2009 HD Awards call for nominations
HDRO/UNDP
The Human Development Report Office is pleased to announce the 2009 Human Development Awards Programme.
The biennial Awards programme seeks to publicly recognize the contributions of National and Sub-national Human Development Reports to development policy and practice in countries and regions, and to inform general HD discourse through innovation and good practices. It is also an occasion to honour an individual who has significantly advanced the cause of human development. In 2009, the Awards Ceremony will be held in Busan, Korea, on 26-29 October 2009, on the occasion of the OECD 3rd World Forum on Statistics, Knowledge and Policy. On the same occasion a one-day global meeting of Human Development Report teams and focal points will also be organized, followed by a proposed programme of seminars for NHDR teams.
The criteria for the awards are available in the 2009 Awards section of our site.
Nominations will be accepted online until 15 May 2009.
Awards for National and Sub-national Human Development Reports
The 2009 Awards categories for National Human Development Reports are as follows:
- Innovation in Human Development Measurement
- Participation and Inclusiveness in Developing the Report
- Policy Analysis
- Influencing the National Policy Debate
Since only two regions have launched Regional Reports in the proposed time-frame, nominations for Regional Reports are postponed until the next awards round. However, the Busan conference will provide an opportunity to showcase the work done in these two regions.
