The credit for this digression in development discourse goes to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) which through its various Human Development Reports (HDRs) has re-brought into focus the ‘human face’ of the development paradigm. The first Human Development Report (HDR) was published by the UNDP in May, 1990.
