Is the ability for an individual or groups or a community finding solution to addressing a challenge or a need. Identifying that development challenge(s) and professing or finding real solution to the challenge(s) emanates from within. When there is this change of attitude(s) of people/communities to stop depending on outsiders to be solution bearers to their development challenges. When there is a change of attitude, they see development to be collaborative process of finding solution and the process must start from the people who need it.
This is evidence in Mark 8:5-6 and Matthew 15:34-35, when Jesus and the disciples were being followed by a great multitude of people and they were all hungry. In trying to find the solution, Jesus ask what do you have (Mark 8:5 and Matthew 15:34)? The disciple responded, a little boy has 7 loaves and 2 fishes. Their solution was found from there.
