El Informe de 2010 –La verdadera riqueza de las naciones: Caminos al desarrollo humano– fue lanzado el 4 de noviembre de 2010 por el Secretario-General de la ONU Ban Ki-moon, la Administradora del PNUD Helen Clark y el ganador del Premio Nobel Amartya Sen, quien ayudara a diseñar el IDH del primer Informe sobre Desarrollo Humano en 1990 junto al difundo economista Mahbub ul Haq, fundador de la serie. Los Informes sobre Desarrollo Humano y el IDH impugnaron las medidas puramente económicas de los avances nacionales y ayudaron a sentar las bases conceptuales de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio de la ONU, haciendo un llamamiento a seguir permanentemente los avances mundiales en salud, educación y niveles de vida en general.

Building Better: Gender & Human Development in Asia
Washington DC, United States
On its 20th anniversary, UNDP’s annual Human Development Report (HDR) finds that Asia has progressed fastest in terms of human well-being since 1970, with China, Indonesia, South Korea, Laos, and Nepal surging ahead. But its new Gender Inequality Index shows South Asia in particular trailing behind on the critical measure of gender equality. An Asia-specific HDR also highlights women’s economic, legal, and political rights and how they impact human development in the region. HDR lead author Jeni Klugman, UN Assistant Secretary-General and UNDP Director for Asia & the Pacific Ajay Chhibber, and World Bank Executive Director for Germany Ingrid-Gabriela Hoven will discuss how Asia is both leading and lagging in the work of building better lives for its people.

Measure for Measure: How well do we measure development?
Paris, France
Economic growth is not necessarily development. GDP can grow in a country without noticeable improvement of poverty, health or education. Yet, development keeps being measured mostly by GDP growth and public attention keeps focusing on that sole statistic. But then, how should we measure development? Should we define a multiplicity of indicators? Should we try to integrate all the dimensions of development into an aggregate indicator? The various aspects of development are nevertheless difficult to compare. These are some of the questions that were addressed by top international experts and a large international audience in the joint AFD/EUDN conference. Discussions focused on approaches that can be taken as alternatives to, or complementary of traditional statistical measures to quantify economic and social progress and to design and monitor better development strategies.

Global South South Development Expo 2010
Geneva, Switzerland
The GSSD Expo is not designed for the discussion of problems or the presentation of generalized scenarios and prescriptions for solving them. Rather, it is designed solely to enable developing countries and their development partners, including donor agencies, organizations of the United Nations system, and private-sector and civil society organizations to systematically and regularly showcase their evidence-based SSDSs. These solutions are deeply rooted in and developed under historical, political, economic, social and geographical conditions specific to the SSDS-originating countries.

The Real Wealth of Nations: Pathways to Human Development
Washington DC, United States
Most developing countries have made dramatic progress in health, education, and basic living standards in recent decades, with many of the poorest countries posting the greatest gains, according to the 2010 Human Development Report. But patterns vary greatly, with some countries losing ground since 1970. Introducing three new indices, the 20th anniversary edition of the Report documents wide inequalities within and among countries, deep disparities between women and men, and extreme multidimensional poverty in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Join us for a discussion of the report with an expert panel including its lead author.

Human Development – influence on the theory and practice of international development
New Orleans, United States
Human development is one of several paradigms that define what ‘development’ is, should be, and what policy options work best. Built on Amartya Sen’s work on capabilities, and launched as a paradigm in the 1990 Human Development Report led by Mahbub ul Haq, it has been an important reference in international development policy debates for the last 2 decades. What has been its influence?
