1 ) Project: Human Development Index – Public Assessment (İGE-K)
Statement of Work: We created a unique and complementary index (IGE-K) for Human Development monitoring in INGEV, based on public self-assessment.

Besides, the conceptual understanding human development has evolved in time. Recently, UNDP is pondering how the existing indices can be complemented to reflect broader understanding of human development. How could environmental sustainability, inter-generational equity, or human security, for example, be better addressed in terms of human development indices? IGE-K is designed considering the actual conceptual framework of UNDP’s Human Development approach and enlarged with evolving understanding of the concept. It is a strong indicator rise upon public opinion by evaluating human development criteria in evolved concept considering everyday life experiences of citizens. Project has been completed in 2017 and published online.
