About the product

There is no longer any doubt that unsustainable debt burdens, particularly in heavily indebted poor countries, have serious consequences for human development. These countries urgently need debt relief. This publication denotes how the United Nations Development Programme is playing a role in assisting heavily indebted poor countries. It focuses on the areas of the debt burden and sustainable human development; existing mechanisms for debt restructuring; and capacity-building for effective debt management.
