Based on careful research and analysis, it is prepared to take timely action on important and pressing tssues. 2. The Center does not duplicate the effective efforts of others. 3. The Center addresses difficult problems and recognizes the possibility of failure as an acceptable risk. 4. The Center is nonpartisan and acts a a neutral in dispute resolution activities. 5. The Center believes that people can improve their lives when provided with the necessary skills, knowledge, and access to resources. The Carter Center collaborates with other organizations, public or private, in . carrying out its mission. I II AROUT THE CARTER CENTER 71 Tho?
