Mahama Tasks NDPC to Forge Unified National Development Plan

President John Dramani Mahama has charged the newly inaugurated National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) to harmonize the country’s development plans into a unified national agenda.

During the commission’s inauguration at the Jubilee House on May 19, 2024, the president emphasized the need for a long-term development framework that transcends partisan politics and electoral cycles.

Mahama urged the 37-member commission, chaired by Nii Moi Thompson, to consolidate efforts such as the Ghana Beyond Aid Charter, Ghana@100, and the Vision 2057 perspective framework into a coherent national development plan.

“Ghanaians increasingly demand a stable and predictable path for national development that transcends our electoral cycles and partisan politics,” he stated.

He stressed the importance of close collaboration with Parliament and the people’s representatives to ensure the 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 added.”
