Human Capital Programme Seeks Integration with National Economic Council
What happened
The National Human Capital Development Programme is seeking to integrate its work with the National Economic Council. The programme is shifting from a broad national direction to measurable outcomes based on state-level information. The National Coordinator noted that outcomes are sharply polarized between the North and South, requiring states to generate their own plans and priorities. The programme previously presented its findings to the World Bank in Spain, advocating for a state-by-state breakdown of the Bank's human capital measure.

Why it matters
The programme's goal is to link human capital metrics to national economic policy. This effort aims to guide economic planning at the federal level. The initiative suggests that economic productivity requires tailored, state-specific approaches rather than a single national strategy.
