For decades,
Philippines has experienced
conflicts in many forms in the
names of religion and political
differences. Armed communist
insurgents and Islamic
secessionist groups continue to
pose a challenge to peace,
stability and the long-term
development of the
country.
The 5th Philippine
Human Development Report (5th
PHDR) sets out to explore the
various dimensions and major
sources of conflict in the
country; analyze the current
dynamics that may assist to
resolve or aggravate conditions;
and relate these to the concept
of human development and
|
|
human security in the context of the
country's development strategy.
The Report likewise presents
the latest statistics on
provincially disaggregated Human
Development Indicators, Human
Poverty Indicators,
Gender-related Development
Indicators,and Human Security
Indicators. Based on these
indicators, the Report will
attempt to identify the provinces
which are the "most peaceful and
stable" as well as those that are
"most vulnerable and at risk".
The theme of the 5th PHDR is Peace, Human Security
and Human Development in the
Philippines.
