In order to reverse this situation Government, through the National Planning Commission is developing a collectively-defined new Vision that is expected to transform the country through inclusive wealth creation, sustainable and resilient growth. The new Vision is planned to be launched before December, 2020.'
The communiqué outlines key resolutions of the conference and will guide the way forward in the development of the National Transformation 2063, the envisioned successor to Vision 2020, to be launched before the end of this year.
