It
is customary to think of the creation of an institution
in terms of exact definitions of objectives and goals,
of the organigrams, procedures, and operative systems.
For FUNDAEC, all these organizational arrangements would
have to evolve in action and did not need to be formulated
according to the day’s fashionable theories of
organizational development. As a first step, the group
of founders embarked on a long consultative process
that would allow them to reach a minimum degree of unity
of thought on a series of concepts and principles, which
would in turn orient their search for alternative paths
of development.
- Consider
the people as potential resources, not as problems
- Develop
human potential through a proper education that acknowledges
and promotes human nobility
- Work
for a development that is not conceived as “Modernization”
- Engage
in the search for pertinent knowledge
- Avoid
offering “pre-packaged” solutions
- Recognize
the need for endogenous structures in the region that
would connect it to corresponding external structures
