With this year’s theme, “Beyond the Pandemic: Charting the Path Towards Full Economic Growth and Recovery,” the country now needs to look beyond the pandemic and prepare for the emerging challenges ahead.
The year 2020 brought enormous challenges for the country and around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic caused an unprecedented health crisis on a global scale that endangered lives and crippled the economy.
The theme “Connecting Minds, Charting NEDA’s Directions,” speaks of NEDA’s commitment to ensuring that a whole-of-government and whole-of-society approach is in place through a well-coordinated development planning cycle in the country — from planning, investment programming, budgeting, and monitoring and evaluation; and in the process, pursuing the continuous development of the institution for it to better serve the people.
