National Strategic Planning Framework : Tonga

Abstract

This document provides a new Strategic Planning approach for the Government of Tonga. The previous Strategic Development Plan 8 (SDP8), which covered the years 2006/07 – 2008/09, was the right one for the time, but this new framework takes a longer term view of 5-10 years. Polices must look beyond the present and build the foundation for sustainable and lasting growth. While the fundamental economic analysis and the strategic direction of recent years remain valid, there are issues that have progressively increased in importance.
