Human Development

A Japanese professor once likened the process of human development to "the act of opening an envelope; and inside, you find human potential."

The United Nations Development Program has said that "economic growth is a means and not an end of development. There is no automatic link between high GNP growth and progress in human development." On the other hand, "human development is about much more than the rise or fall of national incomes. It is about creating an environment in which people can develop their full potential and lead productive, creative lives in accord with their needs and interests."

APS is commited to doing all it can to open envelopes of human potential throughout Nicaragua.
