In order to solve global problems we have to think and develop solutions hyper-locally.

To foster local problem solving that scales, we need global machinery.

My Argument: (more)

In order to solve global problems we have to develop hyper-local technical expertise

In many of the places where UNICEF works no one wants to invest in building those skills
