Regional Consultation on Human Development in South Asia

Dr. Ganga Tilakaratna, Research Fellow, IPS, served as a panelist at the Regional Consultation on Human Development in South Asia, co-organized by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the South Asia Centre for Policy Studies (SACEPS) in Kathmandu, Nepal during 10-11 October 2012.

The Regional Consultation focused on the state of human development in the South Asian region, the policies required to achieve it, and the threats and barriers to sustaining it. It also provided the participants with an opportunity to learn more about the contents of the Human Development Report 2012 due for release in November, and to seek their views on how to shape the Human Development Report 2013, which will look at the post-2015 agenda.
