6.is community-based in orientation;

7.promotes active participation in all levels of development (from needs assessment, through planning, implementation, evaluation and beyond) by developing people themselves;

8. bases development activities on culturally appropriate, community-based, participatory research;

9. balances bottom-up and top-down approaches;

10. provides proactive, catalytic support to developing communities and programs based on a clearly defined relationship that underscores the people’s ownership of the program.
