Equity and human development

(ex Les Notes de l'Iddri n° 10)

Equity appears to be emerging as a new key word in the development community. What does this concept encompass and how can it contribute to renewing the research, policies and practices related to development? This document proposes several channels for debate, taking its point of reference as the content of exchanges during the third Forum on Human Development, entitled ?Cultural Identity, Democracy and Global Equity?, which took place in Paris from 17 to 19 January 2005.
