		Due to be released at the end of this year, the Arab Regional Human Development Report (ARHDR) will present an alternative view of socio-economic progress with the aim of shifting Arab policy makers' attention from focusing on income growth to promoting human well-being as the ultimate goal of development, a UNDP statement said on Wednesday.
		Since it was first published in 1990, the global Human Development Report broke with traditional thinking by arguing that a country's prosperity cannot simply be measured by GDP or the size of the economy, because often economic growth does not reach the poor segments of the population.
		The concept of human development was introduced to place emphasis on individual capabilities and opportunities as the key to people-centred development.

		The sustainable human development paradigm is a holistic strategy for development that embraces all human rights-economic, social, cultural, civil and political.
		Development is unsustainable where the rule of law and equity do not exist; where ethnic, religious or sexual discrimination are rampant; where there are restrictions on free speech, free association and the media; or where large numbers of people live in abject and degrading poverty.
		Development can play a preventive role by addressing the social, economic, cultural and political causes of armed conflicts, which are often manifested by human rights denials and violations.

		The first Arab Human Development Report, issued in 2002, described obstacles to development in the Middle East, including deficits of freedom and women's empowerment.
