OVERVIEW
In this presentation we will learn about Human Development Reports
Global National Sub-national
Village HD cards PAHELI- Peoples Audit of Health Education and Livelihoods
Survey Human development radars
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORTS
HDRs at global, regional, national and sub-national level powerful advocacy tools Themes of Global HDRs trigger discussion on
important issues Sustainable development (2011) Mobility and human development (2009) Fighting climate change (2007/08)
Human development reports also Estimate human development indices and rank
countries accordingly Disseminate a wide variety of human development
indicators UNDP HDRO Website
REGIONAL AND NATIONAL HDRs
First National HDR prepared by Bangladesh in 1992
Since then National HDRs have gained popularity and today more than 700 NHDRs have been released worldwide
Regional HDRs – nested between national and global HDRs
Discuss region specific development challenges and solutions
More than 30 regional HDRs have been released so far
PRINCIPLES OF HDR PREPERATION
6 key principles have been set out for HDR preparation to ensure quality by the Human Development Report Office, UNDP
Not a blueprint- one size fits all approach- but basic principles to ensure quality and impact
1. National Ownership2. Participatory and Inclusive Preparation3. Independence of Analysis4. Quality of Analysis5. Flexibility and Creativity in Presentation6. Sustained Follow-Up
NATIONAL AND STATE HDRs IN INDIA
National HDRs released in India- 2
2001- National Human Development Report
2011- India Human Development Report: Towards Social Inclusion
Sub-National or State HDRs- 26 released in 21 States
India has the distinction of conducting the largest sub national HDR exercise in the world
Chhattisgarh SHDR and West Bengal SHDR won global awards for participatory process and quality of analysis
STATE HDRs
Principles of SHDR preparation Government Ownership Participatory Process Independence of Analysis
Challenges in preparation of SHDRs Government’s fear of public opinion Adversarial nature of dialogue between NGOs
and Government Change in political regimes Strong opinions of diverse groups Defensive government departments
DISTRICT HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORTS
DHDR - enables disaggregated HD analysis at the district level
Prepared in partnership with local government and NGOs
Used as tools for district planning –suggestion to use DHDRs as district gazeteers
> 80 DHDRs under preparation – 44 released DHDR preparation a challenge due to
Non availability of data on HD indicators at district level
Lack of technical capacity at district level
DHDRs RELEASED
VILLAGE HD CARDS
People-centred data collection to supplement official data Human Development Report Card Chhattisgarh HDR – Village reports for 17,000 villages Data collected by people for use by people Chhattisgarh clip
Data collection not an impersonal exerciseStatistics, their collection and use affect
people’s lives Imperative to involve people as ‘agents’
rather than as ‘respondents’ or ‘beneficiaries’
SOME HD MONITORING TOOLS
Human development radars Introduced first in 2001 India HDR Used in Bankura district HDR 2007 -
Pictorial tool for depicting HD indicators – vulnerability (migration and fluctuations in foodgrain production), sanitation, malnutrition, institutional delivery, female literacy wage level, gross output per capita
HUMAN DEVELOPMENT RADARS
Used instead of composite indices – most useful at
taluka level where data constraints severe
Can be used to display data at disaggregate level-
rural urban gaps can be seen pictographically
Data for different time points can be displayed in
the same diagram
No weights required for indicators
Larger number of indicators can be displayed
simultaneously
RAPID ASSESSMENT SURVEYS
Severe constrains on data availability at district level- gives greater importance to surveys like PAHELI
Peoples Audit of Health Education and Livelihoods Survey - rapid assessment of the prevailing status of human development in a district
Four dimensions: livelihood, water and sanitation, mother and child health and education and literacy
Main features of the survey Simple to use- uses pictorial tools Engages local stakeholders especially the youth Is an effective countercheck for official data at local
level
PAHELI SURVEY- STORY SO FAR
PAHELI surveys have been supported by UNDP and conducted by ASER centre
Two rounds of surveys have been conducted so far 2006- in 11 most backward districts in India
Ahmednagar, Maharashtra Bidar, KaranatakaChamba, HP Dakshini Dinajpur, MPDhemaji, Assam Gajapati, Orissa
Lower Subansiri, Aru Pra Mandla, MPMewat, Haryana Mon, NagalandJalore, Rajasthan
2011- in 8 most backward districtsUdaipur, Rajasthan Bhilwara, RajasthanNalanda, Bihar Korba, ChhattisgarhHardoi, UP Gumla, JharkhandSundargarh , Orissa Rajgarh, MP
ADVANTAGES OF PAHELI
Pictorial survey format engages interest of participants
Format makes it easy to share final findings and raise awareness
Indicators chosen linked to objectives of important national development schemes – results instrumental in evaluating, improving and increasing uptake of programme
Survey designed after intensive study of national and international demographic, economic and human development surveys and hence reliable
STEPS IN DISTRICT PLANNING
Involve panchayats at the district, intermediate and village levels in rural areas
Municipalities, line departments and parastatals in urban areas in outlining their functions and responsibilities and prepare a plan for execution 1. First step is to gather relevant data
2. Next is to analyze data to set priorities
3. Match the set priorities to available budgets
4. Define processes of implementation
5. Set and monitor targets
GROUP WORKPLANNING FOR HD AT DISTRICT
LEVEL
Groups according to States time allotted – 45 minutes
Objective: to get an idea of HD planning at District level
Tasks: Outline steps in HD planning incorporating the principles of the HD approach
Discuss within the group what the priorities will be imagining that you are the residents of the district – you can choose to incorporate role play – one can be a collector – another CEO of Zilla Parishad
Create a vision and plan for the district Outline steps to implement and monitor the plan Your plans will be peer reviewed in ‘market place’
