He was made a Knight of the Order of St Michael and St George for his contributions to international development.

In the period 1996–2000 Jolly was Chief Architect of the UNDP Human Development Reports . Currently, he co-directs the UN Intellectual History Project.

Dr Jolly received his degree in economics from the University of Cambridge in 1956, and he earned his doctorate subsequently from Yale University.
