The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) says it is working closely with the presidency to finalise a coordinated programme of economic and social development policies that will guide the next phase of government planning and implementation.
Speaking on The Point of View on Channel One TV, NDPC Chairman Dr. Nii Moi Thompson said the Commission has already issued interim policy metrics to ministries to enable them to begin work ahead of the programme’s completion.
“We actually support the president in the preparation of the coordinated programme [of economic and social development policies]. So as I speak with you, we are wrapping it up,” Dr. Thompson said.
He explained that this proactive approach allows ministries to proceed with their planning and operations without waiting for the full coordinated programme to be finalised.
“But because of challenges of transition and time limitations, what we do is that we create policy metrics that goes out to the ministries for them to start work even before the coordinated programme is finished, and then once it is done, we will just fit them all together,” he added.
Dr. Thompson noted that consolidating the individual ministry plans and policy metrics into a single national framework will help ensure policy continuity, efficiency, and alignment with Ghana’s long-term development goals.
He stressed that the NDPC’s approach is designed to prevent administrative delays and guarantee that key development initiatives remain consistent with national economic and social priorities.
