Occasional Papers


 
In preparation for the Human Development Report  every year, the HDRO commissions a number of experts to write papers on issues related to the theme of the Report.  The following is a compilation of selected Occasional Papers written since 1992.  Individually, each paper brings to light a key facet of human development in different parts of the world.  Together, they help establish a framework of tools, concept and action to address the issue of human development worldwide.
