The National Economic and Development Authority said it gathered government planning officers on Sept. 23 in a culminating event of a series of consultative forums for the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028.
Launched this month with the theme “ISAPLANO: Bagong Philippine Development Plan para sa patuloy na pagsulong,” the PDP forum aims to solicit views and insights from various sectors in preparation for the formulation of the upcoming PDP 2023-2028.
“Discussions and consultations such as these are important avenues for promoting greater engagement, encouraging participation, and obtaining support as we seek to be as inclusive as possible in planning our journey toward our collective long-term vision amid all the economic challenges we face today. For a nation of over 110 million people, a unified and cohesive development plan enables all of us in the public sector to work collaboratively so that our efforts are concerted and geared towards common goals,” said NEDA Secretary Arsenio Balisacan.
