The Human Development and Capability Association (HDCA) was launched in September 2004 at the Fourth Capability Conference in Pavia, Italy.[1] Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen was the founding President and remained President until 2006 when Martha Nussbaum became President. The HDCA was founded to promote research from many disciplines on key problems including poverty, justice, well-being, and economics.[2] The Association holds annual conferences; maintains a website and mailing list; supports training activities; and provides a forum in which collaborative research can emerge.[3] The HDCA also produces a peer-reviewed journal, the Journal of Human Development: A Multi-Disciplinary Journal for People-Centered Development. The HDCA is supported by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC).[4]
