Скачать или смотреть The Human Capital Project in the Pacific and Papua New Guinea

Human capital, the knowledge, skills, and health that people accumulate over their lives; has been a key factor behind the sustained economic growth and poverty reduction rates of many countries in recent history.

Deficiencies in health and early education are impacting the ability for children in the Pacific Islands and Papua New Guinea to reach their full potential. Throughout the region the World Bank is working with countries to accelerate progress in human capital, while complementing government development plans. The World Bank is also supporting a training and skills program in Tonga; early age reading in Kiribati, Tonga and Tuvalu; and health and nutrition across the Pacific Islands region, including a childhood development program in the Marshall Islands focused on the earliest years of children’s lives.

In 2018, the World Bank launched the Human Capital Project, an ambitious global initiative to accelerate investments in people around the world – work that is especially important in the Pacific Islands and Papua New Guinea.
