Human Development Report 2011

November 2011
Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All

The 2011 Report argues that the urgent global challenges of sustainability and equity must be addressed together – and identifies policies on the national and global level that could spur mutually reinforcing progress towards these interlinked goals. Bold action is needed on both fronts, the Report contends, if the recent human development progress for most of the world’s poor majority is to be sustained, for the benefit of future generations as well as for those living today.

Power, Voice and Rights

March 2010
Power, Voice and Rights : A Turning Point for Gender Equality in Asia and the Pacific focuses on the critical question of advancing gender equality, as seen through the prism of women’s unequal power, voice, and rights. Despite the region’s many economic gains, the report chronicles how in many instances women across the region continue to be held back and disadvantaged. This report makes it clear that achieving gender equality promotes human development not only for women, but for whole societies, and is central to achieving the Millennium Development Goals.

HDR 2009 Overcoming Barriers:Human Mobility and Development

November 2009

Migration, both within and beyond borders, has become an increasingly prominent theme in domestic and international debates, and is the topic of the 2009 Human Development Report (HDR09). The starting point is that the global distribution of capabilities is extraordinarily unequal, and that this is a major driver for movement of people. Migration can expand their choices —in terms of incomes, accessing services and participation, for example— but the opportunities open to people vary from those who are best endowed to those with limited skills and assets. These underlying inequalities, which can be compounded by policy distortions, is a theme of the report.

The report investigates migration in the context of demographic changes and trends in both growth and inequality. It also presents more detailed and nuanced individual, family and village experiences, and explores less visible movements typically pursued by disadvantaged groups such as short term and seasonal migration.

Tuvalu Trust Fund 20th Anniversary Profile (1987-2007)

June 2008

Executive Summary:

"The International Trust Fund Agreement (The Agreement) was signed on 16 June 1987 by Tuvalu, New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom as the original parties. Since its establishment other contributors have been Japan and South Korea.

After twenty years the Fund has clearly made a huge difference to the Government’s financial position and so to economic stability and national self confidence.
