How about through-tie with rebar? We are considering this for double brick thickness walls. We could use technical help on this.
 
*Rebar can get very expensive in the developing world.  The galvinized wire reinforcing is much lighter, (aka a shipping container from these guys as an examle - [http://post-trade-leads.com/54/sell%20Masonry%20Accessories-ladder%20reinforcement%20mesh.php] ,  **probably could provide better resistance to earthquake, simular pricing to rebar per pound, and probably 5 times the support per pound of material) as well as not needing double thickness which cuts down on labor.
