Human Development Report of Benin Poverty Benin’s first NHDR discusses the conceptual framework of poverty looking at both human and income poverty. One way poverty is measured is through perception surveys in which rural and urban focus-groups and individuals provided their views on poverty in Benin. Major differences in perceptions of poverty lie between the north and south; the latter attaches much more importance to income and employment, whereas the former contend that lack of food, shelter, health, income, and family are...

The Road Ahead The Swaziland HDR gives a fairly comprehensive overview of the status of human development in the country, including a profile of income poverty. The report is also noteworthy for proposing poverty reduction as a central priority of the country’s national long-term perspective plan.

General Human Development Report the report gives a detailed profile of the status of human development in the country, offers more explanation of the causes of poverty and more evaluation of national poverty policies and programmes, and deals in more depth with the issue of decentralized governance for poverty eradication.

Most noteworthy was the fact that the improvements had b... Zambia - 1997 |

Venezuelan Social and Economic Situation The report argues that poverty is more than income poverty, it is an absence of options and opportunities to live a tolerable life. This is an examination of the world-wide problem of poverty, from a Human Development perspective, starting off the recognition of the reduction in poverty over the century, especially during the last fifty years.

General Human Development Report the Nigeria Report is focused on poverty. The Report claims that the Structural Adjustment Programme, instituted in 1986, did little to improve the economic situation; in fact, it helped unleash forces of speculation rather than promote productive investment. In summary, the Nigerian Human Development Report presents a fairly comprehensive strategic statement on poverty eradication--spanning economic, social, political and even cultural issues. Nigeria - 1996 |

General Human Development Report The report focuses on the issue of why economic growth has not been translated into any substantial poverty reduction, and offers some explanations for this weak link. Where it is weak is in its continued reliance on income poverty and the sketchiness of its proposals for a human development strategy to tackle poverty. The Uganda Report’s chapter on “The Link Between Economic Growth and Human Development” is able to tellingly examine the paradox of pervasive poverty existing... Uganda - 1996 |
