National Guidance and Religious Affairs Minister Godfridah Sumaili has called for a mindset and fundamental shift in the implementation of the 7th National Development Plan which is anchored on an integrated multi-sectorial approach.
Speaking when she officiated at the launch of the a Policy Monitoring and Research Centre (PMRC) publication titled “The importance of Mindset Shift in the implementation of the Seventh National Development Plan”, Reverend Sumaili notes that the 7NDP talks about the need for attitude and behavioral change tailored towards transforming the national development pathways.
