The Master Plan will serve as a tool for the government authorities to identify the strategies that the State will adopt to achieve the medium term (five years) and long term (ten years) development goals as set out for the sector as a whole. The Master Plan will furthermore be used to acquaint the economic agents with the intentions and expectations of the State, thereby furnishing a basis on which the private sector may plan its business operations and investments. Lastly, the Master Plan will be an instrument to define priorities with regard to the external development aid needs and the coordination of such aid.
