National vision for sustainable development. The long-term vision for the country’s development is set out in the National Programme for Socio-Economic Development, 2011-2030 (NPSD)10. Approved in 2010, the NPSD calls for the country’s development to be accelerated through a combination of stronger institutions and policies, better synergy between the public sector and private market forces, greater use of modern technology, and deeper integration into the global economy. It incorporates four guiding principles, namely: i) High rates of growth; ii) Macroeconomic stability; iii) Private sector development; and iv) Improved living standards and quality of life of the population. Improved living standards of the population are to be achieved through a blend of economic and social policies. Economic policies focus on diversification, innovation, and infrastructure. Social policies target two strategic objectives: i) expanding the size of middle-class inter alia through new, more attractive private sector jobs, expanded employee training and re-training, and higher incomes; and ii) reducing the number of disadvantaged and vulnerable people through more and better targeted social assistance and higher quality social services. Against this background, the NPSD envisions several qualitative long-term outcomes for the country’s economic and social development by 2030. These include: a more diversified economy, less dependent on the extraction and export of hydrocarbons and minerals, that is characterized by: enhanced human capital with an improved skills base; upgraded market institutions; expanded domestic processing of agricultural and other products, such as cotton textiles, fruit, vegetables, and livestock; increased production of chemicals and construction materials, increased use of alternative, renewable sources of energy; and the mainstreaming of modern, evidence-based approaches to the protection of the country’s environment, including enhanced management of its scarce arable land, water, and forestry resources. Upgrading the country’s rural infrastructure and increasing the rural population’s living standards are the focus of the ongoing Rural Development Programme. Approved in April 2007 until 2020, this large investment programme represents the major effort to upgrade educational, health, and cultural facilities, energy and water supply, communications and transport, and local government infrastructure at the district, town, and village level in the country’s five regions. It is also designed to c...

  • Workforce Development MPC’s technical training program is having a major impact in the region. Online modules, short courses, webinars, and on site/videoconferencing events are reaching state and local transportation department employees and tribal transportation planners. By harnessing the capabilities of the four LTAP centers located at the MPC universities and the multimedia capabilities of the Transportation Learning Network (which was founded and is partly funded by MPC) more than 76 technical training events were offered in the second half of 2015. These training modules and short courses are critical to transportation agencies that need to improve or renew the skills of engineering technicians and other frontline workers. Many MPC courses or training events result in the certification of workers. Even when certification is not required, TLN’s online learning management systems allow employees and employers to set learning goals and monitor progress towards these goals. MPC is making another major impact in workforce development. Altogether, 57 graduate students are working on MPC research projects under the tutelage of faculty researchers. These graduate students represent the researchers and technical analysts of tomorrow. Without the MPC program and the stipend funds that it provides, these students may not be specializing in transportation; but, instead would be seeking career opportunities in other fields. The MPC research program allows faculty to mentor graduate students while allowing the students to work on projects for federal and state transportation agencies—thereby, gaining valuable practical experience.
