Development is lasting and sustainable if it is
fully guided by the parameters and strategies:
SOCIAL
- The family is strengthened in its role nurturing
free, equally appreciated, responsible, creative and caring individuals
who are the essence of society, so that threats to the integrity
of the family are effectively addressed through, among others,
regeneration of family values.
- The root causes of violence and conflict are
addressed so that peace and sustainable development, which are
interrelated and indivisible are achieved and maintained.
- A sustainable population level, structure and
distribution are achieved and maintained through education, family
life and responsible parenthood training, reduction of socioeconomic
and gender inequity, geographically and ecologically balanced
development and life-enhancing policies among others.
- Sustainable human settlements, characterized,
among other, by equitable access to adequate shelter for all,
are promoted and ensured. The settlements provide for satisfaction
of basic needs that make for decent living including security
of land and tenure and ancestral domain, equality education, livelihood,
leisure, freedom, water, health, housing, sanitation, infrastructure
and communication.
- The integral link among indigenous peoples, nature
and land is recognized; the rights of indigenous peoples to their
ancestral domain are recognized and protected. Their culture respected;
and their indigenous knowledge and practices taken as guides to
sustainable resource management.
- Environmental and social awareness as well as
the development of environmental, social and biological ethics
are vigorously promoted.
- Unsustainable lifestyle consumption patterns
and luxurious and/or excessive consumption are discouraged through
economic, social and regulatory instruments.
- Fragile and threatened communities are given
special consideration with regards to their greater vulnerability
in the face of development plans, programs and projects.
- Social, spatial and inter-generation equity and
justice are promoted in guiding the planning, implementation and
approval of policies, programs and activities.
- Development activities and interventions are
undertaken with primary aim of building the capacities of communities
for self-reliance in consideration of their self-dignity and inherent
capacity to improve their own lives.
- Delivery of social services, notably accessible
and equality education and health care, is accorded equally high
priority in financial and investment policy and programming.
- The youth, which represent one entire generation
of sectors and individuals, will take up the cudgels and participate
in the crusade towards realizing the goals and vision of East
Pacific "AAA" Foundation, Incorporated. As such they
should be provided with the necessary support structures for educational
