This presentation concluded Week 2 of targeted Stakeholder Engagements, which addressed various thematic areas, including Lands and Natural Resources, Local Government and Decentralization, Public Services and State Enterprises, Non-judicial Independent Constitutional Bodies and Executive Advisory Councils, and Political Parties.
Future stakeholder engagements will focus on additional thematic areas, such as The Executive, Legislature, and Judiciary, Directive Principles of State Policy and NDPC, Fundamental Rights, Women, Youth and Vulnerable Groups, and Anti-corruption.
