Early this week, the Human Development Report Office - United Nations Development Programme and PNUD Maroc participated in a governmental workshop “Optimization of the HDI in Morocco: Measuring Progress, Valuing Effort,” organized by the National Observatory of Human Development (ONDH) in Rabat, Morocco. This workshop brought together key government stakeholders to build capacity in producing and using human development data, deepen understanding of Human Development Index (HDI) methodologies, and strengthen collaboration for accurate, timely reporting in Morocco. Covering the #HDR conceptual framework, insights from #HDR2025, and key human development indices including #HDI, the workshop aimed to promote data-driven, evidence-based policymaking for stronger #HumanDevelopment outcomes. 🔍 Explore where your country stands on the HDI: https://lnkd.in/ebaMWkSS 💡 Learn about HDRO’s composite indices: https://lnkd.in/dg5AAHi6 Photos by: #ONDH

“Consider relationships as the primary unit for public policy,” said Celine Charveriat in her opening remarks at a webinar organized by Pro(to)topia.    Building on this, HDRO Director Pedro Conceição emphasized the need for an #AspirationalApproach: “We should aspire to advance human development.”    Rethinking #HumanDevelopment today means accounting for planetary change and human-nature relationships—while mobilizing people’s #agency to act, and inspiring both the public and policymakers to drive impact at scale.    👉 How can we turn #aspirations into action for #people and #planet?  Check out the #HDR2026 theme and the latest updates: https://lnkd.in/e2enfNJq
