Human development is about human freedoms. It is about building human capabilities—not just for a few, not even for

most, but for everyone. In 1990 UNDP published the first Human Development Report (HDR). Since then, it has produced

more than 800 global, regional, national and subnational HDRs and organized hundreds of workshops, conferences and

other outreach initiatives to foster human development. These activities have extended the frontiers of analytical thinking

about human progress beyond economic growth, firmly placing people and human well-being at the centre of development

policies and strategies.
