National Development Plan (PND)
The National Development Plan (Span. PND) is the framework of the Government of the Republicwhich defines policies that will regulate government action to promote the country's development, increase production and productivity, income distribution, access to social services and citizen participation and to improve the quality of life of the population. It establishes, in a binding manner for public entities, ministries and other bodies, the priorities, objectives and strategies derived from these policies, which have been set by the Government of the Republic at the national, regional and sectoral levels. The Ministry of National Planning and Economic Policy is responsible for directing and coordinating the participation of the various public bodies, entities and companies as well as other civil society stakeholders in formulating the National Development Plan and its modifications. Likewise, the Network for Coordination of Territorial Development and Citizen Participation will define the mechanisms and instruments for the policies, programs and projects of public institutions and respond to the needs and priorities as defined by the stakeholders of the regions, territories, cantons and communities. In 2020, the Government of Costa Rica has already approved four National Development Plans.
