Sustained commitment to PHE integration: PHE Ethiopia Consortium and its members are committed to the integration of PHE as a main focus area of intervention.
Respect for nature and human well-being: PHE Ethiopia Consortium strongly believes that human beings are the main focus of development interventions. However, every development intervention has to ensure the healthiness and sustainability of the environment.
Scale up through partnership and coalition building: Integration of PHE is based on partnerships and coalition-building with stakeholders, government bodies and non-state actors. PHE Ethiopia Consortium seeks to scale up interventions by fostering partnerships among government, member organizations and development partners.
Equity: PHE Ethiopia Consortium works with people from all different walks of life. The views and active participation of people is encouraged despite their age, ability, or any other differences.
Accountability and transparency: PHE Ethiopia Consortium strongly believes in taking full responsibility for its work and builds efficient systems and strategies that clearly show its work transparently to its members and others.

Community Empowerment: PHE Ethiopia Consortium’s member organizations and partners need to support community empowerment initiatives on PHE and need to work together by coordinating their activities with others in the community with indigenous knowledge so that the interest of the grassroots community can be fulfilled in an integrated and sustainable way. Community participation enables integration to come alive and promotes creativity, imagination, innovation, and sustainability. Therefore, we need to develop community empowerment model sites of members and partners.
