RFP programs are educational at root. Education has its origins in the Latin educare/educere, "to lead out." Leading describes well what the donor does, but good leadership never forgets that its long-term goal is not to create followers but more leaders.
Therefore in its activities RFP values:
- Responsibility
- Practicality
- Honesty
- Cultural and Ethic Sensitivity
- Sustainability
- Accountability
- Integrity
- Self Sufficiency
- Mutual Respect
