The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) has initiated a process to develop a consolidated, legally binding national development plan aimed at addressing long-standing gaps in policy coordination and implementation across the country.
The plan, which is set to be launched in September this year, aims to ensure policy continuity across political cycles, focusing on infrastructure, spatial development and institutional reforms to foster sustainable, equitable growth by aligning local, regional and national goals.
Key among them, she said, was the persistent failure to implement well-designed plans.
“We prepare plans, but implementation is always the challenge,” she said, and stressed that the new framework would prioritise execution and accountability.
