Mahama tasks NDPC to deliver unified national development plan
20th May 2025
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.
