We have launched a Human Capital Project country network to connect governments that are prioritizing human capital and to channel expertise where it is most needed.

In the Middle East and North Africa, we are focusing on areas such as early childhood and building the resilience of vulnerable people. We are scaling up human capital investments in Sub-Saharan Africa with a strong focus on women’s empowerment, leveraging technology, and accelerating innovation, among other priorities. As of October 2022, 86 countries at all income levels are working with the World Bank Group on strategic approaches to transform their human capital outcomes. The Human Capital Project is a global effort to accelerate more and better investments in people for greater equity and economic growth. How does the Human Capital Index capture all aspects of human capital? How does the Human Capital Index relate to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? How does the Human Capital Index differ from UNDP’s Human Development Index? What is the Utilization-Adjusted Human Capital Index? How has COVID-19 affected the Human Capital Index? What does the Human Capital Index show for girls and boys?
