As the development cable model
(right) shows, development is a multifaceted process
At its core is economic development,
but to achieve real progress social,
political, environmental and personal
development is also needed.
Recognising the complex nature of
development is why development is
often measured using an index, which
combines a range of data
Indices are considered more accurate
than single data points such as GDP
per capita.
Physical Quality of Life Index (PQLI)
Life expectancy + Literacy rate + Infant
Mortality rate
The Human Development Index (HDI)
Life expectancy at birth + Literacy rate +
Enrolment rate + GDP per capita PPP

Add place marks to show:
• 1) Examples where your MDG has
improved: Education, health and poverty
• 2) Examples where your MDG has got
worse: Education, health, poverty
• 3) Information about 3 indicators in China,
India, Brazil, USA, Eritrea
Example of work from the UN
• Eritrea, East Africa
Located in the southern region
of the Sahel Desert therefore

economic growth
HDI: 0.381, ranked 182 of 187 countries
2/3rds of the country suffered from hunger in 2012
How have they done it?
• IMPROVED FOOD SECURITY DUE TO A NEW MICRO DAM, PART OF
A $1.2 MILLION UNDP FOOD SECURITY PROJECT IN ERITREA
• Eritrean Ministry of Agriculture and UNDP invested
US$1.2 million in two micro dams
• Capacity of 1million cubic meters
• Has led to more land being farmed
• Greater use of irrigation
• Each dam feeds 1200 households and 6000 people
• Female headed house holds are provide with the
same amount of arable land to ensure gender
parity.
• Children have better nutrition rates and can go to
school more consistently.
