development and that human resources development is an essential means of
achieving sustainable development goals,
Recognizing that human resources development should contribute to total
human development, which enlarges the choices available to people in
developing their lives and fulfilling their aspirations, and that there is a
need to integrate human resources development into comprehensive strategies
for human development that mainstreams a gender perspective, taking into
account the needs of all people, in particular the needs of women,

international economic environment that will enhance human development in
developing countries and promote economic growth and development,
Recognizing that, while economic reforms and structural adjustment
programmes are intended to promote economic growth and development, elements
of such programmes may have an adverse impact on human resources development,
and also that there is a need to take action, in the formulation and
implementation of these programmes, to mitigate any negative effects,
Stressing the need for adequate resources to enhance the capacity of
Governments of developing countries to promote human resources development in
pursuit of their national programmes, plans and strategies for development,
