The National Development Planning Commission
(NDPC) has organised Regional medium- term
development plan 2022-2025 for members of the
Municipals, Districts Planning Coordinators and
heads of decentralized departments in the Oti
Region.











Mr Bright Y. Atiase, Deputy Director and Research
for National Development Planning Commission
(NDPC), said social and political recommendations
were made for the revision of existing policies
and programmes where necessary, formulate
comprehensive national development planning
strategies and ensure that the strategies which
include consequence policies programmes were
effectively carried out.

Mr Atiase said the process of preparing the
medium-term national development planning
framework (MTNDPF) 2022-2025, started last year
and had involved the review of the performance of
implementation of the MTNDPF for 2018-2021.

He said a broad consultation were made especially
on technical experts from government Ministries,
Departments and Agencies (MDAs), civil society
organisation (CSOs) and academia, who were
organised into cross section planning groups and
the output from these engagements had been the
preparation of a zero draft MTNDPF, 2022-2025.

He said a number of recommendations from a series
of National Development Forum, which have been
organised by NDPC to solicit public opinion on
topical development issues have been incorporated
into the process.

Mr Atiase said the draft framework was aligned to
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), AU
Agenda and ECOWAS protocols that Ghana had
signed.

The main objective for these regional and
sub-regional consultations include, to create
awareness on the development goals, objectives and
priorities for the country over the next medium -
term (2022-2025).

Also to solicit ideas and inputs on development
priorities for the next medium-term and it was
expected that, by the end of the engagement
participants would be well informed about policy
direction of the country for the medium-term
2022-2025 and ownership created for its
implementation.

Mr Andrews Okumah Nawil, Oti Regional Coordinating
Director, said once the policy framework was
finalised, the ORCC would be expected to work
closely with all MDAs to finalise their respective
development plans and subsequently complete the
Regional Integrated plan for the area.

He said both the district development plans and
regional integrated plans would have to be
implemented comprehensively to ensure the
achievement of both regional and national
development goals and objectives.

The participants were taken through a series of
presentations for the two days workshop by the
facilitators from Accra
