We believe in the full participation of the people in development that benefits every body, in a development process where the people are the cause of development rather than recipients and mere spectators.

1. Participatory Processes

We believe that people must be active participants in any development process or programme(s) intended to improve their lives or transform the context and conditions within which they live and upon which their well being depends.

2. Sustainable and Integrated Approach

We believe that the development process must be dictated by the recipients to conform with traditional practices and in order for it to be sustainable, and must also take into account the spiritual, mental, physical and emotional aspects of an individual, the family, the community and the country.

3. Equality and Social Justice

We believe in the equal participation of all adults (women and men), youth and children of all backgrounds and abilities, and allows equal spread of benefit and access to services. The three main language groups with their different cultures must participate equally to work and live together; and likewise, the different religious groups are to participate equally and should not be over looked.
