The launch event will be held at The College of The Bahamas in the Harry C. Moore Library and Information Centre at 6:30 p.m.

The National Development Plan: Vision2040 will provide a roadmap for the future development of The Bahamas, guiding Government decision making and investment over the next 25 years.

Vision2040 is an initiative of the Government of The Bahamas, developed in partnership with the Inter-American Development Bank and in close cooperation with the College of The Bahamas and The Bahamas Chamber of Commerce and Employers Confederation. The Plan is being guided by extensive research, analysis and widespread public consultation aimed at addressing four main policy pillars: The Economy, Governance, Social Policy and the Environment (Natural and Built).
