دور التنمية البشرية المستدامة في العراق : المضمون و مبادئ تنفيذ الأهداف

الملخص EN

The human development concept implies a various number of quantitative and qualitative indicators that relate to human resources’ life, where the economic development became a compound term.

It includes indices linked with the standard of living, education and health situation for human being as a major instrument for development and targeted goal by decision makers.

However, the sustainable human development is a broader concept that includes the contemporary indicators of the development.

Thus, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) –in its annual reports- has focused on making clarity and measures the developmental implications.

Furthermore, the recent economic progress in the advanced countries has led to emerging environmental consequences represented by cases of depletion of the three elements of the environment; land, water and air.

This environmental damage is a result of industrial waste and production activities.

However, Iraq –as known- is a rich country in agricultural, mineral and human resources.

Therefore, the policy makers in Iraq must take into consideration all these aspects.

This could be through setting economic plans and programs to engage the available resources in order to achieve a balance between employing the economic resources and ensuring positive economic growth.

Notably, over the previous years and right now, the Iraqi economy did not achieve a resource balance, which negatively led to backward the indicators of human development and developmental goals for the country as well.
