• The community can use both internal and external resources to achieve change, drawing on its own strength and capabilities and looking beyond its boundaries for extra resources.
• The participation of citizens within the community should be as inclusive as possible. Although not all citizens need to participate, inclusive participation means that all segments in a community are given an opportunity and are actively encouraged to participate.
