The government’s five-year Strategic Action Plan was unveiled on Wednesday night with development priorities, targets and a timetable for delivery of manifesto pledges.
The 439-page document will serve as a central policy framework to guide government agencies and offer yardsticks for the public to track progress, measure success and hold the government accountable, President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih said at the launching ceremony.
“It includes what to do, how to secure financing and dates for completion. So check off [the lists] and go forward,” he said.
Solih urged ministers, political appointees and government employees to implement the SAP despite differences of opinion over specific policies, each of which he stressed was determined after consultations with the public and stakeholders.
