Via Maskani Kenya @Maskani254 This is very pathetic. Yet we say the economy is growing... Kenya has been ranked lowly in a UN global survey on well being and quality of life beyond annual economic growth rates. The Human Development Index survey by the United Nations Development Programme ranked Kenya at 145th out of 187 nations. The index is computed from a formula developed by the late Pakistani economist Mahbub ul Haq and Indian economist Amartya Sen in 1990. However, in the HDI report for 2013, Kenya performed better than her neighbours Uganda (position 161, Tanzania (152) and Ethiopia (173). Rwanda and Burundi are ranked 167 and 178. The report titled The Rise of the South: Human Progress in a Diverse World was unveiled in Swahili version at the Pwani University in Kilifi, yesterday. It shows that between 1980 and 2012, Kenya’s HDI rose by 0.9 per cent annually from 0.424 to 0.519.
