NDPC to hold nationwide consultations on sustainable Development
13th February 2026
The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), chaired by Dr Nii Moi Thompson, will hold nationwide consultations from February 18 to March 27, 2026, to discuss strategies for sustainable development in Ghana amid global economic changes.
The consultations come at a time when Ghana’s economy is enjoying record improvements in macroeconomic indicators, including significant declines in inflation and interest rates, as well as a historic appreciation of the cedi against the US dollar under an IMF-supported programme launched in 2023.
Economic stability has been strengthened by rising commodity prices, particularly gold, and fiscal reforms by the Ministry of Finance that have cut wasteful government spending. With the IMF programme concluding in 2026, the government is prioritising strategies to transition from stability to diversified, resilient, and employment-driven growth.
The Ghana Infrastructure Plan (GIP), launched by the President in October 2025, will play a central role in the consultations. The regional meetings will engage all 16 regional coordinating councils and the various houses of chiefs, reflecting the Commission’s focus on local economic development as the foundation of national progress.
Following the regional consultations, the NDPC will meet with Parliament leaders, parliamentary caucuses, and political parties. Discussions with political parties will cover topics such as a policy and legislative almanac to guide manifesto preparation, results-based management for party leaders, and insights into the post-war global economy and its implications for Ghana.
Dr Thompson will be accompanied by Dr Audrey Smock Amoah, Director-General of the Commission, and senior policy analysts, with each regional stop supported by the Commission’s regional representative.
