　　Between the year 2003 and the year 2010，Kenya’s HDI rose by 0.51 percent annually from 0.522 to 0.541 today.In the same period，Uganda’s HDI rose by 1.59 percent annually from 0.392 to 0.514 today.

　　By looking at some of the most basic aspects of people’s lives and opportunities，the HDI provides a much more complete picture of a country’s development than other data，such as GDP.
