Background
The National Human Development Report is an important vehicle through which UNDP has contributed to policy analysis on current and future issues, a tool able to promote human development in the local context. The HDR Brazil and the Atlas of Human Development in Brazil have a strong impact on policy development, decision making and analysis process at different levels of government - central, state and municipal government - as well as the initiatives taken by the private sector. In recent years, human development has become an essential ingredient in the national planning process.

The National Human Development Report will consist of an independent research which will aim to provide an analysis of recent trends in human development in Brazil and its municipalities from topics such as inequality and the current challenges of city management.
