Amartya Sen Addresses the 2010 'Capacity is Development' Global Event

Professor Amartya Sen, Nobel Laureate and Professor of Economics and Philosophy at Harvard University addresses participants at the UNDP's 'Capacity is Development' global event via video message. The event was held on 17-19 March, 2010 in Marrakech, Morocco. In this message, he emphasizes that institutions play a huge role in enabling people to fulfill all that they are capable of achieving in their lives. He added this key role is not only of state institutions but also of a larger network including freedom of information, a democracy that enables people to participate and express their views and a well-functioning market.
