As the sun set over the tranquil town of Akosombo, the atmosphere at the National Development Planning Commission’s (NDPC) retreat was one of renewed purpose and determination.
The government’s Strategic Planning Retreat had drawn to a close, and Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang was at the helm of the closing ceremony, delivering a message that resonated with optimism and clarity.
For several days, key government officials and policy actors had gathered at the retreat, engaging in deep reflection on Ghana’s development priorities. The agenda was ambitious: to align strategies across sectors, foster strong institutional collaboration, and chart a focused path for the nation’s socio-economic progress.
Addressing participants at the final session, Vice President Opoku-Agyemang emphasized the critical need for coordinated planning and evidence-based decision-making to drive sustainable, inclusive growth. She lauded the retreat as a valuable forum for candid dialogue—where policy direction, implementation hurdles, and ways to enhance collaboration were discussed openly and constructively.
This Strategic Planning Retreat, she noted, was part of a broader government commitment to ensure that national development frameworks and sectoral programmes work in harmony. It also reflected the administration’s focus on accountability and results-oriented governance.
As the event concluded, participants described the retreat as a strategic convergence—a unique opportunity to strengthen policy alignment and sharpen Ghana’s development agenda. With new ideas and shared resolve, they departed Akosombo ready to address both current and emerging challenges facing the nation.
