The 2016 Human Development Report (HDR) titled “Human Development for Everyone” focuses on how human development can be ensured for everyone—now and in future. It starts with an account of the hopes and challenges of today’s world, envisioning where humanity wants to go.
The Report explores who has been left behind in human development progress—and why. Human development progress over the past 25 years has been impressive on many fronts. But the gains have not been universal. There are imbalances across countries; socioeconomic, ethnic and racial groups; urban and rural areas; and women and men. Millions of people are unable to reach their full potential in life because they suffer deprivations in multiple dimensions of human development.
The Report will be launched together with a presentation on Sierra Leone’s country note, on Thursday 30, March 2017 at the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development Conference Room One, Treasury Building, George Street in Freetown, UN Resident Coordinator and Ministry of Finance and Economic Development will be three.
