The priorities outlined in this document are transformative in their approach guided by sound economic and environmental considerations as the main route to poverty reduction. The GSPS is the Government’s overarching framework for macro-economic policies, sector strategies and plans, the structural reform agenda, the annual Public Sector Investment Programmes (PSIP), the annual budgets and social protection and poverty reduction strategies. This fourth edition of the GSPS includes an update of the accomplishments, challenges and lessons learned and creates a revised platform for pivoting the development strategies to respond more directly to the new challenges which arose out of the 2008 global crisis and which continue to dominate the global economic landscape.
