These aspirations are articulated in Vision 2050, which envisions a smart, healthy, and wise society for PNG by the year 2050. Vision 2050 is then translated into long-term strategic intervention programs outlined in the Development Strategic Plan (2010–2030).
These programs align with the principles of sustainable development as outlined in the National Strategy for Responsible Sustainable Development. Within the framework of the Medium-Term Development Plans (MTDP), sectoral intervention programs have been developed to support these goals.
