Sustainable development is defined as development that meets the needs of the present without endangering the ability of future generations to satisfy their needs. It is also defined as investing in human resources, given that the human being is the center of the development process, by ensuring that the three main components of sustainable development are enabled, which are economic growth, environmental stewardship and social inclusion, to distribute the fruits of economic growth achieved fairly and on a large scale, and to give opportunities to the present and future generations to participate in them, and sponsor Nature systems through rational exploitation of natural resources.
- Strengthening partnerships between civil society organizations working in the field of sustainable development and unifying their capabilities and efforts to combat poverty and achieve sustainable development.
- Increasing attention to follow-up and evaluation and making it a cornerstone of the programs and parallel to all stages of work, and not being limited to the final evaluation only.
- Interest in measuring impact and sustainability and identifying the most important factors that help the sustainability of projects.
- Paying attention to prevention alongside treatment, and not waiting for the problem to occur and then working to solve it, but we must work in advance before the problem occurs.
