AfricaFocus Bulletin

(Reposted from sources cited below)
Among the many reports issued as world leaders gather in New York to discuss their commitment to fighting world poverty, the annual Human Development Report is among the most blunt in concluding that the "promise to the world's poor is being broken." In addition to documenting the failures and presenting its annual measurement of the Human Development Index (HDI) for 177 countries, this year's report identifies specific actions that could begin to reverse the trend.
This AfricaFocus Bulletin contains excerpts from the overview of the 2005 Human Development Report, focused on inequality, aid, and trade. The web version of this Bulletin also contains the listing of the HDI rank of African and other countries
