Afghanistan’s Human Development Reports.

Human development is about putting people at the center of development. It is about people realizing their potential, increasing their choices and enjoying the freedom to lead lives they value. Since 2004, Afghanistan has published two National Human Development Reports, the first called Security with a Human Face, and the second Bridging Modernity and Tradition in 2007.
