5.2 culture at heart of sdgs
there are no borders to the solutions needed to end extreme poverty in tropical village asia- death of infants by dehydration is borderless as it the solution train mothers to deliver oral rehydration; response such as nation wide innoculation to infections diseases, or which variants of rice produce most locally depend on variables nature chooses as analogous- so while abed was designing solutions for bangladesh metavillages of 100000 people , many were open sources whether the inventors were borlaug's researchers, abed's researchers, others- to study 50 years of abed's solutions for empowering village women helps you map the greatest human development miracle of all lime - empowerment of billion asian women as poverty alleviation networkers mainly through replicating village microfranchises- when you asked abed what was the overall common denominator he said that in networks he found partners for the culture was that of paulo freire; other last miole health service networks eg those of jim kim and the late great paul farmer www.pih.org echo the same commitment to servant leadership
Fazle abed built sustainability round empowering village women building 100000 person metavillages which over 50 years developed 30 of the world's most vital cooperations in sustainability- the solutions needed replicated through up to 1000*hundred thoussand metavilages in Bangladesh and 9000 other tropical regions particularly in china where many solutions were open sourced in terms of rural women being more productive in human development than men- we belive UN2.0 sustainability goals will also need 100000 person global village networking round family values and women empowerment - see eg here
