The underlying philosophy of human development is to strengthen human capabilities, skill and performance, emphasis on human rights and concern for equity and justice. Without a suitable economic underpinning, a government 's equality commitments are unlikely to be realised. It involves an analysis of budgetary policies that assesses the real impact of income and expenditure on people equitably and makes sure that programmes and policies are able to address economic inequalities in the society. A realistic assessment of socioeconomic realities on the ground needs to be accompanied by analysing social processes, structures and relationships that create inequality and deprivation. - Reproduced.
