Human Development Report misleading–UN envoy

The data that were used in measuring Rwanda’s performance in various development indicators in the 2011 Human Development Report (HDR) are outdated, the UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative in Rwanda, said yesterday. “The figures were not updated, and did not come from our office (in Kigali),” Aurelien Agbenonci told The New Times, in reference to the UNDP’s 2011 Human Development Report, titled, Sustainability and Equity: A Better Future for All, which was launched globally in  Copenhagen, on November 2.
