Partnership
According to the new strategy, emphasis will be placed on partnership. In the past, RDRS often functioned in isolation but it now realises that, to make programmes work efficiently, it needs partners. To ensure the people themselves feel a sense of ownership, therefore, RDRS will establish and encourage implementing partners within the villages. These will be community-based organisations such as the RDRS Federations. By concentrating upon strengthening the Federations, RDRS hopes to move from direct to indirect implementation of its priorities, plans and projects.

With this shift in social mobilisation priorities, RDRS will deal with new, and vital, issues of good governance, accountability and transparency of local government and awareness-raising of such issues.
