National Development Plan Free State Growth and Development

National Development Plan, Free State Growth and Development Strategy and the Strategic Integrated Projects Office of the Premier Human Resource Development Council 11 September 2018

Background and Introduction § The government adopted the National Development Plan (NDP) as a blueprint for future economic and socio-economic development strategy for the country. The strategic perspectives of the NDP offer a long-term vision for the country until 2030, and aim to ensure that all South Africans attain a decent standard of living through the elimination of poverty and the reduction of inequality. § The NDP will play a critical role in the drive towards job creation and economic stimulus, with a series of ambitious initiatives envisaged to transform South Africa’s economic landscape, virtually eliminate unemployment and improve the delivery of basic services. § Similarly, the Free State Provincial Government has developed the Free State Growth and Development Strategy (FSGDS) embedded within the NDP. The FSGDS is an elaborate framework to profoundly redefine the long-term provincial inclusive growth and development landscape. Like the NDP, the Strategy outlines the future of the province and maps a shared development trajectory towards 2030.

NDP and FSGDS Vision 2030 acknowledges the central role that the state must play in addressing the historical legacy of dispossession, marginalization and domination. It recognizes the nexus between the state and the people. The draft Free State Vision 2030 draws on the experiences of the people in shaping the future they want. Inclusive economic growth and sustainable job creation Free State Vision 2030 By 2030, the Free State shall have a resilient, thriving and competitive economy that is inclusive with immense prospects for human development formation anchored on the principles of unity, dignity, diversity, equality and prosperity for all.
