President John Dramani Mahama has charged the newly inaugurated National Development Planning Commission (NDPC) to work closely with Parliament to consolidate Ghana’s various development frameworks into a single, inclusive, and forward-looking national plan.

Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of the 37-member Commission on Tuesday, May 19, President Mahama said the growing public demands for a stable, long-term development agenda that goes beyond political cycles and partisan interests.

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

The Commission,  under the leadership of Dr. Nii Moi Thompson, is expected to integrate existing frameworks including the Ghana Beyond Aid Charter, the Ghana@100 long-term development framework, and the Vision 2057 perspective plan into a single, coherent roadmap for national transformation.
“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 stated.
