It is with great pleasure that I provide the foreword to the National Development Agency (NDA)’s annual report for the 2015-2016 financial year. This report brings to a close another successful year of hard work undertaken by the NDA and its staff and outlines the considerable progress it has made for the year under review as guided by the Strategic Plan.

I am also pleased to have oversight on the NDA, particularly during this crucial period as it seeks to reposition itself in order to better implement the strategic priorities outlined in the National Development Plan (Vision 2030).<
