The Cabinet of Ministers has given the go-ahead to set up a National Development Committee to evaluate the progress of new projects and programs implemented by the government.
The committee will be chaired by former Deputy Treasury Secretary Daya Liyanage.
The proposal tabled by President Ranil Wickremesinghe, had been granted cabinet approval yesterday (22).
According to the release on cabinet decisions, the government had noted that past development projects and programs failed to achieve the expected results as they were implemented without proper evaluation.
