The National Human Development Report 1999
The selection and implementation of a comprehensive human development strategy is complicated for countries in transition. These societies, in contrast to many developing countries, have had to address the problems of collapsing educational and healthcare systems at a time when public resources are limited. Changes from planned to market economies may take place faster than corresponding changes in the attitudes and values of individuals. This in turn makes maintaining the momentum of reforms more challenging, especially when over the short-term living conditions show little or even negative growth. In the NHDR 1999 the process of human development over the past eight years is explored in more detail taking into consideration the specific development requirements and experiences of the Republic of Uzbekistan.
