Guiding Principles
The RIU Programme is guided by four principles:
1. Working with existing national and international processes, and development assistance arrangements to meet national demands. In Africa this includes aligning RIU to the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme process.
2. Working through existing programmes, partnerships and institutions. RIU will not establish separate initiatives.
3. Making maximum use of existing information and systems, and of national and regional capacity, in its work.
4. Learning and disseminating lessons on the impact of getting Research Into Use to benefit poor people.

Famous quotes related to guiding principles:
“For the child whose impulsiveness is indulged, who retains his primitive-discharge mechanisms, is not only an ill-behaved child but a child whose intellectual development is slowed down. No matter how well he is endowed intellectually, if direct action and immediate gratification are the guiding principles of his behavior, there will be less incentive to develop the higher mental processes, to reason, to employ the imagination creatively. . . .”
—Selma H. Fraiberg (20th century)
