President John Dramani Mahama has directed the National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) and Parliament to consolidate all development plans into one clear and inclusive national plan.
Speaking at the inauguration of the 37-member commission chaired by Nii Moi Thompson on Tuesday, May 19, the president emphasized the need for a stable and predictable path for national development that transcends electoral cycles and partisan politics.
“Ghanaians increasingly demand a stable and predictable path for national development that transcends our electoral cycles and partisan politics,” President Mahama said.
“Ghana Beyond Aid Charter, Ghana@100 long-term development framework, and the Vision 2057 perspective framework, I urge the Commission to consolidate all these various efforts into a coherent, inclusive and forward-looking national development plan.”
The president stressed the importance of collaboration with Parliament and the people’s representatives to ensure that the final plan reflects a broad national consensus.
“This must be done in close collaboration and consultation with Parliament and the people’s representatives to ensure that the final plan reflects a broad national consensus. And it’s subject to regular review and responds to evolving domestic and global challenges,” he urged.
The consolidated plan aims to address the needs and aspirations of Ghanaians, providing a roadmap for the country’s development trajectory.
By merging existing frameworks, including the Ghana Beyond Aid Charter, Ghana@100, and Vision 2057, the government seeks to create a unified national plan that promotes stable national growth and development.
