MDAs are required to prepare their respective SDPs which are consistent with the long term national development goals and objectives. The SDPs provide strategic directions of the sectors over their plan period which has to be consistent with the time frame and horizon of NDPs, five years. The SDPs further ensure that the sectors are capable of fulfilling the sector roles defined in the National Development Plans and spell out the interventions, including detailed inputs and target indicators, to achieve each objective identified in the sector.
