Statistical advisory panel
The Human Development Report, since 2000, has benefited greatly from the intellectual and technical advice and guidance provided by a Statistical Advisory Panel (SAP), consisting of leading national and international statisticians and development economists.
The Panel usually meets once a year to discuss issues related both to the guiding principles of the Report's statistical work and to specific technical issues about data sources, methods of analysis or data presentation. Occasionally a small sub-working group is formed to help tackle a particular issue and provide advice to the Report’s team. The SAP members usually serve on a two-year rotational term. The following is the list of the Statistical Advisory Panel members for the 2007/2008 Report.
