"The UNDP team, under a Pakistani economic guru, offers the World
Bankers some healthy competition."--The Economist
"Mahbub ul Haq is the closest thing to a visionary that the UN
system possesses. Cutting through the bureaucracy and conservatism
of the UN Development Program, he has launched the Human
Development Report, which annually criticizes both governments and
agencies like the World Bank for their neglect of the key elements
of human well-being--health, education and a decent living
wage."--New Internationalist
"One of the most appealing ideas is what Mahbub ul Haq, Special
Adviser to the UNDP, describes a s a 'second birth' for the United
Nations. Dr. Haq, the Human Development Report's formidable chief
architect, wants the UN to act as a 'peace corps' not a 'police
force', moving from its quasi-military role to become a
super-development agency. He marshals some compelling
reasons."--The London Times
"The most promising (proposal at the Social Sumit) was the '20/20'
plan conceived by Pakistan's Haq, in which donors would direct 20
percent of their foreign aid programs to meet basic human needs and
receiving countries would commit 20 percent of their budgets to the
same goal."--The Washington Post
