During one week of visit in Bielefeld ten people from nine partner countries in the world defined the following basic principles of development policy in partnership:

1st Confidence: The project partners must trust each other. To respect and trust each other, it is important to know each other.

2nd Definite motivation: It is imperative to know the exact motivation of the partners, "Why help is provided or claimed?"

3rd Protection of the interests: The project ideas should be developed by the people who want to implement them. You know best what is needed.

4th Internal Control: local employees should be responsable for the monitoring of  ongoing project.

5th Contact between donors and recipients: There must be regular contact between those who give and those who take.

6th Networking: Very useful and important for the South - NGO is to mutually exchange their work, their ideas and experiences. It would make sense to establish a network for the partners to exchange their experience of the Welthaus Bielefeld and other donors.

7th Political goodwill and Peace: A key requirement for any co-operation and Development.
