Extensive national capacity has been developed to analyse data using human development tools , enabling planners to identify excluded regions and groups . UNDP contributed to the development of two government sustainable human development ( SHD ) -based programmes : ( a ) federal legislation requiring the use of HDI as a budgetary allocation tool for federal social programmes ; ( b ) the HDI-14 federal development programme that selected micro-regions in 14 states with the lowest HDIs as a target of intervention on integrated development efforts .
