v o lu n ta rily poor. (C le rg y,
V IS T A volunteers, students,

be voluntarily poor). For p roj­

erty by attacking the basic
causes o f poverty and by ef­
fecting institutional change.
C H D defines institutio na l
change as:
a. M odification o f existing
laws and/or policies;
b. Establishment o f alterna­
ti ves structures and/or re­
distribution o f decision­
making powers;
c. To a lesser extent:
Provision o f services
w h ich re s u lt in the
achievement o f (a) and/
or (b); or leads the recipi­
ent com m unity to focus
on (a) and/or (b).
2. Projects w hich-directly benefit
a relatively large number o f
people rather than a few in d i­
viduals.
3. Projects which generate coop­
eration among and w ithin d i­
verse groups in the interest o f a
more integrated and m utually
understanding society.
4. Projects which document that
as a result o f C H D funding
there are possibilities o f gener­
ating funds lrom other sources
