Development policy The view from the developed
world The main objective of Community
development policy must be to reduce and,
eventually, to eradicate poverty. This objective
entails support for sustainable economic and
social and environmental development, promotion
of the gradual integration of the developing
countries into the world economy and a
determination to combat inequality.

Policy - Statement by the Council and the
Commission
Poverty is defined not simply as the lack of
income and financial resources but also as
encompassing the notion of vulnerability and such
factors as no access to adequate food supplies,
education and health, natural resources and
drinking water, land, employment and credit
facilities, information and political
involvement, services and infrastructure.

• The UN Human Development Index (HDI) is a
  comparative measure of
• poverty, literacy, education, life expectancy,
  childbirth, and other factors for countries
  worldwide. It is a standard means of measuring
  well-being, especially child welfare. It is used
  by many people to distinguish whether the country
  is a developed, developing, or under developed
  country. The index was developed in 1990 by
  Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq, and has been
  used since 1993 by the United Nations Development
  Programme in its annual Human Development Report.
• The HDI measures the average achievements in a
  country in three basic dimensions of human
  development
• A long and healthy life, as measured by life
  expectancy at birth.
• Knowledge, as measured by the adult literacy rate
  (with two-thirds weight) and the combined
  primary, secondary, and tertiary gross enrolment
  ratio (with one-third weight).
• A decent standard of living, as measured by gross
  domestic product (GDP) per capita at purchasing
  power parity (PPP) in USD.
• Each year, UN member states are listed and ranked
  according to these measures.
