Transparency: responses to poverty should ensure everyone affected has access to information, and clarity and transparency about decision-making processes and actions. Sustainability: responses to poverty should include proactive long-term measures aimed at achieving significant development targets. Certainty: responses to poverty should be based on the application of accepted laws and standards, to ensure predictability and support accountability, participation, and transparency.
