Plan (2021-2041) to turn the country as a higher middle-income country by 2031 and a higher income & developed country by 2041. In spite of significant achievement in line, the country is still facing enormous challenges in poverty reduction, quality education and life-long learning; ensuring food security, health and nutrition; secure water and sanitation, sustained and inclusive economic growth, social development, productive employment, gender equity and women empowerment, governance, peaceful and inclusive societies etc. The noble efforts of MCCA are nothing but to keep continued the country’s accelerated growth path to finally achieve the sustainable development of the country.
