posted (December 5, 2016)
Each year, the UNDP publishes a Human Development Report, which highlights the changes countries see in many different areas such as agriculture, tourism, education and health. The annual reports are meant to emphasize growth and decline trends and guide government officials in policymaking. The 2016 report was launched today, and we spoke with UNDP's Latin American and Caribbean Regional Advisor, Kenroy Roach about the report's importance to the development of the country.

As Roach mentioned, Belize's economy has not done so well this last year, but there is hope. Roach says that the growth in the tourism industry is a good sign, and he also highlights other sectors that need to be focused on in order for Belize to rebound from recession.
