The Human Development Practice Group supports countries to protect and invest in their people, enabling them to reach their full potential and enjoy a good quality of life. Investments in human development – education, health, social protection and jobs, and gender equality – are intrinsically important for individual well-being. They are also instrumental for building human capital, which underpins productivity and economic growth.
