The Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP) will hold the National Sectoral Validation of the National Development Plan, known as the ARREST Agenda for Inclusive Development (AAID), in Monrovia.
According to a MFDP release dated November 4, 2024, the validation is scheduled for November 5th to 6th, at the Ellen Johnson Sirleaf Ministerial Complex in Congo Town. As the National Development Plan is set to be launched at the end of November, representatives from Ministries, Agencies, Commissions (MACs), development partners, academia, civil society organizations, youth groups, and the business community will come together over the next two days to validate the draft plan.
According to a statement from the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning, validations for the County Development Agendas (CDAs) will take place simultaneously from November 11 to 16 in county capitals. Participants will include Legislative Caucuses, County Leadership, County Councils, Ministries, Agencies, Development Partners, Persons with Disabilities, Civil Society Organizations, and groups representing Women and Youth.
These validations will help bring the crafting process of the National Development Plan to a near close after three months of consultations across all seventy-three districts, facilitated by two local think-tanks, Subah Belle and Associate (SBA) and the African Development Management Associates (ADMA).
