The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will launch 2011 Human
Development Report(HDR) on Thursday 3 November 2011 at 9.00 am at
Apeadu Conference Hall at the UN premises, off Kinondoni Road in Dar
es Salaam.
The Human Development Report is published every year with the support
of UNDP with a theme that is considered of critical importance for
human development. The theme for this year’s report is
“Sustainability and Equity”. The 2011 Human Development Report
focuses on the challenge of sustainable and equitable progress. A
joint lens shows how environmental degradation intensifies inequality
through adverse impacts on already disadvantaged people and how
inequalities in human development simplify environmental degradation.
The 2011 Report calls for new approaches to global development
financing and environmental controls, arguing that these measures are
both essential and feasible and that the challenges of sustainability
and equity must be addressed together. The Report will also feature
the 2011 Human Development Index—a composite measure of health,
education and income—and its complementary indices.
The launch will be officiated by Mr. Paniel Lyimo, Permanent
Secretary, Prime Minister’s Office. It will also feature a panel
discussion on the new indices and Tanzania’s progress. The panelists
are Dr. S. Likwelile, Acting Permanent Secretary, Ministry of
Finance, Dr. Joseph Semboja, Director, Institute of Sustainable
Development and Dr. Hoseana.B. Lunogelo, Executive Director, ESRF
