The National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), chaired by Dr. Nii Moi Thompson, will from February 18 to March 27, 2026, embark on nationwide consultations to deliberate on Ghana’s long-term development prospects amid rapid global economic shifts.
The exercise comes as Ghana records historic gains in macroeconomic stability under the IMF-supported programme, with inflation and interest rates falling sharply and the cedi appreciating against the US dollar. This contained in a statement issued by the Public Relations Unit of the Commission and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Accra. It said the rising gold prices and fiscal reforms have further strengthened the economy.
With the IMF programme set to end in 2026, it said government has prioritised transitioning from stability to diversified, resilient, and job-intensive growth. The Ghana Infrastructure Plan (GIP), launched in October 2025, will serve as a central pillar of the consultations.
The statement indicated that the regional engagements will involve all 16 coordinating councils and traditional authorities, followed by meetings with parliamentary leaders and political parties. It said discussions will cover a proposed policy and legislative almanac, results-based management, and implications of the evolving global economy.
Dr. Thompson will be accompanied by Dr. Audrey Smock Amoah, Director-General of the Commission, alongside senior policy analysts and regional representatives of the Commission.
