Former UNDP administrator William Draper, in a foreword to the report, said that life for the majority is still shaped by continuing “struggles for access to the ordinary opportunities of life​—land, water, work, living space and basic social services.”
Aliyekuwa msimamizi wa UNDP, William Draper, katika utangulizi wa ripoti hiyo, alisema kwamba maisha ya walio wengi bado yanachochewa na kuendelea “kujitahidi kupata fursa za kawaida za maisha—ardhi, maji, kazi, nafasi ya kuishi na huduma za kimsingi za kijamii.”
