the trade association www.gabv.org global association of banks with values- this was co-founded by shorebank which for nearly 30 years was the benchmark financial service network for regenerating south chicago community- just as one of fazle's abed's core immunology knowhow partners was swarthmore's vice chancellor, shorebanks founders exchanged knowhow on banking
disaster relief agencies often collect funds only for relief- ie they fly in serve the immediate disaster relief needs and fly out with there being a bridge ti development- also tgheir process of tyelief does not maximise local training and it loses the relationshipos of trust which conversely sir fazle could build by living in a region to serve both relief and edeveklopmentg needs- although development economics gives fancy names - effectively sr fazle innovated direct cash gtrasfer - give this money and you will get this skilos capacity as well as reslient commuty aset (eg cyclone proof hut with pit latrine attached) scaling among these specified people- lend m oney and you will sgtart sustainable business in vilage which are designed as microfranchises : 1 so that if vilage mother worlks har she gets a ;positive cash flow - 2 so thye whole value china across the natuon included productivities and demnds of the pooerst
as well as microfinance plus which trains village women in a microfranchise and provides their saving and loan needs
ultra graduation gives the very poorest a grant and training so that over a 2 year period they can develop to stage that they can become a microfranchise owner
brac bank in the cities aimed to serve daughters and sons of villagers who had moved to the city, as well as local smes and put brac operationally in the middle of all emerging technologies starting with those needed to serve international remittances- about a third of all trading income into bangladesh comes from remittances
brac city financiers also have a consortium which can be described as merchant banking for the poor eg looking after currency and other issues that give the poor a seat in national decision making should a disaster hit
brac has an international office ipn the netherlands- it serves remittance; connects international fundraising for bangladesh as well as seeking partners who wish to transfer a brac solution to another country- brac cannot use any money earned in bangladesh so partners need to want to gtale long=ter responsibility for transfering a brac solution
brac also operates the world leading fin tech coalition for the billion unbanked- this uses text mobile - though the models for this first emerged among blackberry users in kenya, by around 2010 bangladeshi americans at mit had hired kenya's original system designer of mpesa and put together tech partners to match brac's deepest trust in the community- many of the partners in the coalition had first been brought to dhaka by this team with their for village phones- however after years of trying to implement this with muhammad yunus the etch experts moved on since a fintech model cannot be financed by an organisation with no savings- tech leaps forward require the ability to invest in leapfroging - the brac bank a billion coalition now includes jack ma and bill gates
brac is also a founding partner of gabv.org the global association of banks with values- this was set up with alumni of south side chcnago's shorebank; brac and shorebank shared a lot of ideas and new stages of development - unfortunately during the subprime crisis- the us bank that had built communities whchc obama emerged form went under;
