Government has called on ministries to implement programmes in the 8th National Development Plan for the country to attain socio-economic transformation.
Chairperson of the National Development Coordinating Committee -NDCC- SITUMBEKO MUSOKOTWANE says his ministry will ensure programmes in the 8NDP are adequately and timely funded.
Dr. MUSOKOTWANE however says this will be done by optimizing the limited resources by leveraging and harnessing partnerships with the private sector.
He has however stressed the need to unlock the challenges that are hindering the implementation of the programmes and plans under the 8th NDP.
Dr. MUSOKOTWANE said this in a speech read on his behalf by NDCC Deputy Chairperson PATRICK KANGWA during the third NDCC meeting for this year.
