Arab Human Development Report: Building the Knowledge Society in the Arab Countries UNDP Publication Knowledge is recognized as a cornerstone of human development, a means of expanding people's capabilities and choices and a tool for overcoming human poverty. The first Arab Human Development Report (AHDR 2002) identified a serious shortfall in knowledge acquisition, absorption and use as one of three cardinal deficits undermining human development in Arab countries. AHDR 2003, the second report in this series, starts where the first left off and takes an in-depth look at how Arab societies can overcome their knowledge deficits by liberating and leveraging their intellectual, cultural and knowledge assets through good governance and social and economic innovation.
