About us

HDRNet is administered jointly by the Universitas Programme of the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) and the International Secretariat for Human Development (ISHD) at York University, Canada. They work in close collaboration to develop, acquire and publish the content of the library.

The content published on HDRNet is selected by an international network of researchers and practitioners involved in an initiative that brings together experiences of different UN organizations, local governments, research and policy institutions and specialized centers from many countries of the South and North to develop and share Knowledge, Innovations and Policies for human development and international cooperation (KIP Initiative)
