Principles
In our work to end hunger, we recognise these ten principles as the foundation of The Hunger Project and are committed to ensuring our strategies are grounded in them.
1. Human dignity.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights, including the right to food, health, work, and education. Every person’s inherent nature is creative, resourceful, autonomous, responsible, and productive. We must treat the hungry not as beneficiaries of crushing dignity but as vital resources for ending hunger.
2. Gender equality.
A social change toward gender equality is essential to ending hunger. Women are primarily responsible for meeting basic needs but are systematically denied the resources, freedom of action, and voice in decision-making to fulfil this responsibility.
3. Empowerment.
Targeted, sustained action is needed to awaken people to their potential for self-reliance, build their confidence, and organise communities to take charge of their development amid social oppression.
4. Leverage.
Ending chronic hunger requires actions that will trigger large-scale systemic change. We must regularly step back, assess our impact in the evolving social, political, and economic environment, and initiate the most leveraged actions possible to address this challenge.
5. Interconnectedness.
Our actions affect and influence all others and the natural environment. Hunger and poverty are global issues, not the problems of any one country. We must solve this problem not as “donors and beneficiaries” but as global citizens, working as equal partners on a common front to end hunger.
6. Sustainability.
Solving hunger must be sustainable at the local, social, economic, and environmental levels.
7. Social transformation.
Population self-sufficiency is hampered by corruption, armed conflict, racism, and the subjugation of women. These conditions are rooted in the old, almost universal spirit of patriarchy. They must be transformed as part of a fundamental shift in societal structure.
8. A Holistic Approach
Hunger is inextricably linked to issues such as decent work, health, education, environmental sustainability, and social justice. Only by addressing them together can a lasting solution be achieved.
9. Decentralisation.
Individual and community ownership are essential to local development. Actions are most successful when they are decided close to the people, which requires national and local governments to work effectively in partnership with them.
10. Transformational Leadership.
Instead of top-down, authoritarian leadership, we need leadership that awakens people to their power, i.e., leadership that “works with the people” rather than supervision that “controls” the people.
In other words, it is possible to end world hunger, but it is not enough to do the same thing repeatedly. Hunger is primarily a human problem, and ending hunger requires principles consistent with our shared humanity.
