Two Poverty and Development (PAD) initiatives are cited in the new UNDP Regional Assessment  

Together with the Hong Kong Institute of Education (HKIEd) and the University of Hong Kong, the Human Rights and Extreme Poverty (HUREP) project at SUM recently organised 'Governing the Asian Giants'.

In connection with the launch of his new book, Poverty and Elusive Development (Universitetsforlaget 2010), Dan Banik was interviewed by 'Bistandsaktuelt' about buzzwords and poverty production.

Professor Arjun K. Sengupta, a core member of HUREP and a Visiting Professor at SUM, passed away recently in New Delhi. He was 73. Arjun was a pioneer in the field of human rights and development and we have fond memories of our long collaboration with him.

It the latest edition of Apollon, Dan Banik (SUM, UiO) and Kalle Moene (ESOP, UiO) discuss the increasing inequalities between the elites and the poor in India and China.
