Description

People are the centre of this Plan. The idea is not new, but it is just as important today as it was in 1990, when the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) launched the first Human Development Report, with exactly this purpose: to put people at the centre of the development process. That first UNDP Report opened with a similar phrase - “people are the true wealth of a Nation” - which has become iconic and has decisively marked the way of thinking about Human Development and, consequently, public policies. This Economic Recovery Plan was born to recover the national economy, affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. But we believe that this is also an opportunity to design public policy measures that may help the necessary economic and social transformation of our country, to make it not only a country with a higher income, but also a more developed country, with greater human well-being.
