Join the debate
The National Development Strategy (NDS) will present the vision and roadmap for our country for the next 20 years. This vision, which we began to create and build in 2021, will have to imagine our society in the next 20 years, until 2041.
The purpose of this call is to create a registry/base of external experts as members of the Working Committee, who will occasionally be engaged in the preparation and updating of the text of the National Development Strategy and the Program for its implementation.

This paper describes how a humble approach to policymaking can help institutions in achieving long-term goals and policies. The authors suggest that ‘for the government to formulate policies that address the most pressing questions of the 21st century, it must first address the structural and cultural problems of its policy-making processes. Solving wicked problems requires policy-making that moves away from the illusion of top-down steering into a networked model’
