UNDP Human Development Report 2003
United Nations Development Programme
|
Since 1990, the United Nations Development Programme has commissioned the Human Development Report by an independent team of experts to explore major issues of global concern. The concept of Human Development looks beyond per capita income, human resource development, and basic needs as a measure of human progress and also assesses factors such as human freedom, dignity and human agency, that is, the role of people in development. The Human Development Report 2003 argues that development is ultimately "a process of enlarging people's choices", and not just raising national incomes.
The United Nations Development Programme's Human Development Report 2003 outlines a decade-long income drop in 54 countries, most of which are in sub-Saharan Africa. The Report also introduces the new Millenium Development Compact, which proposes new global and regional policies to kick-start growth and reduce poverty.
The United Nations Development Programme is the UN's global development network, advocating for change and connecting countries to knowledge, experience, and resources to help people build a better life.
