The Chief Executive of the Millennium Development Authority (MiDA), Alexander Kofi-Mensah Mould has reassured that the outcomes of the National Economic Dialogue(NED), will not be shelved as speculated by a section of concerned Ghanaians.
“MiDA is committed to ensuring that resolutions from the dialogue translate into tangible, game-changing projects including other transformational projects in the NDC‘s manifesto” Alex Mould emphasized.
The MiDA Boss, who was speaking to the media on the sidelines of the dialogue, affirmed that the Authority, which has been tasked as government's Project Implementation Unit (PIU), is fully prepared to drive cross-ministry, cross-sectoral projects.
Hence, he reiterated that the dialogue would not become yet another talk shop but a springboard for real economic transformation.
The National Economic Dialogue has six thematic areas of critical importance to Ghana‘s economic transformation. Each thematic area has assigned subject matter experts from diverse fields, who will lead break-out sessions to brainstorm and discuss practical and actionable solutions
in their respective areas.
The MiDA boss shared that his organization is poised to put into action the focus groups' recommendations, if subsumed by government, as part of its development agenda.
Alex Mould further indicated that this commitment to actuate government's manifesto policies into game-changing and transformational projects will be done in collaboration with the Ministry of Finance.
“MiDA is the project implementation unit of the country. It is going to handle the key transformational, game-changing projects that are in our manifesto and those that shall come out of these implementation thematics. We will be working closely with the Minister for Finance on funding to implement all of these. We are eager to work with the various ministries, development institutions, and development banks to implement these transformational game-changing projects, he told the media.
This assurance from MiDA signifies a strong commitment from the government to move beyond policy discussions towards execution.
Critics argue that Ghana has seen numerous economic forums that have yielded well-intentioned recommendations that failed to materialize due to bureaucracy, political interference, and financial constraints.
Nonetheless, MiDA’s readiness to spearhead implementation indicates a shift towards action-oriented governance. The Authority's commitment to execute key projects aligns with government’s broader vision of resetting the economy through strategic investments in infrastructure, energy, and industrial transformation.
