Presentation

Human Development is a paradigm promoted by the UNDP since the 1990s. It is an alternative perspective to approach development, focusing on the expansion of people’s freedoms to live long, healthy and creative lives. From a Human Development perspective people are both the agents and the drivers of development. Considering the important advances in human development, there are still major existing challenges to improve the social inclusion of diverse demographic groups.

Governments as well as multilateral organizations use public policies as tools to improve human development and social inclusion. All public policies can impact a person’s life, by either increasing or limiting their development opportunities.
