Reminder: "His Highness the Aga Khan's advices for leaders which enable sound national and community progress and development

"[D]evelopment is only possible when the community is engaged at the grassroots level and is given the ways and the means to take responsibility for its own future." His Highness the Aga Khan's 2006 Address to the Conference on Afghanistan (London, UK)"

WEBCAST:"Societies can best strengthen themselves by mobilizing their own dynamic forces rather than relying on external support and direction." Imam has desired REORIENTATION since 2002; I have so far not succeeded in influencing the mindset of local leadership as well as institutions towards this direction, read and listen to this in the DJ webcast as well the succeeding paragraphs:
: "We have a system in Pakistan of Jamati governance and AKDN activities which is actually dysfunctional. What I have said to the leaders is that I have been aware of this functionality for a long time, but I have never put it on the table because it was not the right time. I put it to you now because at that time the environment was unpredictable"
Mawlana Hazar Imam defines what he means by civil society and discusses the contribution of private institutions to public goals at Institut d'Etudes Politiques de Paris on 15 June 2007.

Same year major policy change intimated to all institutions."CIVIL SOCIETYLEARNING MATERIAL" compiled and published as a solid step towards REORIENTATION introduced through constitution issued in 1998.

Putting local communities at the centre of their own development means that interventions will be directly relevant to their needs, and contribute to long-term sustainability. #AKDN currently supports 123 grasssroots Village Development Organisations in Cabo Delgado,

Self Reliance is a big part of the ethics on which #AKDN is built.
To help these organisations become effective and self-reliant, AKDN offers resources and training for essential administrative skills such as record-keeping, accounting and methods of good governance. It also helps communities to lobby for change by working in collaboration with other villages when liaising with the government.

Words of Wisdom from the Guide:

"A vast decentralisation of decision-making is already occurring in many countries; it has the advantage of placing new responsibilities in the hands of local communities.... For the key to future progress will lie less in traditional top-down systems of command and control -- and more in a broad, bottom-up spirit of coordination and cooperation."
"Social progress, in the long run, will not be found by delegating a dominant role to any one player- but rather through multi-sector partnerships. And within each sector of society, diversity should be a watchword. Healthy communities must respect a range of educational choices ... [The Ummah] must become full and even leading participants in the Knowledge Society of the 21st Century. That will mean embracing the values of collaboration and coordination, openness and partnership, choice and diversity -- which will under-gird the Knowledge Society, learning constantly to review and revise and renew what we think we know -- learning how to go on learning. In the age of the Internet, knowledge is universally shaped, universally accessible, and universally applied. And successful institutions of learning must be global institutions.... [I]n the Knowledge Society, productive research is most often partnership research ... sharing agendas and exchanging insights. New knowledge is a constantly unfolding gift of God -- but it is rarely something that is achieved in isolation."

"DAI" Implications of the term used by MHI in Portugal recently.(Page-30 Encounters in Muslim history student reader volume-1 of TALIMAT curriculum):"A teacher who promotes the message through direct teaching and through their moral conduct and model behavior."
