Dear Colleagues,
After a brief hiatus, countries in the global south are again producing national development plans. The Strategic Network on New National Planning (S3NP) has been analyzing patterns and processes that characterize these new NDPs, what the presenters have called ‘new national planning’ that is more focused on the Sustainable Development Goals.
Based on their analysis of current national development plans from 120 countries, and detailed case study work in 11 of those countries, the presenters have identified trends in the new NDP resurgence, factors in why NDPs fell out of and are returning to favor, and how the new NDPs might contribute more towards the achievement of the SDGs with a focus also on financing and the role of the MDBs. The presentation will review the new types of plans, their uses, content, duration, and potential financing sources as well as the drivers that inform the process of producing plans in different development and governance environments.
The discussion will conclude by considering the specific issues of state capacity and key determinants of commitment to plans, and draw lessons for countries in the global south and those working to support them.
