Government Unveils 100-Day Action Plan with Delivery-Based Governance Framework

The government has officially announced the implementation of a Delivery-Based Governance model aimed at ensuring result-oriented, effective, measurable, and accountable public service delivery, with a comprehensive 100-day reform agenda targeting governance, economy, and public services.

The decision was endorsed during a Cabinet meeting held on Friday, signaling a major shift toward performance-driven governance designed to bring tangible improvements to citizens’ daily lives.

Delivery-Based Governance Framework

Under the new system, each ministry is required to prepare an action plan within seven days, identifying 10 priority tasks, along with clear timelines, responsible officials, and key performance indicators (KPIs). Monthly progress reports will be submitted to the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers for monitoring, evaluation, and public reporting.

The government also announced plans to formulate a unified “National Commitment”, integrating implementable agendas from the election manifestos of all political parties that participated in the recent House of Representatives election held on March 5.

Additionally, a Constitution Amendment Debate Taskforce will be formed within a week to build national consensus on potential constitutional reforms.
