Human capital is the greatest asset of any given nation. What makes human aspect an unequaled asset is that humankind is merely the fount of resources and ingenuity. Yet, Central position is accorded not to the quantity, but rather to the quality of human resources. Since the grandeur of societies counts upon solidarity and organization, however, this quality asset is essentially determined by the way it is organized.

Of all major accomplishments the industrious Eritrean people scored in the national development drive, the determination to rolling up sleeves against the culture of dependency and to build internal capacity all on its own is rated at the forefront. The task undertaken thus far through such patriotic zeal now stands witness in every corner of Eritrea.

The ultimate goal of any given entity is but constant improvement. Development requires three essential assets: ingenuity, capital and the art of implementation. Emanating from knowledge and information, ingenuity is the resource for framing objectives and plans of action. Although capital per se comprises human element and land resources, it basically counts upon information. Effectiveness of the art of implementation, the third factor that deals with management, depends on the existence of accurate and reliable information. In view of this fact, information is the fundamental component of the aforementioned resources. The task of gathering, organizing and processing data is thus a prime condition for accomplishment.

Eritrea’s history and that of other nations stand witness that any society ensures security and development in this viciously competitive world only on its own capacity. In such circumstances, it remains an inescapable condition for Eritrea to acquire superior capacity and competency in the effort to independently march forward via the avenue of development, growth and peace.
