It’s shocking that this panel has no Rohingya representation, especially considering the UNDP's warnings about famine. The majority of those recently displaced in Rakhine State are Rohingya,who faces arson, forced transfers, and displacement.This oversight is unacceptable given the urgent situation.

The attention to national initiatives should not start and end with the UK. In Brazil, already in the Cardoso Administration (1980s!), UNDP's Human Development Index was used to allocate federal government social investments. Enormously successful policy.
