Development as Freedom

Development as freedom is a way of looking at how countries and people, especially in poorer nations, can become better off. It means that people have the freedom to decide what is best for themselves and their families. This could include anything from having access to better education, the ability to earn an income, or having a say in how their community is run. Development as freedom means that individuals and communities are empowered to decide their own future and make positive changes in their life.
