Development is all about people. The basic objective of development is to create an enabling environment for people to enjoy a long, healthy and creative life. This may appear to be a simple truth. But it is often forgotten in the immediate concern with the accumulation of commodities and financial wealth.
Economic growth and accumulation of wealth are means to development, they are not the ends. People are the real wealth of a nation and the ultimate goal of development is thus to enhance human lives and human well-being.
