PROViDE offers long-term ecological solutions to stimulate struggling economies in areas of developing nations recovering from disaster. Our key guiding principles include: Participation in recovery and livelihood enhancement projects more effectually invests people in their own long-term recuperation. Creating innovative solutions by synthesizing traditional and scientific knowledge must include affected community members in every step: needs assessment, design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Improvements to initiatives must be cyclical and based on evaluation by community participants and technical supporters. Indices of success and effectiveness include eventually handing over every element of a project to local constituents. Empower individuals and communities with skills and knowledge rather than handouts and charity. Sustainability must balance social, economic and ecological elements, AKA, the triple bottom-line.
