Overview

Universal Human Development (UHUDEN), is a Non-Government organization established under section 12 (1) of the NGO Act No. 24 of 2002, of the United Republic of Tanzania. Human development focus on improving the lives people lead rather than assuming that the economic growth will lead, automatically, to greater opportunities for all.

Human development is about giving people more freedom and opportunities to live lives they value. in effect this means developing people's abilities and giving them a chance to use theme. For example, educating a girl would build her skills, but it is of little use if she is denied access to jobs, or does not have the skills for the local labour market.
