  • Convergence of programs and initiatives (including public-private participation)
  • Reduce social and institutional barriers for citizens (g. reducing discrimination in jobs, increasing safety for women, ease travelling experiences e.g. women given free transport in Delhi DTC buses)
  • Enable competition in the market (e.g. greater competition in e-commerce is profitable for citizens)

  • Social Prosperity: i.e. Economic Growth should match social development
  • Sustainable Prosperity: i.e. economic progress should be environmentally sustainable
