Features of system design

 

Bank that invests in the productivity, health, knowledge multiplication of the most underemployed who want to be their communities’ and next generation’s greatest sustainability investors;

 

Bank that designs  ownership and relationship transparency of supply and demand around free mrkets of the locally poorest

Banking system that  sustains value multipliers of microentreprenurial expoentials rising at level of 1 (person), 5 (peer learning team). 60 (village community market), 3600 (local network of markets within walking distance of each other) , 8 million members ( servant leadership team of world’s number 1 social business entrepreneurs)

In Bangladesh they joyfully say DEVELOPMENT is both the instruments and the process through which humans creatively strive for peace and prosperity Depending who you are listening to talking to Dr Yunus or Fazle Abed or Ingrid Munro, I think the problem for economics is the micro up system change flows through so many disciplines and applications

magic10.gif you'd be welcome to reword the chart attached bur starting with the middle box: I label microbanking and the system change of social business that Bangladesh invented in the 1970s as both 1 and 10 - you can study microbanking at basic level of execution and by the time its flowed its virtuous spiral round all the other interfaces shown it becomes your macro integrator of everything (something demanded back in 1976 in The economist's survey of Entrepreneurial Revolution)  - or in other words microbanking and social business system models need action learning through both  elementary and advanced maps for every age and culture for those interested in sustainability investment in 9 through 2 we hear 9 when dr yunus convenes global grameen clubs http://grameencl.com of global brand ceos and invited them to partner in innovation designed to test how free their global market is to be sustainable we see 8 when new university curriculum of sustainability are assembled we see 7 when JP Morgan and Ingrid talk to each other, and incidentally single interest foundations are I posit evil for a 21st C world we see 6 when Obama addresses clinton global initiative we see 5 at traditional microcreditsummits when we get to the thorny question of doing real microcredit requires changes in national laws on banks, as well as gandhian perspective on whole truth gov and professions are needed for poorest not richest; incidentally privatization has for many become a dirty word cos it is implemented exactly the opposite way round from that which my father coined it to mean  http://www.normanmacrae.com  we see 4 because there is no point on earth in starting a bank unless you can turn up peace and resolve any conflicts that are causing underclasses to use manmohan singhs language, or have the capacity to help if the area is prone to cyclical disasters or endemic health problems we see 3 because rural economies is where all clean water , food, energy and land rights start we see 2 cos children's vocational education is the greatest sustainability investment of all  true cultures of microcredit invest in through a generation no wonder man is breaching the greatest system crisis of all when all these flows are muddled up with the experts boxing in their theories and leaving humanity to take the hindmost chris macraehttp://worldcitizen.tv

New York's Week Sept 21-28 In Crisis Year /09/10
To University Youth

.New York, report from week 1 of Joy of Life Decade

Share in What Manhattan’s Largest Bank Wants to Action Learn

JP Morgan Executive introducing founder JB’s Ingrid Munro yesterday said

Ingrid and Jamii Bora in Kenya is being talked about around the world  for helping to revolutionise microfinance. The thing I love about Ingrid’s model is that she recognises that the notion of charity is not empowering;

that strategic philanthropy is about developing the undeveloped,

 about providing technical assistance and resources to vast majority of people across the world who need to be empowered to become productive citizens.

1 Context: Branding 2010s The Joy of Life decade is an invitation from Nobel Dr Yunus http://www.yunuscentre.org  to every being to join in, not the least youth ambassadors and global brand ceos! Whilst giving Nelson Mandela’s birthday speech, he has already set football world cup’s a video on why not co-brand south africa 2010’s football and race to end poverty celebrations. Friends and I are dubbing this New York’s joy of life week in 09/10 since all microcredit leaders are converging on the city with Clinton global climaxing the week http://worldcitizen.tv To start the week, youth banking’s most exciting movement celebrated a 800 person social business storytelling and Q&A session at Manhattan’s biggest back (more below)

Next Please tweet  : NYC Tweetup Sept 23, Africa Rally racers fight to end poverty http://bit.ly/5RPiX#race4change

This text promotes an east african car rally in November whose funds will go to microcredit summit kenya and Jamii Bora. In particular tomorrow night sees new York ’s celebration launch of this. Links: for microcreditsummit : official web http://microcreditsummit.org fan club http://www.microcredit.tv/id32.html

 jamii bora:   kenya official web http://jamiibora.org http://www.jamiibora.se/ fan club http://jamiibora.net  

3 The rest of this report is mainly on Kenya’s and youth banking’s invitation to the world to link in microcreditsummit in April 2010, AKA as Jamii Bora slum bank tutorial 2 to JP Morgan – Manhattan’s biggest bank. This took place in Manhattan yesterday. I invite peter and jerry who were there to correct any errors or omissions. If you are a club leader why not make some sort of members wiki out of this opening text of yes we can interconnects. If you want a copy of the first official leaflet on kenya microcreditsummit send me your snailmail

4 AN EXTRAORDINARY 10 YEAR OLD EXPONENTIAL

Jamii Bora is now kenya ’s largest microcredit with 110 branches, 200 outlets, 250,000 members (ie serving about 1.5 million people), it’s doubling every two to three years.  Uniquely in the world it is a mobile (members records are fully automated fingerprinted!) and slums youth microcredit as well as a microcredit for all the poorest. Ingrid whose life work had been in Kenya , and who had taken in a few orphans over time was about to retire in 1999 when mothers and orphans said you cant do that mum. So instead Ingrid started a microcredit with one of the simplest design rules. Save for 6 months and then you can have credit of double what you saved. Typically new members save $12 and take a loan out for $24. Those who climb the ladder fast may find that their doubling of loans reached 4100 by about the 7th successful loan completion. This means that whilst the microcredit remains anchored in income generation for the poorest, it also has some members who now employ 20 people or more – a bridge from individual job creation to SME start ups.

5 All staff are former members, and the positive energies of youth are central to energizing Jamii Bora. One of Ingrid’s earliest converts was a young thief who is now a chief membership recruiter, and in last years troubles the young membership hunted out that gang who burnt down the 1000 stall market of kibera alum and invited them to rebuild it. This he did though the first time he met Ingrid he said he didn’t initially like meeting her staff because they weren’t sufficiently afraid of him. The second time he met Ingrid he said he'd been back home for the first time in 10 years and his mum is so pleased that he has given up being a gangster and become a microbanker. As Ingrid says: have you ever met a child who wants to become a thief or a prostitute? Its a broken system that traps youth in such life-losing pursuits.   Jamii Bora is well on the way to becoming kenya’s most trusted brand, and that means it attracts all the right sorts of sustainability partners in much the same way that Grameen and BRAC do as the most sustainable forces for humanity in developing hemispheres. Jamii Bora also runs alcoholics and glue sniffers anonymous as part of a social program of “there is hope” which it takes to the streets –and literally the sewers - to invite young people to sign into. Just about the only rule for joining the social program is that we are all tribes united. JB is the leading youth micro credit in the world and it is microcreditsummit founder’s sam daley harris to take the good practice news of JB and any other great practices shared in kenya april 2010 on a 50 country road tour designed to search out the 2 deepest microcredits in each country – thus inviting back over 100 extremely sustainable microcredits back to kenya micro up knowhow exchange 2.0. Moreover Queen Sofia of Spain has signed an Africa-Spanish speaking southern hemisphere knowledge exchange agreement, and will be guest hosting world microcreditsummit out of Madrid in 2011.

6 Other cores of jamii bora program are:

-health insurance- early on Ingrid found repayments were at risk whenever family members went into hospital – so jamii bora offers the world cheapest health insurance 32 cents a week covers a family. This has been achieved by buying up capacity of missionary hospitals which might otherwise have gone bust.

-a business school- jamii bora invites world’s social workers to come and help peer to peer youth training out of addiction and into business starting up

7 specials of jamii bora include

the largest ecological new town – 2000 houses which members made their own bricks and roof tiles-; which has a world leading water and sewerage treatment facility; which uses solar energy and of course invites continuous ecological networking solutions

8 things that jamii bora is planting in the hope they will take off

the first primary school for orphans has already opened and next year will see the first secondary school; as those experienced with Bangladesh microcredit will know the deal of sustainability investment is to make the current generation of poor income generation and to take their next generation’s capabilities and resources way beyond the failed system that trapped their parents

9 who are you to help?

I hope it is clear that kenyaapril 2010  intends to be the best ever microcredit summit if you in any community building ca[acity want to sustain africa or youth in particular; JB is only part of africa’s best news for sustainability worlds with BRAC having got to 100000 members in under year 3 in both Uganda and Tanzania, and forming microhealth partenrships with Bill Gates Foundation and social micro media partenrships with Soros Foundation and Mastercard Foundation to name but 3; and with grameen due to announcve social business comeptition funds for africa and other goals that many of us only dream of wheareas Dr Yunus realises. 

POSSIBLE DO NOW CONTACTS

contact alex at GWU in Washington DC if you wish to collaborate in his aim to get 50 university students to africa; contact mostofa or sofia in london – mostofa runs the official yunus citizen and youth collaboration web http://yunusforum.net and sofia who facilitated yunus 69th birthday dialogue is experimenting with how Londoners http://londoncreativelabs.com  can host their own employment services agencies (inspired by similar structure Grameen and BRAC offer) and link this to 2012 promise to make london the sustainability Olympics; if you are American continue to lobby your congressman to sign up yunus for the congressional media of honor – this is bigger than the presidential medal as its prize include a speech to the whole of congress; if you share obama's yes we can spirit, not how what he cant do in USA we can try out in his fatherland of kenya ; in India leaders encourage students to tear up educational curricula that are not sustainable; please do question if you are at a business school whether you are being taught economics of the ever less economic of the sort sponsored by the big get bigger, the walled in get ever more walled on; the good news is that BRAC has a fully fledged university for studying the economics of transparent community building; dr yunus is inviting vice chancellors to contribute to the missing curriculum of sustainability; and Ingrid is simple saying come and help youth peer to peer what they need to regenerate on kenya or any poor place. If your place has a week in 09/10 when everything micro up is coming together, tell us so we can pit it on the worldcitizen.tv calendar – let’s make the 2010s joy of life decade and escape just in time from what the 00s has been spinning as potentially the most uneconomic and depressing start any century has ever had. Incidentally in mapping a curricula of development I do advocate consideration of BRAC’s definition – develop is the instruments and process whereby people strive for peace and prosperity.

WHICH 2010s DO YOU WANT TO GENERATE

10 For sure, I am just an amateur reporter though 25 years ago my father’s book clarified that by 2024 the difference in compounding a peoples win-win-win global and a big brother’s lose-lose-lose is at least 10 fold on terms of health and wealth http://erworld.tv  - that’s the exponential downwards we have very few years now to turn round- if you have expert question to ask on microcredit send them in and I will try and relay them to people like sam daley harris .  Why not ruthlessly edit the pieces of this message that matter most to you and start a peer to peer email as if it were a wiki that those in the community of you can invest sustainability in... please do keep in touch with your Micro Up and Yes WE Can progress out of every city!
Postscript- I also met an extrordinary sister www.aidsorphansrising.org   (Religious Teachers Fillipini) www.filippiniusa.org who is at the epicentre of 5000 schools that help orphans with aids especially in Ethiopia ,and who wants to better understand ingrid's model- she is based in morristown new jersey; if anyone is driving through there please say and i can try put you in touch; it turns out that this place is very near where sam daley harris lives and so the most active congressman on micro up side
 I jokingly but seriously chat with dr yunus about dhaka being en route to every sustainability city, maybe we should vote morristown USA as on every sustainability journey too.

the week climaxes with clinton global initiative http://www.clintonglobalinitiative.org/ourmeetings/default.asp?Section=OurMeetings&PageTitle=Our%20Meetings   - last years' CGI followed the death of lehman and made great yes we can promises- few have reached the people yet; will leaders get down to ground level now we are enetring the last deacde in which the retiurn to human sustainability expoentials is possible?

this is how we press released NY week to some of london's worst macroeconomics editors

Time 10 Q


which is the most diabolical market sector of them all? how did a paper founded to debate microeconomics get taken over by the disgraceful political chicanery of macroeconomics?


sunshades in october - did you ever bother to read my dad's classic work on terror caused by economists who cock it up when they become gurus with past theories to defend ? did you ever read founders James Wilson curious purpose of The Economist?


has ever media cocked up humanity';s sustainability like recent decades?


in november volkvagen -and other global friends of bangladesh and of the 20th fall of the wall -  will use their stadium at wolfsburg to invite 100 global brand ceos to verify whether their global market is free to value sustainability's exponentials


in december ministers miliband and alexander have invited bangladesh to lead sane climate debates in copenhagen, and probably the greatest economist of our time manmohan singh has invited Dr Yunus to speak to the Indian parliament and yet The Economist hasnt even invited Yunus to a friday lunch


I wonder which side the BBC and The Economist will turn out to have been on when the review of sustainability valuation is there for the world to see
