• As the development cable model (right) shows,
  development is a multi-faceted process
• At its core is economic development, but to
  achieve real progress social, political,
  environmental and personal development is also
  needed.
• Recognising the complex nature of development is
  why development is often measured using an index,
  which combines a range of data
• Indices are considered more accurate than single
  data points such as GDP per capita.

Desert therefore experiencing periodic drought
Eritrea has focused on the development of its
gold mines as a source of revenue and economic

How have they done it?

• IMPROVED FOOD SECURITY due TO A NEW MICRO DAM,
  PART OF A 1.2 MILLION UNDP FOOD SECURITY PROJECT
  IN ERITREA

• Eritrean Ministry of Agriculture and UNDP
  invested US1.2 million in two micro dams
• Capacity of 1million cubic meters
• Has led to more land being farmed
• Greater use of irrigation
• Each dam feeds 1200 households and 6000 people
• Female headed house holds are provide with the
  same amount of arable land to ensure gender
  parity.
• Children have better nutrition rates and can go

3) How can we best achieve development beyond
2015?Rio 20 SDGs should be limited in number,
aspirational and easy to communicate
