1. **Equity**: Ensuring equal opportunities for all individuals, regardless of gender, race, income, etc.
2. **Sustainability**: Ensuring that development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
3. **Productivity**: Ensuring that people are fully engaged in income generation and other productive processes, which requires investing in their capabilities and providing an enabling environment.
4. **Empowerment/Security**: Ensuring that people are able to participate in the decisions that affect their lives and are free from chronic threats and sudden disruptions. Security (including economic, food, health, environmental, personal, community, and political security) is closely linked to empowerment and is often considered the fourth pillar or a critical component.
