Nine Principles of Development and Reconstruction Assistance
These principles guide U.S. development and reconstruction
assistance. They are fundamental to the success of assistance
as an instrument of U.S. foreign policy and national security.
The principles are not a checklist, but rather a summary of
the characteristics of successful assistance to achieve development
objectives including economic growth, democracy and governance,
and social transition.
Ownership
Build on the leadership, participation, and commitment of
a country and its people.
Capacity-Building
Strengthen local institutions, transfer technical skills,
and promote appropriate policies.
Sustainability
Design programs to ensure their impact endures.
Selectivity
Allocate resources based on need, local commitment, and foreign
policy interests.
Assessment
Conduct careful research, adapt best practices, and design
for local conditions.
Results
Focus resources to achieve clearly defined, measurable and
strategically-focused objectives.
Partnership
Collaborate closely with governments, communities, donors,
NGOs, the private sector, international organizations, and
universities.
Flexibility
Adjust to changing conditions, take advantage of opportunities,
and maximize efficiency.
Accountability
Design accountability and transparency into systems and build
effective checks and
balances to guard against corruption.
