six VI. ECI Strategy & Focus Areas Decentralized Empowerment “Decentralized Empowerment for Scaling Up” is the short name given to a set of policy directives and decisions originally taken at the Third Meeting of the ECI Council held in 2007. The purpose of the strategy is to enable the massive expansion of the Earth Charter Initiative without having to grow the central administration, and to allow for a vast number of self-organizing, independent efforts to multiply and grow. In support of this new strategy, the following documents have been prepared and posted on the ECI website: • Action Guidelines for Decentralized Expansion of the Earth Charter Initiative • How You Can Participate Following these guidelines, any person, small group, organization, or community can make use of the Earth Charter and put it to work in appropriate ways commensurate with their capacities and opportunities. ECI’s central administration maintains the website and the various registration mechanisms, but attempts to reduce to a minimum the amount of administrative work associated with this strategy. Action Guidelines for Decentralized Expansion of the Earth Charter Initiative Introduction Earth Charter International (ECI) encourages everyone inspired by the Earth Charter to contribute to the goals of the Earth Charter Initiative.

The Action Guidelines presented below are a resource designed to help people conduct Earth Charter related activities in ways that are in harmony with the values and principles of the Earth Charter. The purpose of the Action Guidelines is also to ensure a certain measure of consistency in how decentralized actions on behalf of the Earth Charter are carried out.
