HDR-Net: Human Development Reports Network
Over the years, the global, regional, national and sub-national Human Development Reports have inspired a global movement to articulate human development priorities in every region and to mobilize action for policy-making. The HDR-Net, established in 1999, continues to strengthen this movement by serving as dynamic springboards for professional knowledge sharing and learning on human development issues. The network has evolved into a community of over 1000 human development professionals from within UNDP, government, academia, research and NGO communities.

Thematic Guidance Notes
A series intended to provide theoretical background and practical support
for development practitioners to address certain themes within a human
development conceptual framework. They were commissioned jointly by the
NHDR Unit and UNDP's Bureau for Development Policy (and in the case of
conflict prevention, with UNDP's Bureau of Crisis Prevention and Recovery).
The papers draw upon a thorough review of a number of NHDRs addressing the
theme, as well as cutting-edge literature in the field.

Human Development and the Millennium Development Goals
Although related and complementary, HDRs and MDGRs have different functions and
respond to different development needs. Yet, there are many ways to achieve the objectives of both Reports, while building on their
complementary nature in terms of: common conceptual underpinnings; preparation; data; communications and advocacy; and other ongoing and post-launch follow-up activities.

From Development to Human Development: Tool for Examining Themes from a Human Development Perspective
Adopting a human development perspective involves recognition of development as a process beyond economic concerns to one that respects the choices and freedom of human beings and seeks to enlarge their capabilities. This tool seeks to develop skills to look at development issues from a human development lens.

The Process for Regional Human Development Reports
HDRs enable UNDP to engage with wide external and internal audiences on issues of critical policy relevance. HDRs are not internal planning or programming tools. They help UNDP bring to the table for larger audiences issues that are of a long‐term nature, even when they cannot
be immediately included in programming. This document drafts an effective consultation process that supports these objectives.

UNDP Communications Toolkit
The toolkit doubles as a general reference for communicating the work of UNDP and a guideline document for producing communications materials. Included in this resource are instructions for publishing reports and related products. The toolkit also answers many questions and issues that arise from preparing documents such as Human Development Reports (e.g. ISBN numbers, UNDP branding requirements, printing, translation, etc).
