As long as the organization remains active and operational, all staff members, volunteers, stakeholders, and administrative bodies of RDA shall uphold the following shared values and standards:
Commitment to National Interest, Patriotism, and Sovereignty
Patriotism and the national interest shall guide all our actions. National sovereignty and dignity will always take precedence over individual or group interests. We will honor and promote the positive elements of our cultural heritage with respect and pride.
Empowerment and Participation
We believe that every individual—especially rural communities—has the right to develop their inherent potential. Ensuring meaningful participation of members and communities in planning and implementation is central to our organizational philosophy.
Justice, Equity, and Inclusion
All organizational decisions and activities will be grounded in fairness and equity. We are committed to ensuring the meaningful inclusion of women, children, adolescents, youth, the poor, and persons with disabilities in every aspect of our work.
Integrity, Responsibility, and Accountability
Maintaining integrity and responsibility in all actions, financial practices, and relationships is our priority. We believe that no one—regardless of wealth, religion, ethnicity, gender, occupation, or ability—should face discrimination, and all individuals deserve equal rights and justice.
We remain transparent and accountable to our primary stakeholders and partners, ensuring clarity in decisions, communication, and operational effectiveness.
Innovation and Excellence
We embrace new ideas, technologies, and creative solutions to enhance the quality and impact of our programs. We strive for the highest standards of behavior and performance.
This requires continuous renewal, reform, and improvement of our systems and work practices. We believe in learning, taking measured risks, and viewing failure as a pathway to improvement.
To achieve excellence, we commit to transparency, accountability, timeliness, cost-effectiveness, and the use of appropriate and sustainable approaches.
Mutual Respect and Gender-Responsive Environment
We recognize that every individual is unique and creative, and we believe in human equality.
Mutual respect—toward people and their environment—forms the foundation of true participation, empowerment, inspiration, and commitment.
RDA promotes an organizational culture rooted in respect and gender equality, where all individuals are valued as human beings—not defined solely by gender.
Where necessary, we provide targeted support to safeguard and advance the rights of women and girls.
Effectiveness and Impact
Our initiatives must remain goal-oriented and impactful. We are committed to using time, resources, and opportunities efficiently to maximize development outcomes.
Respect for Diversity
We believe diversity is a defining strength of every community and a source of creativity and progress. We commit to respecting diversity and actively fostering unity, social cohesion, and inclusiveness.
Environmental Responsibility
We acknowledge our responsibility toward nature and the environment. RDA is committed to adopting sustainable and environmentally responsible practices in all activities and promoting climate-conscious actions across communities.
