would millions of youth most like to interact round as free online training on how to design
job-creating banks? Next Deadline: I am having a meeting in dhaka with yunus on may 12 to see how to kickstart
youth's involvement in the free online university yunus announced at climax of 10th skoll world championships -here
are a few examples emerging from youth's freedom to understand actions beyond theory my recommendation
to dr yunus is to build courses through linking up maximum 12 minute presentations - for example this is the most workable
format at coursera where presentation modules comprise a you-tube style video with an accompanying set of slide 12.1 Apart from financial
literacy mentoring skills, what sorts of skills does a grameen bank branch manager need to be able to serve the 60 village
centre visits that a grameen branch makes each week to 60 members at a time
12.2 One of Bangladesh's greatest innovations in transforming value chains
to fully integrate the poorest is microfranchises. Some microfranchises have replicated over 100000 jobs with the same sustainable
job description across the village centres. Can we see a league table of most job-creating microfranchises - past and current?
Also which of these may be most specific to Bangladesh, and which could be most transferable?
12.3 Dr Yunus has been described by Members of US Congress as a genius economist
and great humanitarian. Could he clarify some of the economic design rules that he believes are most important for all youth
- be these aiming to be job creating in developing world or the developed world? Where/how can we scale this debate so that
all economists and politicians transparently engage in which of dr yunus' pro-youth economic principles they value and which
they don't
12.4 Dr Yunus has been experimenting with mobile apps in village longer than any banker or economist.
In Year 17 of these experiments, what would he recommend as hottest apps that all youth and microcredit leaders should know
about and what segment as vital apps depending which other services beyond finance a particular MFI was founded to communally
regenerate?

Trust: How and Why do The Economist and
Muhammad Yunus map pro-youth economics In 2013 , The Economist
celebrates its 170th birthday as the mediator of end hunger and pro-youth economics. During the 40 years my father Norman Macrae worked at The Economist he developed Entrepreneurial Revolution as the genre for investing in how the net generation creates 3 billion new jobs: 
| 1 billion clean energy 1 billion celebrating how to web the billion times more collaborative technology of e- 1 billion - community sustaining jobs - the simplest definition of a peaceful and loving world required
for the borderless 3rd millennum (and the most exciting goals youth can co-produce) is one where the next child can be born
in any community (global village) and have a fair chance of growing up entrepreneurially free and happy - as wished for in

grameen developed
a 100000 hub model grounded round its members networking- originally village centers of 60 poorest mothers were community
market, knowledge-action space as well as weekly banking practice communities. This bottom-up structure became mobilised in
1996 with grameen phone. So yunus social womens networks have had longer than anyone to test the most life saving apps which
is why from 2011 he concluded that nurses would become the most valued vilage networkers of live saving apps; also in 1996
the energy division. grameen shakti was born -see the briliant biography "Green Energy for a Billion Poor" by
Nancy Wimmer so on behalf of The Economist founder James Wilson,
my dad, and all friends of dr yunus or Bangladesh's bottom-up pro-youth economics at 42 - please tell us of places -eg Scotland, Japan, Alabama, North Carolina - where we can we bridge the 100000 grameen hubs with hubs wherever youth
(and specially girl power's nursing networks) compete to collaboratively create jobs

Charter of Grameen Bank q1 What would world uniquely miss if grameen bank had never existed-
A1 Youth Investment Banking just at decade 2010s when worldwide youth could be 10 times more productive than ever before (discuss) particularly serving 3 half of the world's populations - youth women poorest q1a what would the world miss without girl power? A1a I need
help (eg from journalists like Michael Palin) in answering this question but suspect sustainability of communities and
cross-cultural celebrations are goodwill multiplying impacts of girl empowerment -more technically I am a keynsian
in believeing that the family is the basic molecule of value exchnage economics so see empowerment of girls, youth and parents
as highly inter=retaled wherever social networkng -and indeed all media - leads to positive outcomes by and for all the
peoples q2 What would the world uniquely miss if the first three services of Grameen Bank
hadn't been loans, savings, carrots?At Grameen Bank , the membership owners as the world poorest
mothers, decided the purpose of family savings: investing in next generation's productivity
- especially their children's health and job-creating education. They were mentored in the
purpose of loans: to optimise your microentrepreneurial lifetime income
generating capacity through valued community services - and that back in 1980 the most economical franchise for a bank
was a vilage centre of each 60 vilage women where they could pracrice not only laons and savings once a week but own a community
marketpllace and knowledge sharing hu8b. So how did carrots become the 3rd service bank managers brought on their weekly visits.
Yunus noticed that most of the vilage infants were night blind- health experts told him this was caused by insufficient vitamins
in childrens diets.This could be simply cured by helping mothers introduce carrots int meals. So bank managers started bringing
one cent packets of carrot seds, vegetable gardens started twinning with every 60 village mother centre, and organic carrot agriculture became a microentreprenurial buisness of healthcare's integration in village development. Q4 What is the most economic space for banking branches designed round community's inter-generational
invetsments in sustainability? A4 Designing a bank branch as a social
network of job creation seemed very valuable as long as ways of innovating this banking architecture could be celebrate
over time. 15 years after the vilage centre and vegetable garden branching of Grameen, the idea moved up a
level where the banking centre also became the hub of sharing mobile telecoms. 15 years later today;s big chalenge is whether
casheless mobile banking goes branchless or is still integrated around 100000 hub centres. Both experiments are being tried
out as bangladesh races to be asian region's straqtegic leader of bank a billion - the next billion people who couldnt
be banked for until technology made dealing with 5 cent transactions affordable q5 Given that
in the early 1980s the pass book in which mothers kept their savings account became the most visible innovation illiterate
villagers had ever seen - the question arose- what adversisement should appear on the grameen bank pass book front cover?
A5 It was entrepreneurally discovered that an illustration of oral rehydration
and weekly discussions of how to hub this knowledge was the greatest value multiplier of rural village ads.

| Can you help us with the most relevant Q&A on The Grameen Bank
- background I started reseraching Bangladesh's exciting contributions to mobilising net generation's productivity and

Dad didnt quite make it passing in 2010. So his remembrance parties are one way of action debriefing
people on my 20 interviews with muhammad yunus, the birthday wish parties with yunus we helped co-sponsor in Dhaka and Glasgow;

with Adam Smith Scholars at Galsgow University as the biggest wish of Yunus's 7th decade we felt capable of developing as
a worldwide youth collaboration (more at www.yunus10000.com ) Q Where to go to partner with microcredits that offer
the most productive youthworldbanking? Time permitting we try to track this at www.microcredit.tv by converging information from massinve data logs like http://yunuscity.ning.com but truth be told a most reliable space is www.wholeplanetfoundation.org - wholefoods is on a mission to double every 3 years the support it structures in developing jobs in communities
where it sources products for America's most nutritious supermarket. By 2011 it had helped make its first million (jobs sustainable).
To do this it needs to choose partnerships with the most trusted microcredits around the world. Beyond the original
Bangladeshi microcredits, some of our favorites are www.jamiibora.org in kenya, www.microloanfoundation.org in Malawi a country the Macrae family has a particular concern for, and affiliates of www.adie.org the most sensible microbabanking network yet availabe for ending unemployment across Europe - if you have
any experiences of these 3 organsiations tat you want to be relayed to their founders we will be happy to help do this. |

transcript of 40 minute video interview of Mrs Nurjahan Begum July 2008- Female co-founder of Grameen Bank 1976 and leader
researcher on 16 Decision culture of what village mothers wanted to invest in across generations
2011 The Grameen Bank has existed for 35 years of the wonderful entrepreneneurial nation of Bangladesh- 40 years old in 2011. BACK FROM THE FUTURE In 2011 The Grameen Bank took a new trajectory. At the end
of 2010, apparent shareholdings were 97% poorest members of The Grameen Bank; 3% government. After 7 years of concept
development, The Grameen Bank was founded by a special Bangladeshi Law in 1983. In 2011, there have been legal disputes that seem to depend on who the judiciary reports to as to whether this
law separated The Grameen Bank from general laws that apply to other banks regulated by Bangaldesh parliament. One of these
general laws is that the managing director of a bank has to get permission from top of government to continue office after
60 - whether or not the majority of the shareholders -or board - wish this change. Another area of dispute is whether
government intervention in the bank - should it cause the need to refinnace the bank - can be a valid reason for chnaging
ownership away from the poorest and towards government officials. Q Who founded and led the bank until the end
of 2010? A) There were 4 co-founders led by Muhammad Yunus. Up until the end of 2009 they acted as the most productive
34 year old team of entrepreneurial revolution (as studied since 1976 survey coining the term in The Economist). The youngest co-founder, Dipal Barua left at the end of 2009 over a dispute which seems to involve how to spend the
$1mn dolar prize awarded to Dipal on behalf of Graeem Shakti as the world's favorite example of solar energy grassroots
networking. By Spring 2011, Muhamamd Yunus was forced out of managing directorship of The Grameen Bank on the sole legal grounds
of being over 60. Mrs Begum, the female co-founder was asked to be acting managing director of the bank until Auguat 2011.
The government then appointed Muhammad ShahJan. Our blog posts some links tio the view sof Mohammad ShahJahan

As an internationalist Scot, dad's celebration
of entrepreneurship didnt believe much in big economic gurus. What excited him -and microeconomists who valued him - included
deep context knowhow underscoring simple intergenerational trend measures. A simple one is: which places have
relentlessly increased life expectancy and productivity of families - by definition growing life expectancy and sustainable
growth of a nation go together, Better still these dynmaics grow all -especially neighbours- who positively
interconnect with such an exciting place learning what it has uniquely dioscovered; there is more for the world to action
learn from rural banagladesh's hubbing of innovation communities at its first 40 years of generation than anywhere

Muhammad Shah Jahan quoted in June 2010
Key Success of Grameen Bank: Women and Open Source 
Microfinance institution in Bangladesh, Grameen Bank, founded by Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus of Economics in 2006
acknowledged the economy had become the driving wheel of a country. Inevitably, they also become an example for other countries. It
turns out that success can be achieved this financial institution
because of two main factors: Namely women and open source. Why is that? According
to Muhammad Shah Jahan, the General Manager and Chief Financial Officer
of Grameen Bank, almost 97% of Grameen Bank clients totaling 25 million are women.
“Because
she was family oriented, on the values of kindness. They will consider the family, his children before they act,” he
said during a conversation after the workshop ‘Microfinance Business & Information Technology’ Vision Sharing
held at the Royal Plaza, Singapore. The man who is also
deputy Muhammad Yunus added that ordinary women to act more responsibly and honestly because more attention to this family. The
difference is with men, he added, which tend to be less indifferent to the family. In fact, often betrayed wife and kids when
obtaining success. “Based on experience, our female customers very obedient compliance with loan installment. Therefore, the total loan
repayment rates reached 97.11 percent. The ratio of bad loans
of less than 3 percent,” said Shah Jahan. Furthermore, he said that the secret to success is the Grameen Bank
further implementation of information technology based on open source. “We’re not a rich country. Half the
people we are poor. Thus for IT infrastructure, we use crude
and cheap-cheap. Open source is our best choice,” he said. One of the open source-based application that became the mainstay of Grameen Bank is MIFOS (Microfinance Opensource).
These applications implement the concept of web based management information system.
