In conducting its business, the NRWRP will apply the core values of the organization, so that over time these will define the culture of the organization for stakeholders.  These values are:

1. Community based – broadening the base of the production process and providing jobs and opportunities for entrepreneurship or sustainable livelihood.
2. Partnership driven – Maximizing beneficial partnerships in the development and operation of the programme, including partnering with communities and state organisations.
3. Sustainability – Applying practices to facilitate a sustainable environment.
4. Efficiency – Applying systems designed to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of operations.
5. Transparency – Encouraging clear and unambiguous practices and policies in all aspects of operations.
6. Impact/Outcomes driven – Significant reduction of denuded lands, ensuring the maintenance of bio-diversity, improvement in the condition of watershed areas and increased carbon sequestration. As a consequence, there would be reduced erosion of hillsides, reduced flooding of lowlands and reduced siltation of water courses.
