We are witness to monumental human progress.

Svjedoci smo ogromnog ljudskog napretka.
00:16
Over the past few decades, the expansion of the global marketplace
1
16452
3433
Širenje globalnog tržišta zadnjih nekoliko desetljeća
00:19
has lifted a third of the world's population out of extreme poverty.
2
19909
4781
pomoglo je trećini svjetskog stanovništva izdići se iz ekstremnog siromaštva.
00:24
Yet we are also witness to an astounding failure.
3
24714
2979
No, također svjedočimo i zapanjujućem neuspjehu.
00:28
Our efforts to lift people up
4
28222
1766
Uložen trud u pomaganje ljudima
00:30
have left behind those in the harshest forms of poverty,
5
30012
3462
iza sebe je ostavio one u najtežim oblicima siromaštva
00:33
the ultra-poor.
6
33498
1521
– ekstremno siromašne.
00:35
What it means to be ultra-poor goes beyond the monetary definition
7
35043
4121
Biti ekstremno siromašan je daleko od novčane definicije
00:39
that we're all familiar with:
8
39188
1854
koja nam je svima poznata:
00:41
living on less than two dollars a day.
9
41066
2170
živjeti s manje od dva dolara dnevno.
00:43
It goes even beyond not having assets
10
43620
3227
Ide dalje i od neposjedovanja imovine
00:46
like livestock or land.
11
46871
2039
poput stoke ili zemlje.
00:48
To be ultra-poor means to be stripped of your dignity,
12
48934
4068
Biti ekstremno siromašan znači biti lišen dostojanstva,
00:53
purpose and self-worth.
13
53026
1632
svrhe i samopouzdanja.
00:55
It means living in isolation,
14
55114
1971
To znači živjeti u izolaciji,
00:57
because you're a burden to your own community.
15
57109
2321
jer ste teret vlastitoj zajednici.
01:00
It means being unable to imagine a better future
16
60004
3317
To znači biti nesposoban zamisliti bolju budućnost
01:03
for yourself and your family.
17
63345
1659
za sebe i svoju obitelj.
01:05
By the end of 2019,
18
65941
1823
Krajem 2019.
01:07
about 400 million people were living in ultra-poverty worldwide.
19
67788
4906
oko 400 milijuna ljudi je živjelo u ekstremnom siromaštvu diljem svijeta.
01:12
That's more than the populations of the United States and Canada combined.
20
72718
4607
To je više od ukupnog stanovništva SAD-a i Kanade zajedno.
01:18
And when calamity strikes,
21
78071
1671
A kada zadesi nevolja,
01:19
whether it's a pandemic, a natural disaster or a manmade crisis,
22
79766
4533
bila to pandemija, prirodna nepogoda ili kriza uzrokovana ljudskom rukom,
01:24
these numbers spike astronomically higher.
23
84323
2865
ti brojevi astronomski rastu.
01:28
My father, Fazle Abed, gave up a corporate career
24
88038
3776
Moj otac, Fazle Abed, napustio je korporativni svijet
01:31
to establish BRAC here in Bangladesh in 1972.
25
91838
3879
kako bi utemeljio BRAC ovdje u Bangladešu 1972. godine.
01:35
Bangladesh was a wreck,
26
95741
1831
Bangladeš je bio u rasulu
01:37
having just gone through a devastating cyclone
27
97596
2926
nakon razarajućeg ciklona
01:40
followed by a brutal war for independence.
28
100546
2819
kojem je slijedio nemilosrdni rat za neovisnost.
01:43
Working with the poorest of the poor, my father realized
29
103849
3583
Radeći s najsiromašnijima, moj je otac shvatio
01:47
that poverty was more than the lack of income and assets.
30
107456
4161
da je siromaštvo više od nedostatka prihoda i imovine
01:51
It was also a lack of hope.
31
111641
2530
– također je i nedostatak nade.
01:54
People were trapped in poverty,
32
114965
2084
Ljudi su bili zarobljeni u siromaštvu
01:57
because they felt their condition was immutable.
33
117073
3723
jer su smatrali da je njihovo stanje nepromjenjivo.
02:00
Poverty, to them, was like the sun and the moon --
34
120820
3008
Za njih je siromaštvo bilo poput sunca i mjeseca
02:03
something given to them by God.
35
123852
2324
– nešto dano im od Boga.
02:06
For poverty reduction programs to succeed,
36
126703
2918
Kako bi programi za smanjenje siromaštva bili uspješni,
02:09
they would need to instill hope and self-worth
37
129645
3030
trebali su usaditi nadu i samopoštovanje,
02:12
so that, with a little support,
38
132699
2108
tako da se ljudi sami, uz malo pomoći,
02:14
people could lift themselves out of poverty.
39
134831
2446
izvuku iz siromaštva.
02:17
BRAC went on to pioneer the graduation approach,
40
137737
3391
Organizacija BRAC je bila prva u stupnjevitom pristupu,
02:21
a solution to ultra-poverty that addresses both income poverty
41
141152
4081
rješenju za ekstremno siromašne koje se bavilo novčanim siromaštvom
02:25
and the poverty of hope.
42
145257
1722
kao i siromaštvom nade.
02:27
The approach works primarily with women,
43
147487
2396
Pristup se prvenstveno odnosi na žene,
02:29
because women are the most affected by ultra-poverty
44
149907
3234
jer su one najviše pogođene ekstremnim siromaštvom,
02:33
but also the ones most likely to pull themselves and their families
45
153165
3339
no ujedno je najvjerojatnije da će pomoći sebi i svojim obiteljima
02:36
out of it.
46
156528
1152
izvući se iz te situacije.
02:37
Over a two-year period,
47
157704
1633
Tijekom dvije godine
02:39
we essentially do four things.
48
159361
2067
u biti napravimo četiri stvari.
02:41
One, we meet a woman's basic needs
49
161769
3220
Kao prvo, pomognemo ženi s osnovnim potrebama
02:45
by giving her food or cash,
50
165013
2495
dajući joj hranu ili gotovinu,
02:47
ensuring the minimum to survive.
51
167532
2580
osiguravajući minimum za preživjeti.
02:50
Two, we move her towards a decent livelihood
52
170136
3226
Kao drugo, krećemo prema pristojnom preživljavanju
02:53
by giving her an asset, like livestock,
53
173386
2883
dajući joj imovinu, kao što je stoka,
02:56
and training her to earn money from it.
54
176293
2764
i uvježbavajući je da zaradi novac od istoga.
02:59
Three, we train her to save, budget
55
179081
3274
Kao treće, obučavamo je da štedi, raspodijeli
03:02
and invest her new wealth.
56
182379
1869
i ulaže u novu imovinu.
03:04
And four, we help to integrate her socially,
57
184272
3548
I kao četvrto, pomažemo joj da se socijalno integrira,
03:07
first into groups of women like her
58
187844
2336
prvo u skupine žena slične njoj,
03:10
and then into her community.
59
190204
1853
a nakon toga u svoju zajednicu.
03:12
Each of these elements is key to the success of the others,
60
192573
3674
Svaki od ovih elemenata je ključ uspjeha drugom,
03:16
but the real magic is the hope and sense of possibility
61
196271
3738
ali prava čarolija leži u nadi i smislu za mogućnosti
03:20
the women develop through the close mentorship they receive.
62
200033
3569
kojeg žene dobiju pomoću bliskog mentorstva koje im je pruženo.
03:24
Let me tell you about Jorina.
63
204098
2371
Ispričat ću vam priču o Jorini.
03:26
Jorina was born in a remote village in northern Bangladesh.
64
206493
4440
Jorina je rođena u osamljenom selu u sjevernom Bangladešu.
03:30
She never went to school,
65
210957
1492
Nikada nije išla u školu,
03:32
and at the age of 15, she was married off to an abusive husband.
66
212473
4174
a sa 15 godina vjenčana je za nasilnog supruga.
03:36
He eventually abandoned her,
67
216671
2039
Naposljetku ju je napustio,
03:38
leaving her with no income
68
218734
1780
ostavljajući je bez prihoda
03:40
and two children who were not in school and were severely malnourished.
69
220538
4509
i s dvoje djece koja nisu išla u školu i bila su ozbiljno pothranjena.
03:45
With no one to turn to for help,
70
225071
2265
Kako se nikome nije mogla obratiti za pomoć,
03:47
she had no hope.
71
227360
1468
bila je bez nade.
03:49
Jorina joined BRAC's Graduation program in 2005.
72
229366
4168
Jorina se pridružila programu BRAC u 2005. godini.
03:54
She received a dollar a week,
73
234050
1949
Dobila je dolar svaki tjedan,
03:56
two cows,
74
236023
1159
dvije krave,
03:57
enterprise training
75
237206
1551
obuku za poduzetništvo
03:58
and a weekly visit from a mentor.
76
238781
2238
i tjedni posjet mentora.
04:01
She began to build her assets,
77
241499
1965
Počela je graditi svoju imovinu,
04:03
but most importantly,
78
243488
1695
no najvažnije je
04:05
she began to imagine a better future for herself and her children.
79
245207
3893
da je počela zamišljati bolju budućnost za sebe i svoju djecu.
04:09
If you were visit Jorina's village today,
80
249611
2845
Kad biste danas posjetili Jorinino selo,
04:12
you would find that she runs the largest general store in her area.
81
252480
3946
našli biste je kako vodi najveću trgovinu mješovite robe na svom području.
04:16
She will proudly show you the land she bought
82
256450
2476
Ponosno će vam pokazati zemljište koje je kupila
04:18
and the house she built.
83
258950
1559
i kuću koju je sagradila.
04:21
Since we began this program in 2002,
84
261125
3220
Otkad smo počeli s programom u 2002. godini,
04:24
two million Bangladeshi women
85
264369
1912
dva milijuna žena iz Bangladeša
04:26
have lifted themselves and their families out of ultra-poverty.
86
266305
3858
pomogle su sebi i svojim obiteljima izaći iz ekstremnog siromaštva.
04:30
That's almost nine million people.
87
270187
2339
To je skoro devet milijuna ljudi.
04:33
The program, which costs 500 dollars per household,
88
273026
3597
Program, koji košta 500 dolara po domaćinstvu,
04:36
runs for only two years,
89
276647
1709
aktivan je samo dvije godine,
04:38
but the impact goes well beyond that.
90
278380
2584
ali učinak seže dalje od toga.
04:40
Researchers at the London School of Economics found
91
280988
3043
Istraživači s Londonske škole ekonomije su dokazali
04:44
that even seven years after entering the program,
92
284055
2851
da čak sedam godina nakon ulaska u program
04:46
92 percent of participants had maintained or increased
93
286930
4534
92 posto sudionika je održalo ili povećalo
04:51
their income, assets and consumption.
94
291488
2504
svoje prihode, imovinu i potrošnju.
04:54
Esther Duflo and Abhijit Banerjee,
95
294531
2267
Esther Duflo i Abhijit Banerjee,
04:56
the MIT economists who won the Nobel Prize last year,
96
296822
3417
ekonomisti s MIT-a koji su osvojili Nobelovu nagradu prošle godine,
05:00
led multicountry evaluations
97
300263
2386
vodili su procjene u više zemalja koje su izdvojile
05:02
that identified graduation as one of the most effective ways
98
302673
3921
stupnjeviti pristup kao jedan od najučinkovitijih načina
05:06
to break the poverty trap.
99
306618
1755
za bijeg iz klopke siromaštva.
05:08
But my father wasn't content
100
308742
2043
Ali moj otac nije bio zadovoljan
05:10
to have found a solution that worked for some people.
101
310809
3257
s rješenjem koje pomaže samo nekim ljudima.
05:14
He always wanted to know whether we were being ambitious enough
102
314090
3526
Uvijek je želio znati jesmo li dovoljno ambiciozni
05:17
in terms of scale.
103
317640
1373
u smislu razmjera.
05:19
So when we achieved nationwide scale in Bangladesh,
104
319037
3739
Kada smo postigli razmjer diljem cijele nacije Bangladeša,
05:22
he wanted to know how we could scale it globally.
105
322800
3100
htio je znati možemo li primijeniti isto na globalnoj razini.
05:26
And that has to involve governments.
106
326313
2654
To je moralo uključiti vlade.
05:28
Governments already dedicate billions of dollars
107
328991
2790
Vlade već odvaju milijarde dolara
05:31
on poverty reduction programs.
108
331805
2446
na programe smanjivanja siromaštva.
05:34
But so much of that money is wasted,
109
334275
2557
No, velik dio tog novca je izgubljen,
05:36
because these programs either don't reach the poorest,
110
336856
3137
jer ti programi ne dopiru do najsiromašnijih,
05:40
and even the ones that do fail to have significant long-term impact.
111
340017
4457
a oni koji i dođu nažalost nemaju dugoročan učinak.
05:45
We are working to engage governments
112
345085
2654
Naš rad želi uključiti vlade
05:47
to help them to adopt and scale graduation programs themselves,
113
347763
4438
i pomoći im da sami usvoje i postave stupnjevite programe
05:52
maximizing the impact of the billions of dollars
114
352225
3903
kako bi maksimalno pojačali učinak milijardi dolara
05:56
they already allocate to fight ultra-poverty.
115
356152
3027
koje već dodijeluju borbi protiv ekstremnog siromaštva.
05:59
Our plan is to help another 21 million people
116
359898
3960
Naš plan je pomoći još 21 milijunu ljudi
06:03
lift themselves out of ultra-poverty
117
363882
2467
izvući se iz ekstremnog siromaštva
06:06
in eight countries over the next six years
118
366373
3204
u osam zemalja u sljedećih šest godina,
06:09
with BRAC teams on-site and embedded in each country.
119
369601
4152
s pomoću timova organizacije BRAC na licu mjesta i kao dio svake države.
06:14
In July of 2019, my father was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer
120
374410
5404
U srpnju 2019. mome ocu je dijagnosticiran rak mozga u zadnjem stadiju
06:19
and given four months to live.
121
379838
1884
s još četiri mjeseca za život.
06:22
As he transitioned out of BRAC after leading the organization for 47 years,
122
382360
5174
Dok je napuštao organizaciju nakon što je vodio program 47 godina,
06:27
he reminded us that throughout his life,
123
387558
2971
podsjetio nas je kako je tijekom života
06:30
he saw optimism triumph over despair,
124
390553
3253
vidio pobjedu optimizma nad očajem,
06:33
that when you light the spark of self-belief in people,
125
393830
3324
i da kad zapalite iskru samopouzdanja u ljudima,
06:37
even the poorest can transform their lives.
126
397178
3398
čak i najsiromašniji mogu promijeniti svoj život.
06:41
My father passed away in December.
127
401375
2167
Otac je umro u prosincu.
06:45
He lit that spark for millions of people,
128
405149
3374
Zapalio je tu iskru miljunima ljudi
06:48
and in the final days of his life,
129
408547
2011
i zadnjih dana svoga života
06:50
he implored us to continue to do so for millions more.
130
410582
4764
nas je preklinjao da nastavimo činiti to još milijunima ljudi.
06:55
This opportunity is ours for the taking,
131
415887
3084
Ova prilika je sad naša,
06:58
so let's stop imagining a world without ultra-poverty
132
418995
3471
pa hajdemo ne zamišljati svijet bez ekstremno siromašnih,
07:02
and start building that world together.
133
422490
2835
već krenimo zajedno graditi taj svijet.
07:05
Thank you.
134
425707

Hvala vam.
