Inclusive Development
Development and economic growth should be able to make a significant contribution to reduce poverty and to cut the development gaps. Penabulu believes that economic development must be carried out in a sustainable and inclusive way.
Development nowadays is an exclusive development model, which only sets the development aspects of economic growth as its goal; so, it happens sometimes that the economic growth increasing without accompanied by the equality of development, that causes high number of unemployment, high poverty rates, and widening gini ratio, as well as the degraded support of the environment, which continuously occurred as a result of the development process.
Many groups are marginalized from development because of gender, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, disability or poverty. Inequality of development has clearly become an effect of the exclusive development model. Greatest asset will always be owned only by a few people.
Inclusive development which is also reducing poverty can only be achieved if all parties want to contribute to create equal opportunities, to share the benefits of development and provide maximum space for participation in decisions making process; entirely based on respect for the values and principles of human rights, participatory, non-discriminatory and accountability.
The main strategy of inclusive development is the creation of productive and remunerative employment, the supply of an effective and save social nets in order to protect those, who are unable to work or those, who only can get a little benefits of development, also improvement of basic public services and adequate support of public policy.
The program is implemented as a developing model of local economic development, with the full involvement of the role of government, the business sector and civil society. This model is translated in the form of intervention of the program: assessment of the potential commodities/sectors, the participative development of planning documents and agreements, the development of multi-stakeholder forums, public policy advocacy is needed to build a climate of inclusive development and support for small and medium enterprises (especially those based on sustainable use of natural resources).
