Annual Work Plan 2021

Introduction

The Ministry of Planning and National Development (MoPND) officially presents its work plan for the year 2021. This plan is aimed to be used throughout the year as an essential tool to help not only to guide executing the Ministry’s objectives, but also, to monitor progress achieved and to quickly address any unforeseen bottleneck that may arise.

This is a product of a joint effort by all departmental staff and ministry technical personnel that was presented and further refined in the annual summit. With overall direction of the ministry management, each department has chosen five priorities as their focus on the year. Each priority is further subdivided and immediate outcomes defined. All priorities fully align with the National Development Plan (NDP 2021).

The work plan is structured as follows: it starts with the Somaliland National Vision, 2030, National Development Plan II goals, the structure of the ministry, followed by a matrix of department plans and an implementation calendar for each of the Planning, Administration, Statistics, Coordination, Human Resources, Monitoring and Evaluation Departments, in that order. The ministry national budget for the year 2021 is also attached as an annex.
