We have indicated in the past that education would play a key role in building sufficiency and that education would include technical and philosophical education.
In addition to education, a sufficiency approach to development would provide support for:
- awareness raising about the importance of sufficiency to human well-being and the importance of capacity development to sufficiency
- assessment tools to help citizens explore their talents and abilities
- education and training infrastructure and services
- technology transfer
- bursaries and loans for education
- financing for small business development
- business coaching and mentoring
- grants and/or tax breaks for research & innovation
- a guarenteed annual income for all citizens so that they can pursue their talents and abilities without risk of losing access to basic necessities
- planning services at the community level to create community level sufficiency plans
What do you think? Does this make sense? Is it too much or not enough? Is it a different approach or just more of the same? What would you do differently?
