Results of this study show that except for lag of human capital and voice and accountability other variables like resource endowment, labor participation rate, foreign direct investment, rule of law, and regularity quality are statistically and negatively affected human capital development. Given these results, the researcher recommended as, a responsible bodies in sub-Saharan African countries should be attained on the expansion of FDI that has to be especially concentrated on the manufacturing sector; an institution for good governance first should develop than formulate good governance principles, and finally develop resource merit institution in the favor of human capital development.
