Eleventh Five Year Plan 2013-2018: “Self-reliance and Inclusive Green Socio-economic Development”.

The Eleventh Five Year Plan 2013-2018 is focused on self-reliance and inclusive green socio-economic development. Self-reliance is defined as the ability to meet all national development needs as articulated through 5 Year Plans by 2020. Inclusive development refers to reducing poverty and inequality by enhancing the standard of living and the quality of life of the most vulnerable sections of society. An important cross cutting principle shall be the continued adoption of rigorous environmental standards in the pursuit of our development objectives. Hence the Plan shall ensure the mainstreaming and incorporation of green or carbon neutral strategies in all foreseen activities. The Plan is structured upon National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) which are outcomes at the national level that the government needs to achieve in order to realize the Eleventh Plan objective of self-reliance and inclusive green socio-economic development. Sixteen NKRAs are identified based on the following four pillars: (1) Sustainable and equitable socio-economic development; (2) Preservation and promotion of culture; (3) Conservation and sustainable utilization of environment; (4) Good governance.
