I am pleased to present the Quarter one newsletter (January-March, 2022), of the Ministry of Planning Investment and Economic Development, produced by the Ministry’s media and communications department in cooperation with other departments .This newsletter provides updates from all Ministry departments on capacity development, stakeholder engagement (MDAs and Donors), strategic accomplishments and national development plan implementation efforts.

The ministry performed admirably in its critical role of coordinating activities and providing strategic policy advice for the government. It has done so by strengthening collaboration with stakeholders, providing strategic inputs in project development, and resolving bottlenecks in cross-cutting national projects. These quarterly newsletters are produced to provide information for the general public and increase transparency, while encouraging inter-governmental information and knowledge sharing.

We look forward to constructive engagements with you on social media platforms via the ministry’s official accounts on Twitter and Facebook. Your feedback and engagement will empower us to better deliver on our mandate and champion the successful implementation of the National Development Plan (NDP-9).
