Provides information on the human development performance of the country and its provinces. 

It focuses on the three indicators of human development:  health as measured by life expectancy; education as measured by the combined elementary and secondary enrolment rate and functional literacy rate; and income as measured by real capita income.

It also gives emphasis on the state of human development in terms of geographic concentration, the development disparities across provinces, and the relationship between HDI and income.

It is beneficial to planners and policy makers, in particular, and to the public, in general.  It can serve as a guide for planners in prioritizing their goals and in policy-setting as it provides information on the provinces’ strengths and weaknesses from the point of view of human development.
