DESCRIPTION
The 21st Century is likely to be marked with increasing instability and security challenges across the globe, as the combined impacts of resource shortages, climate change, ethnic and religious polarisation and societal inequalities bite ever deeper. More and more displaced communities seem inevitable. This is the prime focus of ReBuilding Lives. In this Presntation Robert Pye describes how the organization Ethos is keen to work with interested and concerned members of GlobalNet21 to “rebuild lives.” By developing infrastructure capability building, Ethos is are eager to recruit individuals and organisations with first-hand experience and to uncover some approaches to funding pilot projects and experiments. This is a great opportunity for Globalnet21 to partner with Ethos, through access to the many conversations we are engaged in, as well as the rich resource found in our members, amongst whom we undoubtedly have people with the necessary attributes who want to make a difference.

ETHOSVALUABLE OUTCOMES
Rebuilding Lives - Background
Apr 2010 We have “capability”• Sanitation / Water purification• Shelter• Communications (inc. mobile)• Logistics / Supply chain
How to use “commercially” for humanitarian purpose?• Not GD leading…• Worked together on proposition. Built a team.• GD Board had second thoughts (Nov 2010)• Ethos allowed to run the project. Adopt the name. • GD may participate rather than lead.
ETHOSVALUABLE OUTCOMES
Integrated & Sustainable: the community view
ETHOSVALUABLE OUTCOMES
Alignment of Agendas• Every person, group or organisation comes with agendas• Rather than fight this inevitability, work on reframing to produce alignment
• Poorly aligned example• Western charity built a school, to meet its agenda to feel they were helping• Failed to meet local agenda – lack of teachers (or power for the electric fan!)
ETHOSVALUABLE OUTCOMES
Alignment of Agendas• Better example: An ‘ad hoc’ car park school
• Military agenda to build relationships with local people to enhance security, give people hope and so a stake in the future
• Local agenda to educate their children for a better future• Quote “we are happy to work as cleaners that we might pay for our children to
be educated so they can work in your offices”
ETHOSVALUABLE OUTCOMES
Alignment of Agendas• Another good example: Planning and delivering an irrigation channel –
together (NATO and Afghan military officers with village elder)
• Military agenda to build relationships with local people to enhance security, give people hope and so a stake in the future
• Local agenda to increase crop production to generate additional income
ETHOSVALUABLE OUTCOMES
Wouldn’t it be great if we could deconstruct exiting capabilities and re-assemble them with in the interests of displaced communities in mind?

What we need from you
• Candidate Projects / Problems: Smaller the better really.• NOT Haiti / Horn of Africa / Single community level ideally.• MUST be able to get community representation / proxies on these projects• An integrated and sustainable effect must be within reach• MUST be able to define a problem concretely and systemically.
• Capabilities: Institutions / Companies / NGO’s to work with• The more the better. Need employees willing to be flexible Finance• A budget of £100k per pilot would enable us to scope sensibly to fit. Who
could sponsor us? Any and all ideas welcome. Fundraising on Just Giving, for example?
People• Who have first hand experience of redevelopment. Of institutions that work
in this space. Who are experienced project managers or business developers or have technical or humanitarian domain experience? Spread the word. Sign-up as a member of http://ethosvo.org
