Statement by Ms. Flavia Pansieri, the UNDP Resident Representative in Yemen On the Launch of the Human Development Report 2005 and the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty
“Today is the International day for the Eradication of Poverty. It is therefore a very opportune moment for the launch of the UNDP Human Development Report 2005 (HDR), because poverty has a major impact in preventing progress in human development. Poverty affects people in its various forms, from income poverty, to poverty of opportunities, and robs them of the chance to lead a fruitful and fulfilling life.
