The President, John Dramani Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has directed the newly inaugurated National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), in collaboration with Parliament, to consolidate all existing development frameworks into a single, inclusive national development plan.
Speaking at the inauguration of the 37-member Commission on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, he emphasised the need for a long-term development agenda that addresses the aspirations of Ghanaians across generations.
“Ghanaians increasingly demand a stable and predictable path for national development, one that transcends our electoral cycles and partisan politics. The Ghana Beyond Aid Charter, Ghana@100 long-term development framework, and the Vision 2057 perspective framework are all important components.
“I urge the Commission to consolidate all these various efforts into a coherent, inclusive, and forward-looking national development plan,” he stated.
President Mahama also highlighted the importance of stakeholder engagement in the planning process, calling for close collaboration with Parliament and broad public consultation to ensure the final plan reflects a shared national vision.
“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. It must also be subject to regular review and be responsive to evolving domestic and global challenges,” he added.
