OUR DEVELOPMENT CORE VALUES AND PRINCIPLES

1. Starting from what exists within communities: Full Gospel Ministries Development Program (FGMDP) will not go into communities with its own set agenda but will support community demand-driven projects. Working with active groups will ensure this value is preserved. 2. Pro-Poor: FGMDP identifies priorities and allocates resources on a pro-poor basis, giving priority to vulnerable people and communities. 3. Empowered Communities: FGMDP believes that communities are resourceful and that empowered communities are a prerequisite for improving individual and community development. We work with and through communities, putting their interests and opinions first. 4. Strategic Partnerships: FGMDP believes in strategic partnerships as a means to conduct successful and sustainable interventions. FGMDP develops and nurtures partnerships with like-minded organizations that share our core values and strategic focus. 5. Gender Equity: FGMDP is committed to mainstreaming gender considerations in all of its interventions. As FGMDP strives to abolish gender inequalities, we make a conscious effort to remove unfair practices and promote the well-being of both genders. 6. Non-discrimination: Adhering to international conventions, FGMDP does not condone discrimination based on sex, religion, race or culture, internally or in its programmes and interventions. 7. Professional Standards: FGMDP aims to set high professional and ethical standards and monitors these closely within our projects, among ourselves and among those with whom we partner. 8. Transparency and Accountability: FGMDP believes in honest communication, absolute openness, and the transparent use of influence, power and resources. FGMDP has zero tolerance for corruption, both within the organization and in our dealings with outside agencies. 9. Sustainability: Through advocacy and empowerment, FGMDP aims to enable communities and of the formal system to sustain mutually designed and implemented interventions. 10. Evidence-based Policy and Practice: FGMDP uses its grassroots work with communities to generate and document evidence aimed at influencing donor/government policies and practices that bring about lasting benefits to the most vulnerable groups and communities. 11. Innovation: FGMDP upholds a commitment to innovation in our work and the work of our partners. We constantly develop and encourage new, effective methods and tools for improving the health of communities.
