President Bioâs opening salvo in this yearâs speech at the State opening of Parliament set the scene very well. He reaffirmed his governmentâs commitment to Human Capital Development, which he said was not a mere slogan. Indeed, his litany of achievements seem to be skewed firmly towards Human Development.
The President is rightly proud of the recruitment and training of thousands of teachers and hiring and deploying more school inspectors in every District. The construction of the University of Kono will start later this year. NACSA has embarked upon activities for protecting the most vulnerable by building school and community infrastructure. Government also provided cash transfers to over a hundred thousand poor and vulnerable families and informal sector workers and is implementing the National Micro-Finance Programme (MUNAFA FUND) to provide finance to targeted SMEs.
