Fiji: 5-year and 20-year national development plan

Fiji’s National Development Plan (NDP), with the vision of “Transforming Fiji”, maps out the way forward for Fiji and all Fijians. For the first time, Fiji has both a 20-Year Development Plan (2017-2036) and a comprehensive 5-Year Development Plan (2017-2021). These plans work together, as the 5-Year Development Plan provides a detailed action agenda with specific targets and policies that are aligned to the long-term transformational 20-Year Development Plan.

This forward-looking NDP is the outcome of a nationwide consultation process that involved the private sector, civil society, community groups, government and the general public. It reflects the aspirations of the Fijian people, and their Government’s commitment to deliver on these goals. 

The NDP is aligned with global commitments including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Consistent with the goal of the Paris Agreement to achieve climate neutrality and a low-emission world, we will develop a 2050 Pathway to decarbonise the Fijian economy.

The integrated nature of development and the need for multi-sectoral solutions are recognised and addressed. Critical cross-cutting issues such as climate change, green growth, the environment, gender equality, disability and governance are mainstreamed in the NDP.
