Minister in the
presidency responsible for Planning, monitoring and evaluation of the Republic
of South Africa Maropene Ramagokpa briefed the media on Friday 10 February on
the progress towards finalisation of Medium-Term Development Plan (MTDP)
2024-2025.
The MTDP is a 5 year
plan strategic framework for development, inclusive growth and improved living
conditions It integrates the Government of National Unity (GNU) statement of
intent and the National Development Plan (NDP) into government’s priorities for
the next 5 years
On Thursday 6 February,
President Cyril Ramaphosa held the State of the nation address (SONA) and said
that the NHI will save many lives by providing a package of services.
The MTDP is a plan that
guides government’s priorities and meet them. The plan works hand in hand with
government. This Medium term development plan is the final plan before 2030.
The MTDP will create
alignment between plans and budgets and it links with NDP strategies which will
have a positive outcome. The plan is founded on credible evidence, drawn from
extensive research.
Three strategic
priorities were developed which are inclusivity, economic growth, end poverty,
and a better economic state.
Although the MTDP is
set there are a few issues that they believe they will address these issues.
State-owned enterprises
will collaborate with developmental mandates addressing issues related to
governance.
A new process was
implemented for results frameworks.
The cabinet will decide
whether the plan is acceptable or not and in the next meeting the outcome of
the 7th administration will be finalized.
The G20 will be hosted
by Africa for the first time. The G20 will create a number of opportunities for
SA.
The minister called
stakeholders, business enterprises and civil societies etc to work with
government and engage into the Medium term development plan.
