Human Development
Infrastructure only matters if people are healthy, educated and protected. This system covers the services and programmes that build human capital across a lifetime, from maternal care to adult learning.
Healthy, well-nourished and educated people are more productive, more resilient and better able to shape their communities. Investing in people also protects the value of physical infrastructure by creating the skills needed to run and maintain it.
