11
WEAKNESSES OF PAST PLANS

• Short term in horizon, developed around the life
  span of a government and not strategically
  focused for long term development
• Weak synergies between targets, indicators, and
  budget
• Lack of timely and adequate resources to support
  implementation
• Lack of an effective implementation monitoring
  framework
• Limited buy-in and ownership by the society
• Limited involvement by non-state actors resulting
  in non-state actors not owning the process

12
NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLANNING THE NEW APPROACH

• This mandate will use a three-pronged approach
• A Planning Model which is responsive to the
  structure of the economy
• Preparation of a long term National Development
  Plan for which the Model would be the
  quantitative tool
• Increased collaboration and consultation with
  stakeholders

13
INTEGRATION OF T21 MODEL AND NATIONAL PLAN

• The T21 model is designed to support
  comprehensive, integrated planning and is a
  valuable quantitative tool both for long-term
  planning and monitoring and evaluating results.
• Having decided on a vision and the key goals,
  this model can generate scenarios of future
  consequences of the different strategies that may
  be pursued to achieve our vision.
