we belive the clearest catalogue of curricula of alumni fazle abed comes from 3 keys 1
chronological system growth with environmental change - for the first half of sir fazle's work everything had to be person
to person- rural poverty means no access to electricity grids, no communications other than person to person- or did until
microsolar leapt beyondgrids of electricity and mobile phone leapt beuond wired telecoms-remarkably 2.0 to the poorest billion
women in the world means what to klearn and do when you leap to eg mobile never having used any other sort of phone or tele-device 2
what sort of market skill people were being trained for - eg health servant, food security grower, teacher, technologist 3
which of the sustainability development goals the rest of te world can benchmark- so for example the first 25 years of brac
was grounded round the connection of brac's overall aim : poverty alleviation with goal 2 end hunger , 3 health, 4 education
5 (gender equality) 6 sanitation: clean water- when you are community building the last thing you want is silos- all of the
above need to flow into each other if the system is to keep growing sustainably up | 1970
Life Changing Monemt In the 15 years before a million people were killed in a cyclone all around fazle abed and his
headquarters of shell oil east pakistan, he had studied engineering at glasgow university and trained in chartered accountancy
to be regional ceo for royal dutch shell consequently fazle abed held the view of purposeful (brand) organisation as
system having one relentless aim which also needs a culture so that 100000 people (if scaled to have an impact as an)
organisation are helping each other as well as all partners who choose to share the purpose- sir fazle always told us
the purpose was poverty alleviation ; the culture he designed was inspired by paulo freire pedagogy of the oppressed-
it turns out that everyone we search as heroic health servants (eg jim kim, paul farmer, larry brilliant) applies the
idea of servant leadership- go live ina place where the people most desperately need your skill, as well as help them to
experientially learn identify what broken system caused them to be so much in need of your skill, and if there are other
broken systems try to invite experts in thise skills to join you- and as technology of the world chnages demand partbers
come andtry out tghe tech preferentially in the communities you are practusing in - how else can tech prove its innovation
value if it doesnt address the deepest chalenges it could be applied to |
