276. In as far as the APR Panel´s recommendation on the need to increase national awareness on the importance of social progress in the processes for the reduction of poverty society is concerned, the Government and organizations of civil, have been involved in social protection initiatives. In this context, a number of campaigns and advocacy activities for the basic social protection took place in 2010 and 2012, of which we single out the holding of social protection week in 2012 and also the dissemination of the Law on Social Protection (Law N°4/2007) and Law on Basic Social Security. Meanwhile, the country embarked on the implementation mendacity an activity foreseen by the National Council on Elderly Persons, organization of campaigns to combat mendacity in the city of Maputo and also it implemented and ensures the operationalization of the National Council on Persons with Disability. The implementation of these initiatives aim at raising public awareness on the need for social protection. 277. To sum up the objective 3, according to the 2013 Human Development Report, a publication of UNDP, the country is ranked at 185 among 187 countries and territories analysed in term of Human Development Index (HDI). The government considered this ranking strange and argued that in general the index which constitutes the aggregate of the computing of IDH in general present a growth. Therefore, the government approached the UNDP to understand as to how the computing was done. As mentioned before, the country, registers a GDP growth on average 7% per annum. The GDP per capita shows that it has increased from 340 USD in 2007 to 470 USD in 2011, which reflects a positive variation with reflex to the living condition of the population in terms of access to goods and services such as water, health and sanitation and education. The average growth in its HDI was 2.3pp per annum since 2000 meaning that it is above the average of sub Sahara countries and those considered as of low human development. The divergences that these data show need to be analysed by the Government not only for the purpose of making conclusions but also, to help defining adequately the country’s policies. 278. However, poverty continues to be one of the concerns for the country in such a way that the Government defined as its target to concentrate its efforts on it as to reverse the high rate that persists in the country. Objective 3 To Strengthen policies, delivery mechanisms and outcomes in key social development areas, including providing education and combating HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases 279. The APR Panel recommended the country to: (i) increase the rate of access to secondary and vocational education as to reverse the present pyramids; (ii) to create guidelines on standards and quality monitoring for the sectors of health and education; (iii) to create an integrated multi sectoral framework to combat HIV/AIDS, Tuberculoses (TB) and Malaria; and (iv) involve actively traditional and religious leaders and other opinion making stakeholders in communities in the struggle against HIV/AIDS; and (v) involve actively youth and women in combating HIV/AIDS. 280. With regards to the recommendation of the APR Panel to increase the rate of access to secondary and vocational education as to reverse the present pyramids, the present reforms in there is a low capacity for them to become self sustainable and not even to be able to respond to competitiveness in a globalised economy. 91
