HDC Nepal Six-Folds Approach
Six-Folds Approach
The Six-Fold Approach—encompassing Equity, Education, Self-Government, Health, Accountability, and Sustainable Livelihoods—serves as a comprehensive framework for fostering inclusive and sustainable community development. Equity ensures fair access to resources and opportunities, striving to eliminate disparities and promote justice for all individuals, regardless of their background. Education empowers communities by providing knowledge and skills essential for personal growth and societal participation, fostering lifelong learning and adaptability. Self-Government emphasizes local autonomy, allowing communities to make decisions that best reflect their unique needs and aspirations. Health focuses on accessible, holistic healthcare, addressing physical, mental, and social well-being to reduce inequalities and enhance quality of life. Accountability is crucial for maintaining trust and transparency, ensuring that individuals, organizations, and governments are answerable for their actions and commitments. Finally, Sustainable Livelihoods aim to create economic opportunities that are both environmentally sound and socially equitable, supporting resilient communities and promoting long-term well-being. Together, these approaches work to build empowered, healthy, and self-sustaining communities.
