It is increasingly recognized that economic growth is valuable not as an end in itself but as an instrument for achieving development, with its inherent multidimensionality. Although this is to be applauded, it also highlights the difficulty of capturing development in simple measures. Conventional measures, used by economists, of a nation’s progress often ignores important aspects of a society such as institutions, political freedom, empowerment, inequality, security, sense of community, mental well-being, and environmental conditions. The 2012 HDCA conference theme ‘Revisiting Development: Do we Assess it Correctly’ is an invitation to scholars and practitioners to the larger, multi-dimensional notion of well-being and to engage with one another on the important issue of development measures. While this theme will receive special attention, we also welcome papers pertaining to any aspect of human development and the capability approach.

“Human development in its much broader sense has become an important part of envisioning the country's development plans and has positively penetrated into policy-making processes. We look forward to meet many people and delegations during the conference to discuss ways in which we can work together to further advance human development and capability approaches and make these a reality for people all over the world.”
Fauzi Bowo
Governor of Jakarta
"This conference is crucially important to portray and revisit development policies in a very transparent way. A mixed background of participants as well as source persons, coupled with various countries/institutions from where they come will give multi-faceted views and perspectives. Hence, this conference will indeed become a very important event that will give a very significant contribution to development.”
Armida Alisjahbana
President of IRSA
"Growth without quality is not enough. It has to be inclusive, sustainable and generate gainful employment. This conference is trying to shed new light on these issues. In fact, it goes even deeper so as to examine whether or not we have made the correct assessment on development measures and practices. Therefore, this conference is not only an important academic exercise, but also crucial for policy makers.”
Sudarno Sumarto
Special Adviser to TNP2K and Senior Research Fellow at the SMERU
“The launching of the Human Development concept through the first Human Development Report in 1990 has dramatically changed the development paradigm and the way progress is conceived and measured. Development practitioners, academicians and think tank groups are increasingly adopting the Human Development concept and approach in understanding, planning and managing development. More needs to be done to reach a much wider public and translate this thinking into action beyond the circle of the experts and specialists. This is why UNDP is pleased to support and endorse the organization of the 2012 Human Development and Capability Association Conference in Indonesia. Hopefully this will enrich the debate for development that puts people first.”
