Genesis of The National Development Plan
Project 2012, Bahamas Approaches IDB for assistance with planning
March 2013, IDB approved a Technical Cooperation, Strengthening the InstitutionalCapacity of the Office of The Prime Minister $450,000 Grant to be executed over 30 months
Grant covers Development planning ($330,000) and strengthening BIA ($115,000) andknowledge dissemination ($5,000), in kind contribution of The Bahamas Government.
Justification: Common Vision. The Bahamas has lacked a comprehensive and publicly discussed long-
term strategy for the countrys economic development since its independence in 1973.
Strategic Decision Making. Without such a strategy, the prioritization of policies,programs and investment projects has most times been made on an ad hoc basis (Mediumterm strategies developed for Health and Education, etc); But no clear long term roadmap;
Better Budgeting. Need for a strategy that could be integrated into operational plansand the budget process;
Integrated Investment Decisions. Lack of a national strategy led to institutionalfragmentation, inefficiencies and inconsistencies in investment (national and foreign)decisions over time, as authorities lack objective justifications to reject non-priority
projects.

Why the Bahamas Needs a NDP
IDB Country Strategy with the Commonwealth of the
Bahamas: 2013 2017 Report notes development issues
stemming from:
the lack of a consolidated long-term economic development strategy
which tends to cause decision-making to be ad hoc and subject to
political influence rather than efficiency criteria, leading to inefficiencies
and inconsistencies.
the absence of an appropriate institutional arrangement and a clearmethodology to assess and prioritize public investment projects,
reducing the effectiveness and transparency of public expenditure.
