API consultant met with the undersecretary of economic planning Mr Abdullah Ibrahim Ali Ismaeel, and Dr Abdelmoneim Mohamed Eltayeb President of the Academy of Financial and Economic Studies, as well as directors and technical staff of the planning commission. The different meetings focused on critically reviewing the nature of the missions of the planning commission as well as its organization plan and the steps of the planning process and the resources mobilized. The outcome of this review highlighted the need for a comprehensive technical support in order to uplift the quality of the planning process. A deep review of the planning process and organization is needed to ensure that the commission is endowed with an efficient organization compatible with scientific planning.

In order to concretize such actions, API will elaborate a technical report that details all the assistance needed in order to achieve the goals of mission.
